Two other couples and ourselves had reservations at Cooper's Landing the last week end of September. One couple had paid no money, one couple had paid for one night and we had paid for two nights. However due to the death of a brother in law (of all of us)in NC none of us were able to go to Cooper's Landing. We canceled on Wednesday before the Friday and Saturday night reservations. The gentleman in charge was rude over the phone and declined to repay any of the pre-paid money. The home page at that time did not mention any refund policies. I would not recommend their hospitality.

You should not be so quick to judge - you don't know the
circumstances of the people on Cooper's Landing - the person
may have seemed rude, but what about you?

Cooper's Landing is very poorly run, if our experience is any indication. One couple was not ask to even send a deposit and the other two were told they had to pay one night ahead of time. When the two that paid ask for a refund (or even a partial refund) it was flatly refused and the man said just to collect from the ones who hadn't paid. What a poor way to do business!!! After this incident, we noticed they changed their site to say "No refunds." Would have been nice to know that before making our reservations.

I can tell you we were excited about staying on the river, biking the Katy Trail, and would have gone at a later date if we hadn't been treated so rudely. We will definately look for some place else to stay when we get to go.

Cooper's is what it is.....if you are looking for a B&B experience this probably isn't the place for you. We ride there to eat at the Thai Kitchen at least two or three times a year and always stop there for a break when we ride to Rocheport.

Coopers is a party spot. It is a laid back, who shows up shows up kind of place. The guy
who runs it is a heck of a nice guy, but it's no motel 6...and, if it was, it just wouldn't be as
much fun. Sorry you had a bad experience, but encourage you to stop by and visit
sometime...the thai food is fabulous, it is not unusual for some live bluegrass music to be
happening, and fine hospitality to be had.

The post stating "it is what it is" is so right. It's a little riverside place, not a big QT or B&B. I've never spent the night so I can't speak to that, but always make a point to stop for snacks when I bike past. If you don't put any big expectations on the place, you'll be fine, because....it is what it is. I've always found a cold drink, snacks (Fritos!)and have been treated well. This season we plan to try the thai restaurant.

Cooper's is a great, laid back place to sit, watch the lazy river, have a beer and listen to
good music. The bonfires and the food make it one of my favorite places in the
summertime.

I have spent the night in the "apartment" above the store and it was like staying at my
grandmother's house--complete with overstuffed couches and recliners. It's not a
Rocheport B&B and as sbikes said in March, it wouldn't be as great if it were anything
other than what it is.

i know cooper's landing is a good spot i was born and raised down by easley and mcbaine so was my mother and my grandfater used to own alot of fields there. so mabe some people might be rude but that's because of a bad day or somethin other then that everyone pretty much knows everyone and are very friendly. stop also at lucy's she's my aunt she's got good food and bar also.
