NEW BATHHOUSE OPENING NOVEMEMBER 2024
Howdy Partner! Dust off your boots and glamp at Cowtown Cabins, the beach area's newest ranch experience, featuring a Wild West town in the making!
The "County Jail" is a mini-glamping cabin that sleeps two (2) and will take you back to the time of stealing horses and shootouts. However, this slammer comes with a comfy, queen-sized bed that's sure to please any of our inmates!
Enjoy being 6 miles from Ocean City, MD and Delaware beaches while inside the cell, you'll have a Smart TV full of apps and movies, AC/ heat, a mini-fridge, electric tea kettle and coffee maker. If you get released early, you can sit out on the porch and enjoy two rocking chairs or some "yard time" around the firepit or fire up the BBQ grill that's included with your stay.
What can you expect? GLAMPING of course!! Come prepared and expect mixtures of both camping outdoors and glamping!
(((((((While our bathhouse is still under construction, there is access to a FLUSHABLE portable potty, an outdoor sink, and an outdoor hot/cold shower. See pictures. Please, no prissy prisoners!))))))
While here at the ranch, you can also enjoy one of our many on-site experiences, such as "Chores N' Tour" (feeding, watering, and learning about 20+ farm animals) and happens at 10am daily.
