About this property

Owls Nest - Central Heat & Fireplace!

  • Welcome to Owl's Nest, where you'll discover a classically remodeled, upscale cabin with a massive wall of windows that brings expansive views of the surrounding forest. With central heat and a cozy wood stove, you'll be warm all winter long! Enjoy streaming (guests log in with their own accounts) with the grand 75-inch tv, making it easy to stay cozy and entertained on those long winter nights! Or try relaxing while listening to records on the Vinyl Record Player. The large deck is perfect for enjoying the outdoors during the summer with a BBQ and gas fire pit for the whole family to enjoy. We want your family to have the perfect stay here, so we provided a pack-and-play and books, as well as a high chair.

    The large kitchen has everything you'll need for your stay, including a Keurig coffee maker and wine fridge. You'll appreciate the wet bar, located in the dining area - perfect for entertaining! The dining table can comfortably seat 8, with a breakfast bar accommodating 2 more. We also have air-conditioning to keep you cool on hot summer days and central heat with a Nest Thermostat - in addition to the wood stove - to keep you warm on the chilly winter nights. Power outages? No problem with the whole house generator, which automatically switches on when power goes out!

    Sleeping accommodations include a king-sized bed in the primary suite upstairs (along with a twin ottoman hide-away for children), and two bedrooms downstairs with queen beds in both bedrooms. Additionally, the loft serves as a game room with a reading nook, TV and gaming table, as well as additional sleeping space, with a trundle bed (2 twins) and a queen sleeper sofa.

    Bathrooms include shampoo, conditioner and body wash.

    If you need to get some work done while you're here, we have a desk and high-speed internet to keep you connected and productive. Easy access from Hwy 4, near golf course and country club. It's a short 4 minute walk from the golf course restaurant and Sequoia Woods Country Club, and a short drive to Blue Lake Springs Recreation center (guest fees apply to use of BLS Rec Center). We offer guest use of the garage, as well. The Owl's nest is something to hoot about!

This is a beautiful property with plenty of space for my family of eight. Very comfortable and well appointed! No issues with WiFi or television service. One small complaint though is the listing does not disclose that the pool and lake facility are only available to guests with a daily use fee, which for my family was 100. We have three kids under 5 and with nap and lunch schedules, we’re not able to enjoy the full day, making this some expensive pool time. I’m told this is a common complaint so want to be sure and share this feedback

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very clean, easy to find, spacious out door area, master bedroom great size with good size bathroom. Up stairs loft area had 2 beds and a small couch set up for kids which was nice. Down stairs bed rooms comfortable. Living space was an open concept which made it nice for cooking, dinning area and living room conversations. 2.5 bathrooms made it very convent for 10 people. Highly recommend!
