Owl's Nest
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.

relaxing and enjoyable
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.

Loved our Pond time!
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!

Another Great Stay!
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!

Favorite Family Getaway
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.
