Fantastic Dog friendly place!

We were so impressed by how nice this place is. It is comfortable, well maintained and beautiful. The scenery is great and the fireflies put on a great show every night. We had a great time staying there while attending a dog show at the Robert's Center. The location was very convenient.

Our second visit was just as cozy as the first

This is our second year in a row of renting the Cozy Cottage. It’s a wonderful location to get away from it all while still close to plenty of Cowan Lake trails and Caesar’s Creek activities for the kids. We loved being to bring our dog and find all the amenities to feel like we were glamping. :)

Excellent Location

For a writer looking to getaway and get some work done, I couldn't have asked for a more quiet, peaceful, and serene location. The proximity to the lake was ideal and the cottage itself was beyond comfortable. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

Perfect accommodations & awesome host!

Attending a local dog show out in Wilmington, this cottage was the perfect home for us - it had everything we needed inside with a very well stocked kitchen ((thx for the Keurig supplies!)), lots of space to relax indoors and out, and super close to the beach and park to run our dog. The bed was very comfortable for sleeping, the large seating at the table was great for cards/games and the large sectional was great for movie watching. The natural lighting & decor was very weIcoming & the woods added to the ambiance. I would definitely stay here again the next time I’m in the area!

Extended Weekend Getaway

We were visiting for a performance at the Murphy Theater. The location was so very relaxing and in such a serene and beautiful area. The drive back the lane to get to the cabin was a gravel road. Check in was simple and seamless. There were two other cabins in the vicinity of ours, but you had the total illusion of being out there by yourself. The position of our cabin compared to the others was staggered, so while on the back deck, you can barely see part of the deck on the cabin next door. The cabin was stocked with everything you would need: dishes, pots pans, flatware, a crockpot, dish soap, hand towels, paper, towel, towels, and a dishwashrer. There was laundry soap, fabric softener sheets, towels, wash cloths, extra blankets, pillows, even split wood and lighters for the fire pit, as well as batteries for the flameless candles. There was a path that lead down to Cowan Lake from the cabin. Tom and Susan were extremely responsive to any questions that I had. I loved it! We even extended our stay by two days, and they were extremely accommodating. We will definitely return!

EXACTLY what I needed

Stayed at the cabin for 6 nights while in town for work. Thank goodness all of the hotels were full because I never would’ve found this gem. I needed peace and quiet to rest and study and that’s exactly what this cabin provided. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything I needed (including an electric kettle!) Communication with Tom was super fast and helpful. Couldn’t ask for more!

Peaceful sanctuary!

I loved my stay at this cottage! The peaceful, quiet setting was a welcomed respite from the daily chaos of a dog show at the Roberts Centre in Wilmington. The drive was very easy and sometimes I went back & forth several times daily. The cottage was larger than I expected, and very comfortable. I greatly appreciated that the owners permitted my two dogs. I hope future renters with pets continue to respect this property so the owner will continue to allow dogs. Thank you!!

Stayed for a wedding at the Ren fair.

A smaller group stayed here a wedding at the Ren fair, which was a convient 20 minute drive. There were 3 total beds that worked well for us. Tom was easy to talk with and super accommodating towards us.
