Monkey Business gets its name from the whimsical topiary monkeys hanging from the trees, just one of the many charming and playful details that make this place unforgettable.
Wake up to the serene sounds of nature and step out onto your private dock overlooking beautiful Cowpen Lake, a private lake, ensuring peace, privacy, and plenty of space to roam and play. Bring your own boat and take advantage of the boat lift at the dock, or enjoy our inclusive fleet of lake toys: a floating pad, stand-up paddleboard, pedal boat, kayak, canoe, beach floats, and toys - everything you need for an amazing day on the water.
Spend your evenings unwinding in the private hot tub or enjoying a peaceful sunset from the dock. After a full day of swimming, paddling, or fishing, rinse off in the outdoor shower and gather with loved ones on the porch or around the spacious living area.
Inside, you'll find two cozy queen beds, one full bed, and an air mattress with ample space to set it up in the living room. Central heating and air conditioning ensure year-round comfort, and both bathrooms are fully stocked with essentials (including hair dryers). Cook up something delicious in the fully equipped kitchen or wind down with games and conversation in the open living space.
