We enjoyed our stay at the cabin in the woods! It was close proximity to WEC with a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere to enjoy at the end of long days at the horse show!

Perfect cozy cabin

The pictures don't do this cozy cabin justice. Perfect for my husband and I to get away for the weekend. Everything was clean and it was very well stocked. Plenty of blankets for a chilly weekend. High recommend. Owners were easy to communicate with mad very helpful when needed.

Cowan Cozy Cottages

The cottage was very quaint and definitely cozy. Far enough off of the road to not be bothered by traffic. Not that there was a lot of traffic. It was very peaceful, and the cottage was very clean and well maintained. We will stay here again

Wonderful cabin in the woods! Everything was comfortable and quiet. Loved to deck to relax and enjoy nature. We spent most of our time at the Roberts Centre, a 20 min. drive for our Belgian Tervuren nationals. Worked out great!

Nice, clean place for family and kids

We arrived late and were happy to be met with clean sheets on the beds and clean overall. Cleanliness is most important to my wife and she had no complaints, which is rare in that regard. It has a nice, open, large room with a couch and TV for the boys. We enjoyed our stay. The owner is super accessible. I would definitely use it again.

Very peaceful

This property has good proximity to hiking destinations, food, gas and basic retail. However when you're at the cabin you'd never guess that. It's so quiet and secluded. The deck and rear room were particulary lovely especially if you have interest in birds. We didn't use so much of what we brought because so much was supplied for us. Very homey feel. Quite comfortable stay.
