"Would stay here again"

"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. "

"Very relaxing and unique, very clean with almost everything ! Lots of trails within 20 minutes. Great stay !"

"Our stay was great. Everything was neat and clean. The property manager responded quickly and the property was secure and beautiful. I would recommend this place for a peaceful place to stay while visiting the beautiful natural wonders."

"It was an amazing stay would highly recommend and so appreciated our host very pet friendly thank you "

"The property was good for us. The kids,10, 9 and 6, had a great time running around. Firepit cookout was great, and the hot tub too. Fishing didn't work out bc of the small opening to the water. But, there was plenty to do in the area."

"This is a nice quiet little motel. Nothing fancy, but clean, close to a good restaurant, and very friendly staff."

"The location is perfect & quiet, with a beautiful deck, view, outdoor fire pit, seating, & lights. The yurt & facilities were clean. The fireplace was well used as it got chilly in the night. Our only complaint was the hot tub wasn’t warm when we arrived, but it only took a few hours to heat up."

"Very clean, easy communication with host."
