Thank you, Lori! I love the pic of your dog at the water! Our pup loves the water so much which is one of the reasons we opened up the rental this year to dogs as well! They deserve a chance to frolic in the open water too! You are welcome back any time!

Cottage was absolutely amazing. It provided a wonderful place to relax, swim and enjoy some quiet time as a family. They had everything you needed for the beach and the fire pit provided a wonderful view of the water. We had no issues and would recommend this place. Host was very accommodating and worked to make sure everything was great.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kozy Cottage. It was exactly what we were looking for—a peaceful, quiet, and relaxing getaway. The beautiful river view was the perfect backdrop for enjoying our morning coffee and unwinding in the evenings. From the moment we arrived, it was clear the host had put great care into every detail. The cottage was cozy, spotless, and thoughtfully appointed, making us feel right at home. We truly appreciated the host's exceptional hospitality and attention to detail. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend Kozy Cottage to anyone looking for a serene riverside retreat.

Wow! I can’t say enough about how truly wonderful this spot is! What a beautiful view from EVERYWHERE in the cottage! It was so thoughtfully appointed with everything you could possibly need. The sandy beach was underwater on our first day due to some storms upstream but it revealed it’s awesomeness the very next day with a nice wide sandy area where we swam with our doggos. My only question is: how do I become a neighbor?

So happy you had such a great time! One of the reasons we rent the cottage out is so that we can ‘share’ it with others. It is such a special place. Welcome back—especially in the spring/fall, when the beach is biggest and it cools down enough for roaring outside fires!

An absolutely heavenly space. The cottage was warm, cozy and a true home away from home. The wooden interior takes you back to days gone by. As soon as we opened the door I was overcome with emotions feeling as if I knew this place from my past. One night the power went out, but there were some oil lamps so we could play Scrabble and other games. We spent most of our time on the screened in porch soaking in two parts of nature. The bayside included the beach, gentle lapping waves, & seagulls. Then the woodland side provided us with frogs, cicadas, even two owls hooting at night. We kayaked and fished. I was extremely impressed with the all natural medicinal plants growing along side the property. The dog fennel and the wild yarrow. The cottage was private and surrounded by farm land and a few distant cottages. Very relaxing and we certainly didn't want to leave.

We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at the cottage, Peggy! And thank you for noticing our burgeoning meadows. It’s taken about six years to get it this far and I do admit that we get a lot of joy from just letting nature take over and seeing what emerges. Welcome back anytime!

Relaxing River House

We had a great time at this rustic cabin on the river. The screened in porch was great for feeding the kids throughout the day, and the firepit with ample supply of firewood was great for nighttime fires.

Wonderful weekend getaway

I took my family of four to the Kozy Kottage for the long holiday weekend. It was the best getaway for our family, and our children enjoyed the private beach area. The owner has thought of everything to make this a very comfortable and relaxing stay. The amenities, little touches of hospitality (i.e. smore kit, beach chairs, towels, outdoor games, etc) was much appreciated. We will certainly return in the future.

Great stay

Had a great stay, only thing i can stress from their description is that you may or may not have a beach during your stay, we didn't but it was a lovely relaxing stay, it was also well stocked with everything you could need. If you want ice right away pick up 1 on your way in..but we used the trays we filled on arrival and had plenty:)

We are glad you had a great stay and were able to relax. The beach can vary in size (from small to large) depending on the weather, tides, and wind. It is one of the amazing things about the cottage--seeing how nature remakes the coastline from day to day. We hope you are able to return for another stay.

Truly a kozy kottage and kozy stay

Everything at the property was as advertised. Just bring the fam and food and everything else is taken care of. Really enjoyed the added touches like providing a s'mores kit, or having cold drinks already available upon check in as provided by host. Don't let this one slip away and enjoy your stay at the kozy kottage

A few days on the Bay.

The property is a very good blend of old and new. Still has the vintage cabin feel with modern amenities. Very comfortable with amazing views of sunrise and sunset. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. The steps to the small beach provided easy access to the water. Our grandsons enjoyed the water. We are planning a return trip.
