Cracker Cow Cottages consist of charming cottages situated in the river district of downtown Ft. Myers, Florida.

There the cattle were loaded onto ships for Cuba. Our cottages seamlessly blend modern amenities with a nod to the rich history of old Florida and allowing you a location to walk to city!
