I had a pleasant stay for four nights in Owl's Nest. I was up in the area to ski at Wisp. The "back way" to and from the resort made the drive only about 10 minutes or so. The cabin is stocked with everything that one could possibly need. The hot tub was great!

The host was welcoming and quick to respond by text to any questions. The amenities were outstanding including a s'mores packet and coffee bar. The location on the lake can't be beat. The quality of the cookware and utensils is remarkable, heads and shoulders above other vacation rentals. The beds were so comfortable we drifted off to sleep in no time. Its an older cabin with plenty of supplemental heat sources to ward off any chills.

The cabin was very comfortable (comfortable bed and fluffy towels), very clean and even dcorated for Christmas. I cooked Christmas day and found everything I needed in the well-stocked kitchen.
