It is well known the the sunsets we see from Cozy Cove are always incredible. This lovely September evening is no different
Summer Fun
Romance on Big Wood
A warm summer evening in August. A young couple fishing and a family of 5 kayak into the sunset. I have no other words. The photos speak for themselves.
4th of July award
Every 4th of July, a few of our guests enter the float competition. They always get creative. This year, they did Grease! Played great music, dressed in 50s attire and even had a couple T birds on board. They one the Judges award this year. It was fun getting it ready.
If you go to our facebook page, I captured a brief video of them coming back to camp.
Wildlife at Cozy Cove Cabins
You never know what kind of wildlife you will see while staying here at Cozy Cove. Last month, mamma turtle was laying her eggs, today we have a unicorn.
4th of July 2021 in Jackman
The 4th of July in Jackman is always a fun day. It usually starts with a parade through town. Not only locals participate but we have a group of our guests that enter the parade every year. And win! SO feel free to join in the fun, even if you are just visiting.
After the parade, here at Cozy Cove, we have our annual potluck picnic with our guests. If you are not staying with us this year, you are still invited. Just bring a dish to share.
At dusk, the town has an awesome fireworks display. Some say it is the best in Maine.
This year the JMMRCOC is sponsoring A FREEDOM RACE in the morning of the 4th. They hope to make this an annual event too. Anyone is welcome to participate. The best part, we can cheer on the racers from our shore or along Main street.

Discover Maine
Here we are, mid July and this Pandemic is still around. We do hope that all of you out thee are staying safe and still able to enjoy the summer.
We are lucky in Maine that there has not been many horrific outbreaks. Could it be that people are maintaining distances or wearing face coverings in Maine, or is it simply because our clean air and ability to get out in it is helping? Who knows.
We do know that Maine people this summer are truly discovering Maine! Specifically, our area and maybe even other towns that they have never been to before. At least this is what are guests are saying.
Many of our guests so far have said they have never been to Jackman. They wanted a place to visit where they could get out and explore the outdoors and feel like they can still maintain distance from others.
That is what the Jackman region can offer. Wide open space. You do not need to have an ATV, a boat, or even a fishing pole to be outdoors. But if you do, we have lakes and streams to fish and trails to ride. Or, you can stay at camp and play ball with the kids, swim in the lake, make a campfire at night and roast marshmallows. Or put on some sunscreen and just enjoy being outdoors and the serenity many find here.
We had a group here this week that brought their ATVs, grills, pop up tent and corn hole game. They rode hard all day then spent the evenings talking, laughing, cooking out and watching a sunset by the campfire. What a great way to end a perfect day with friends.
4th of July parade winners
Once again, our guests, Celie and Kevin designed a float for the Jackman 4th of July Parade and won, the most outrageous award.
The initial plan was modified as they did not have a big trailer to attach. The theme was supposed to be something along the lines of “Summer 2020” but there was not enough room to add the summer props.
But the dressed in full “isolation” suits with a bathing suit over top, masks, and all carried bottles of “hand sanitizer” to spray the crowds. Of course Henry (the jeep has a name) also wore a mask.
The best part was that all along Main street, everyone laughed as we drove by. (Yes I drove) SO it served its purpose. Make the best of what it is.
Campfire by the water
What can be better than a roaring campfire by the water
as you watch an incredible sunset?
Kayaking on the ponds
Calm waters, blue skies, and kayak. Perfect day to explore the ponds in Jackman Maine.
Water fun
Today is one of those perfect summer days in Jackman. The skies are clear, sun is warm, no humidity and the waters are calm. It is a great day to be out on the lake swimming, laying around in a tube, or water skiing.
Or just sit on the deck and watch them ride by
