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.

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! :)

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.

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.

It was definitely all we needed that week! The water was warm and we swam numerous times each day, even one evening! We explored in the kayaks, friends came and caught fish off the dock, found the passage over to Pemiquid Pond kayaking, read 2 books and even found creative time to paint & sketch! Thank you, Irina & Vincent for sharing your wonderful spot! We will most definitely be back!

Our second year in a row at this beautiful house. We spent many hours boating, paddleboarding and swimming in the lake. The house had everything we needed - well stocked kitchen, books, games and cozy blankets for chilly evenings. We are already dreaming about our visit next year!

My little family was very happy to return to the Owl’s Nest for another restful week. The house is always in great condition and is comfortable and well equipped for everything we need. We lucked out with weather and spent most of our time swimming just off the rocks and taking turns on the kayaks and paddle boards. We can’t wait to return again sometime soon.

This was our second stay at Owl's Nest, a beautiful setting on a lake perfect for kayaking, swimming and fishing. The house is extremely comfortable, private, and had everything we could possibly need. It is close to many attractions but very tempting just to stay and relax. Thank you Irina and Vincent for all the extra little touches and making us feel so welcome!
