Peaceful property with a great view

My family and I LOVED our stay at the Owl's Nest. Its open floor plan with high ceilings and big windows made it feel spacious, homey, and restful. We loved sitting out on the deck and looking at the lake. The kitchen was well-stocked. The mattresses were super comfortable (including the bunk beds!). The rooms were lovely. There were plenty of linens and all the needed shower supplies were stocked. Stacy was a great host and we will definitely try to stay again next year. We never wanted to leave!

As expected

The house was as expected. We even added on an extra day to Sri e a little earlier and an accommodation was made. There was a small hiccup with the access code but it was immediately fixed.

Lovely Owls Nest

We so enjoyed our stay at the owls nest! Beautiful view, very clean and comfortable house. Plenty of room. There are 5 of us, but beds for more if you have more. Friendly easy to communicate with owner. The marina was very nice and located about 15 minute drive but really super easy to get to. We did have a challenge though, as other reviewers have said with the driveway situation. Thank goodness we only had to do it one time as we left boat and trailer at the marina starting the morning of our first full day. We arrived late in the evening with our long bed truck and boat and it was very difficult to get into the pull- through drive. There is plenty of parking in the back of the house as the listing states and you can pull through but because of the sharp turn needed to get out it’s really hard to do with any sort of trailer. If at all possible drop your boat before arriving to property. Also don’t miss the turn for the driveway or you’ll be backing that trailer a long way bc there is no turn around on the the street! Lol Loved this house and will most likely book again

Thank you for staying with us and we are glad that you enjoyed your stay! Your family was a pleasure to host and you are welcome back any time! We also appreciate your note about the difficulty with the boat trailer. There are very tight turns and steep ditches around the drive and can make it difficult for trailers. We do recommend dropping off any trailers before guests arrive and we will do a better job about ensuring this is more evident in the listing and welcome packet. We look forward to having you and your family back on your next trip!

Lovely deck

Lovingly cared for property with a sweeping view of the lake. The drive out to the end of the peninsula was picturesque and interesting. Home is thoughtfully decorated and supplied with the things that a family would enjoy. The large master bedroom, closet and bathroom was awkward for our group of 8 adults, but should be just the spot for parents needing a room of respite.

Amazing family getaway!

This was an amazing place for a quiet family getaway! We really enjoyed the board games that were provided and my husband loved having the guitar available! It was so nice to relax and take a break from the hustle and bustle in this adorable place. We spent our mornings drinking coffee on the patio. We could not get the fire pit table to work but the weather was nice so we didn’t really need it! I would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for staying with us Amy and you are welcome back anytime! We apologize for the firepit, but we have replaced all the necessary parts and should be working for your next stay. Glad to hear you were able to make use of the games and guitar. We've had a few bad weather days as well and love to have a few things around the house to make the indoor days just as enjoyable!

Amazing Lake House Getaway

We loved staying at the Owls Nest! The house was so clean and had everything we needed and more. The owners take great care in providing all you need. Even down to crockpot liners for the crockpot! The view of the lake is amazing. The only small downfall is how tight it is to get a boat in and out of the driveway. We will for sure be back!!

Thanks for staying with us Sara and glad to hear you had a good stay! Although there is plenty of room for cars in the driveway, we agree that parking the trailers at the house is not recommended. We have made sure to include this caution in our listing and advise future guests to inquire about trailer storage at the local marinas. We hope to see you back on your next trip to TRL!
