Cozy Cottage was perfect

We came to town for a family visitation and funeral and did not want to stay at a local motel. Cozy Cottage was a very relaxing and peaceful way to unwind after an emotional time. We will be back. I definitely recommend this property to anyone. The property has several cottages and would work for any size group.

Beautiful cottage, Amazing property

We were in the area for a mountain bike race at Shepherd Mountain. This cottage worked perfect for 3 adults and 2 teenagers. Linda, the host, was responsive and friendly. The cottage was super clean, had beautiful antique furniture, and comfortable beds. We were very thankful for the air conditioning since it was unseasonably warm during our stay. We requested a hose to wash bikes and our host provided one. The location was close to town and the bike park, but it was quiet and secluded. I hiked the trails on the property daily and recommend tick repellent. It was fun to explore. We would definitely stay here again.

Home in the Woods

I chose that title because I spent a couple of summers at a Methodist church camp (Epworth Forest in Indiana) and that's what we called our daytime "base." It is, however, a fitting title given the oak-hickory forest that surrounds the property. Cozy Cottage lived up to its name; both comfy and cozy despite our arrival on day three of a four-day rain event. It was our 6-month-old Lab's first road trip, and she loved running through the fallen leaves and investigating all the sticks they'd buried. The We found the furnishings comfortable and the kitchen well-equipped. We slept like the proverbial babies in the "master bedroom"; with an extra room for storing our gear. Our meals were taken around a handsome farmhouse table. Cozy Cottage has easy access to several nearby state parks, the Ozark Trail, and Shepherd Mountain bike park; as well as hunting and fishing in the nearby Mark Twain National Forest. We visited several of the parks; sadly most were fully or partially closed because of a major flooding event. We did get into Elephant Rock and Taum Sauk, however. We also hiked some of the trails on the property, tracking the white gravel paths through the fallen leaf cover. We're not much for dining out on trips, but we did get some pretty good burgers from the Iron Mule in Ironton and a massive, 2-person cinnamon roll from Thee Abbey Kitchen in Arcadia. Thanks to our hosts for a pleasant stay.

Fall getaway

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend away at this cottage. Beautiful fall setting surrounded by trees. Over six miles of hiking trails on property and easy access to several state parks nearby. Cottage is very comfortable with two up-to-date bathrooms, three well-sized bedrooms, full kitchen, dining area with big table (works well for playing games) and nice living area. Exceeded our expectations and we plan to come back in the future.

Great get-away, surrounded by nature's beauty

The house– clean, updated, many conveniences. We’ve stayed in MANY VRBO homes and this was one of our favorites. The extensive grounds were full of beautiful trees. Surrounded by nature. The garden and trail were lovely! Out and about, we recommend visiting Johnson Shut-Ins, Elephant Rock or taking a float trip on the Black River. The nearby Abbey Kitchen, ice cream shop and antique store were marvelous. We at dinner there both nights of our stay.

We stayed for two nights and it was great! The beds were comfy, the kitchen had everything you need. The walking trails were nice and we saw hawks, rabbits, deer, squirrels, and lots of birds. Would definitely stay again.
