Disliked: Cleanliness
The cabin, which is perfectly nestled in a beautiful, peaceful area just seven minutes from the World Equestrian Center—an ideal location for anyone attending events there. Tom and Susan were helpful and communicative throughout our stay, which we greatly appreciated.The cabin itself was well stocked with essentials, including plenty of water bottles and linens. The décor was simple and the accommodations were comfortable overall. One consideration for future guests: the only bathroom is accessible through the main bedroom, and the second bedroom has limited privacy, which might not work for all groups.While we did notice a musty smell and found the cabin not quite as clean as expected, Tom and Susan were quick to respond and assured us these concerns would be addressed. Based on other reviews, it seems this may have been an isolated case.All in all, it's a cozy, well-located retreat with thoughtful hosts.

Cosy stay in the woods

We couldnt have picked a better time. Secadas everywhere made you really feel you were having a nature escape. With the lake close by and lots to do you will never want to leave. Dont be afraid of nature. Remember its there home and you are the visitor.

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
