Summary: This was our second stay at Owl’s Nest this year. The house is always immaculately clean and the setting is extraordinarily beautiful. Irina and Vince could not be better. Oh and we are going back to Owl’s Nest next year.

Summary: This is a very special place that we hope to return to. The setting is spectacular allowing you to feel like you're out on the water even when you're sitting inside the house. Decks, kayaks, SUPs and swim float all made us not want to leave the property. It was also the best stocked house we ever stayed in and communication with the host was very easy. We highly recommend Owls Nest, you won't be disappointed! not want to leave the property.

Summary: My family looks forward to staying at the Owl’s Nest all year and it has become our summer tradition. The house is equipped with everything you need and the hosts always leave special welcome gifts for our daughter. Even with the thunderstorms we got, it is a cozy place to watch the rain go by. Thanks for another great year!

Summary: The Owl’s Nest is cozy with many thoughtful details by the owners that make us feel welcome. So many things to do and the owners provide just about everything. We kayak, swim, paddle, hike, fish, shop. On a rainy day, there are plenty of books and puzzles to choose from. The lake is spectacular and only a few steps away.

Summary: This is an absolutely beautiful property. Our family of 4 had a gorgeous week here. We’ve stayed in other places where the property description seemed “too good to be true” and it was…that’s not the case here! Everything is as wonderful (more wonderful, even!) as advertised. The owners have thoughtfully provided everything needed for a true escape. Stay all week and never leave, or explore the area, either way you can’t go wrong. Well-organized and thorough binder includes all the info you need. Irina even sent information ahead of time which was great, as we didn’t need to spend precious time when we arrived, tired after a day of traveling, figuring out what to do and where to eat. The swimming, boating, and hiking could not be beat. We had a great stay and there is really no way to go wrong as a guest here! Even the kitchen knives are sharp! :)

Summary: The best thing I can say about Owl's Nest is that we stayed there last year, again this year, and when we come back we will hope to stay there again. The house couldn't be better and the location is idyllic. And on top of that Irina is just the best.

Summary: It was relaxing very comfortable. clean my family also thought it's a beautiful place. The only thing i would suggest it putting in darker curtains in the bedroom downstairs, and there a bee hives in the tree out of the first-floor bedroom, halfway up its white face hornets very nasty. but other than that, it was a beautiful place we enjoy very much.
