Owl's Nest is a perfect getaway in the woods with lakes nearby. Pet friendly!
Owl's Nest is located in the Crab Orchard Wildlife Refuge. With a large open living space this perfect for family and friends! Just blocks away is a boat ramp for Devil's Kitchen Lake. Great fishing, hunting, hiking and kayaking are all minutes away! I can't forget to mention the wonderful wineries that are within 10 minutes.
No need to leave your best friend at home, furry friends are always welcome! We have a huge backyard for them to enjoy.
Black out curtains in the three bedrooms are perfect for sleeping in. The trundle bed in the living room with its twin bed on top and a second twin that pulls out is great for kids.
A short 15 minute drive will get you to Carbondale or Marion for all you shopping needs. A variety of restaurants are located in both towns.
We enjoyed our stay at the Owl's nest. Clean, comfortable three bedroom/one bath house with a fenced in yard for our dog. The house was very well stocked with everything you would need, and extras. Laura was very responsive to our emails and there wasn't a lot of noise with 4th of July fireworks. We went into Carbondale, Makanda and Ava, all within 30 minutes away, and found hikes only 5 minutes away.
It was a pleasant experience because the place is clean, comfortable, accessible, and has everything necessary for the stay. We loved it. We would definitely return to this beautiful cabin.
My husband ran a half marathon i. Giant City State Park. Being a holiday weekend we were very lucky to find a place to stay. The house is on a dead end road so there was very little traffic and it was nice and quiet.
Our outdoor plans were washed away by the remnants of Beryl, but the skies cleared our last day there, and Laura not only suggested a short hike nearby, but also allowed us to stay a few hours past check out. The home itself is charming and slightly rustic, with plenty of games and activities for when Mother Nature doesnât cooperate with your plans.
We hope to return to the Shawnee again, and will likely seek out the Owlâs Nest again.
Thanks, Laura!
