Cozy Cove Cabins was sold in March. New owners Travis and Heidi Cutler have been at the helm since March 8th. We have been very busy doing some renovations, redecorations, and a lot of behind the scenes work! Our website was a major undertaking. We started from scratch with a completely new platform. We also added an online booking system. So far, the online booking has been flawless. It is a very easy to use program for both the user and for us. Our website address is still the same, cozycovecabins.com. Going forward our blog posts will be done from the new website. You can follow us on our new blog at https://cozycovecabins.com/blog/ We also post a lot of fun content on our social media pages. Follow along to see all things Jackman!
We have sold Cozy Cove Cabins
Today, March 8, 2023 we have sold Cozy Cove Cabins. We have loved this life, Jackman, the sunsets, the lake, the people we have met and yes, even all the blood sweat and tears we shed working on the cabins so this truly is bittersweet for us.
For those of you who do not know our story, I’ll be brief. LOL Probably not
We knew we wanted A Cozy Cove Cabin since 1994. Did our first search & ended up in NH. The place we wanted sold just before we got there. SO we stayed in NH, then in 2003, sold our house and started our search once again. We looked at almost 80 properties across NE (NH, VT, M& Me), Michigan, and even Texas!
The funny thing is when we saw Tuckaway shores for sale in Jackman, we thought…what is in Jackman? It is so far from everything this can’t be good. . Then Cozy Cove went on the market, so we made a trip to check the 2 properties on a very blustery day in February.We looked at Tuckaway first then at Cozy Cove. We made the offer almost the next day.
This was the perfect location, size, and condition for what we wanted to do.
The first 8-10 years was really hard work. Every part of each cabin was touched by us inside and out, a few times even, to get them to where we are today. These are old Maine camps; most were brought in from somewhere around Maine and this is what we wanted them to stay. Tearing down and building new is just not who we are. We just had to make them able to tolerate the 4 seasons better and get rid of the 1970 carpets. The surprises we found under shag carpets and behind paneled walls. It has been a learning experience since day one and definitely a labor of love. You can read our journal and see our progress over the years in each cabin. As there are still many things to do here, besides general maintenance, we hope this tradition of sharing continues.
But it is time for us to start the next chapter of our life. There is no plan yet. We will be traveling awhile to see where we want to nest next.
It has been an honor and a joy meeting so many wonderful people. We have appreciated your patronage and a special thank you to those who keep coming back. Some guests have become great friends and some, even if they only stayed with us a few times, have found a place in our hearts too. You will be missed.
We hope Travis & Heidi enjoy you and this new life as much as we have.
This was the last photo we took in the fall with Maggie and Murphy girl is watching on from her happy place. We hope you remember us fondly.

Trail report March 2023
WE HAVE THE SNOW!
I got a call yesterday from a guest in Massachusetts and said she saw that we have snow! Really? Does everyone south of Maine not realize that Jackman has snow for riding and ice for fishing until at least the end of March?
Yes the past few years have been sketchy but it seems we are back to olur normal now. So riding should be good the rest of the season. The BRC will continue to groom until there is no riding options.
Right now, our trails as well as surrounding club trails are in fantastic condition. You can find their trail reports on facebook. We had a couple small storms this week, about 3-5 inches in town. Higher elevations usually get more. Another small storm today and the forecast is for another snow event next weekend.
It’s OK if you do not ice fish, or snowmobile…bring the kids and go sledding or just enjoy some quiet time. March is typically snowy but not as blustery as January or February.
We still have a couple cabins open in March for the weekends. Plus don’t forget about our mid week discount.
February 2 Trail report
We have been getting some decent snow past couple weeks on top of a good solid base.
The Jackman region as well as Coburn, Rockwood and Pittston Farm are all reporting fantastic trail conditions. As well as our guests here this week. Trails are simply perfect.
The cold spell expected Friday-Saturday is going to put a damper on the winter fun. Just rmeber to bundle up and cover exposed skin. Be safe out there.

ROUND UP 2023
Whenever a guest pay cash for the cabin and does not want the change back, maybe 0.20 or $1.50, we always added that small change into the Border Riders Donation box. It is not a lot but does add up to a contribution for both winter and summer activities.
We are making it officiall
ROUND UP! Pay cash (or check) for your stay and round up to the nearest dollar. All extra will go toward the Border Riders Club and the trail system Plus, if you pay with cash, you get a free Cozy Cove Grocery bag
Everyone had an incredible holiday weekend here at Cozy Cove Cabins. The trails are not pristine yet but the ice on Big Wood is solid. I do not have a camera with a wide enough angle to capture all the activity out there. Lots of folks out there.
Then we have a young one racing dad on the little racetrack by the shore. I think the 5 year old won.
Great weather for fishing, relaxing or socializing around a campfire .
Get out there and enjoy the day.
