OUR MINI-CABINS ARE OPEN ALL YEAR ROUND FOR GLAMPING GETAWAYS!
NEW BATHHOUSE OPENING NOVEMEMBER 2024
Howdy Partner! Dust off your boots and stay at Cowtown Cabins, the beach area's newest ranch experience, featuring a Wild West town in the making!
The "Old West Bank" is a one-room mini-cabin that will take you back to the time of bank robberies and gold. However, this town bank comes with two twin-size beds in case you have an extra cowboy/ cowgirl with you, along with a smart TV, a mini fridge, a microwave, and heating/ air.
This bank themed cabin is light and bright due to the beautiful stained glass, and transom windows that let in the perfect moonlight. You'll enjoy watching Herbie the Scottish Highland peacefully graze from your rear window. Since this bank has a lot of gold, you may want to sit in the front porch rocking chairs and keep an eye out for any bandits!
(((((((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 bank tellers!))))))
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.) This tour happens daily at 10am.
Everything you could want is at your fingertips and very close by. If you desire to be at the beach, but skip the loud condo neighbors and buzzing OC crowds, then this is the place for you!

FAQ's
1. What should I bring on my trip? Shelley suggests bringing drinking water, slippers/ loafers, and campfire wood if using the firepit (or you can buy ours and have it delivered to your doorstep.) If you plan on doing "Chores N' Tour with Shelley and feeding all the farm animals, bring closed-toe shoes such as sneakers or boots. No flip-flops or sandals are allowed for animal experiences.
2. Can I wander around the ranch, unattended? Keep in mind we are a small ranch and while 1/2 of our property is open, the other 1/2 is livestock pastures and other Airbnb's. You can walk to the glampground, play a round of corn hole or the new horseshoe pit.
3. Can I access the all animals? The cabin backs up to a cattle pasture with "Herbie" the Highland to enjoy from your back windows. To access all the animals, book Chores N' Tour which is an hour-long experience feeding, watering and touring the entire ranch.
4. What other rentals are at the ranch? There is a barndominium, tiny house, two bell tent yurts, other mini-huts, and an entire Old West-themed glampground at the ranch. YES! You can have friends and family RENT other units and make this a group experience.

6. Can friends and family visit me while I'm at the ranch? No. The only people permitted to enter the property are registered guests. The public cannot access the property and we have a coded entrance gate. As a guest, you can expect to see other guests here, not people walking in off the street.
7. Can I catch a UBER or LYFT? Yes! You can easily catch a ride to Ocean City, Maryland, or beyond. You must be picked up at the entrance gate, not at the barndominium. How about food delivery? Yes! Order Doordash or pizza delivery. Just plan to meet your driver at the entrance gate, not the cabin.
8. Is there an option for early check-ins and late check-outs? No. Because this property has multiple rentals, we do not allow early check-ins, luggage drop off's or late check-outs. All cleans are performed on time and this keeps us on schedule for the next guest. Thank you for your understanding.
9. Are activities for children a different price than adults? All of our on-site activities are the same price for everyone.
