"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. "
