About this property

Cracker Cow Cottages consist of three charming cottages situated in the river district of downtown Ft. Myers, Florida. Nestled just one street away from McGregor Blvd., this property holds historical significance as it sits on what was once the cattle run of the Heritage Breed Cracker Cows. McGregor Blvd., now a paved road, was originally a dirt path carved by Cracker Cowboys guiding their stock to Punta Rassa. Upon reaching Punta Rassa, the cattle would be loaded onto ships destined for Cuba. Our cottages seamlessly blend modern amenities with a nod to the rich history of old Florida. Conveniently located in walking distance to restaurants and shopping as well as the Thomas Edison and Henry Ford historic winter homes, and a short drive to beaches.

Cracker Cow Cottage A at Ft. Myers

My wife and I booked our Cracker Cow Cottage in Ft. Myers, FL, for a 3 day, 2 night getaway vacation. We were interested in seeing the changes in the area after Hurricane Ian a year or two ago. We were very pleased with our cottage. It had everything we needed and so much more. The host really knows how to take care of every need a guest might have. We enjoyed our visit to Ft. Myers Beach where we observed things had been cleaned up extensively and demo and restoration work was being done on some of the buildings and even high rise hotels. Very interesting. (We had been to the area some 34 years ago in 1990 when our children were small on a vacation from our then Missouri home.) We walked beach at sunset on Thursday evening and it was beautiful. We also had a great meal on Friday for lunch with friends from Naples at Nervous Nellies. So delicious. We anticipated going to the Edison Museum, but we enjoyed the comforts of our cottage so much, that we decided to hang out at Cracker Cow Cottage A instead. This is a beautiful vacation rental and we highly recommend it to all. We did walk to historic downtown Ft. Myers and a fascinating and huge street festival was going on that we did not even know about. So many interesting booths and artists and street performers. It was very entertaining. We are now back at home in Tampa, a 2 hour drive from Ft. Myers, with many pleasant memories of our relaxing stay at Cracker Cow Cottages.

Fantastic Stay

We had the best time at Cracker Cow Cottage! The amenities were perfect for our stay and the bed was wonderful. We were able to walk downtown and it was centrally located from anywhere we had to drive to. Thanks, Cracker Cow! Hope to stay here again.
