About Us
Our desire is that everyone who enters The Cozy Place feels warm and cared for the entire time they are here. We have practiced hospitality through food, drink, and teaching for many years.
​
The Cozy Place is a family-run business that utilizes each of our individual talents to provide you with a well-rounded approach to wellness. This includes not only your physical needs but spiritual and emotional as well. We are mindful of this with everything that we offer.
