Make sure you read your confirmation email— it has instructions for the electronic key to your room. Also download a map of the property. Lakeside room was light bright and clean, but surrounding area is under construction and the lake is more like a puddle. Nice shared balcony with table. Could hear noisy hot tub for most of the evening. We didn’t come for golf or resort which is why most people would come here. Bring your own dairy for your coffee.

Confusing campus on puddle lake

My Fiancé and I made an appointment to visit the resort with both of our mothers yesterday. We waited 15 minutes after our appointment time to view the wedding venues that the Owls Nest has to offer. We met Amy who we thought was going to give us a tour of the resort and all that it had to offer in the event that we chose the resort to host our wedding. From the minute we first interacted with Amy, she was uninviting and was quite rude to us. Amy acted as if we were bothersome for wanting a tour of the venue. Amy provided us with barely any detail and basically just opened the door to the venue and seemed less than pleased to show us what the resort had to offer. We had to ask to see the second venue (lake house). Amy seemed reluctant to bring us there and continued to act as if it was a bother to do so. Getting married is supposed to be an exciting time in our lives, and the staff at the Owls Nest made our experience less than pleasant. While viewing the boat house, a woman came into the venue and Amy began to talk to her instead of us. Amy later told us that the woman was the sister of the owner and that he “gives her a paycheck” and because of that she needed to be nice to her. I felt that this was very unprofessional of her to make such a comment. I was extremely disappointed with this experience and unfortunately would not recommend this venue. All that we expected was to be greeted with enthusiasm and to be shown the property as booking this venue would have cost a significant amount of money.

Very disappointed

We rented a deluxe nano in order to have a full kitchen.  The whole experience was not accomodating, very unorganized and disappointing.  So many issues and poor service. They only time we received inforamtion was for things they wanted and expected to be completed.  Do dishes, take out garbage and lock the door. No one asked or followed up with "how was your stay" - Did you enjoy our facility / resort? 
Nothing -- We had 1 beer mug in the kitchen, limited towels for 3 nights 4days, stove did not work -- they tried to fix it and blew out the whole house / electrically. 
they did fix it -- but no concern for our time and stay. 
No cable instructions?  no working hot tub (was told at reseration time that it would be working!!). No directions for check in -- door had a sign "Employees only?" The lock did not work.  The hot water did not get hot - at all!  
Sad visit and disappointing stay at this resort.  
We also x-country skiied the golf course and it was icey and not safe. 
We expected top notch accomdations, good customer service and a strong welcome -- did not happen.  Sorry to say.

Owls Nest Review - Winter season

Stayed for a wedding June 2022.  Reserved and stayed in a Lakeside property.  Beautiful golf course and clubhouse.  Views are gorgeous. 
A lot of construction, which we were aware of prior to our visit. Also a bit pricey.  
A few things to be aware of before you get to the property and are staying lakeside.  
There is no elevator in these buildings. We were not aware that we would be on the second floor and had to carry some heavy luggage upstairs.  
Stop before you get there and pick up ice and Kleenex.  There is no ice bucket in the room so you may also want to bring a cooler.  It’s a little bit of a drive to get snacks and drinks for the room.  Fireplace doesn’t work (yet).  
Bring a sleep mask if you are on the top floors or you will be awakened around 5am by the sun coming through the large windows above the sliding glass doors.  Also, the whites shades on all other windows are only for privacy-not room darkening.  Watch out when opening the  wardrobe door since it extends to the floor and could take your toes off.  
TV is Roku only.  
You will be sharing your deck with your next door neighbor, but we didn’t have a problem with that, very nice people. 
Ceiling fan w/ remote - not working.  
AC unit with remote- we figured that out on our last day, but needed to learn a bit sooner with the sun coming in. 
Restaurant is very good.  The bar is filled with golfers that have finished for the day.  If you’re like us and like to enjoy a cocktail and conversation at the bar before or after dinner…this small bar area is very loud and not very “tidy”. 
In a couple of years this will be a beautiful property.  Right now, there’s a lot of dirt. Lol.  As for what’s there now, they just need to iron out the kinks.  
Beds & pillows -comfy
Shower-great
Overall room-very nice 
Lots of storage for snacks
Has fridge, small coffee maker, coffee w/packets with sugar etc, microwave, plastic cups

Wedding Stay Lakeside

We booked our room for a wedding, but nobody told us the room is in an unfinished building. It smells like crap and it’s literally located inside a construction site. The workers started banging on the wall at 6 am. We couldn’t sleep at all.

It’s funny they didn’t let us know about this until we arrived, so we couldn’t cancel the reservation and book another place. The whole experience is absolute terrible.

I suggest everyone avoid this place when planning their weddings, unless you want your guests sleep inside a construction site.

Stay Away From This Place

The golf course was beautiful.  Great views, fairways and greens in great condition.  The staff in the pro shop were very helpful and friendly.  Had a great conversation with two members and the starter on the 1st tee.

The one bedroom cottage we stayed in was quite comfortable.  The view from the deck will be better once the construction of the executive golf course and tennis facility is complete.  Also had dinner at the on site restaurant.  The food was great and the sunset even better.

They have an activity center where the pool, hot tub and gym are located.  The hot tub was not working while we were there.

Will definitely stay and play here again.  Perfect location between Lincoln and Plymouth.  Also recommend Mad River Coffee a couple of miles away.

Beautiful Golf Course & Great 1 Bed Cottage

The golf course is amazing, the staff is great and super friendly, and the food is fantastic. Overall 10/10 I love this place. Great views, people, food, golf, staff. Plenty of wildlife to see on the course too.

Great Experience, friendly staff

Stopped by for dinner on the way north.  Sat on the deck at sunset and took in the air and the view - wonderful.

The vegetarian dinner was delicious, especially the Brussel spouts in maple syrup.  Service was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxed.

This was off season; presuming in season you will need a reservation.

An amazing dinner experience

I have such mixed thoughts about Owl's Nest.  I had a hard time knowing what to expect, as I have never stayed at a "resort" that has houses instead of hotel rooms. My husband and I were looking for a few nights away near Lincoln, and Owl's Nest seemed like a great option!  Like many others, I felt that check in was not clear.  Besides the sign on the main road, there was very little signage, especially about checking in.  I'd highly suggest you ask for a PDF version of a map prior to arriving so you can figure out to make it to the "Sports Nest" which is on the other side of the parking lot of the restaurant, "Panorama Six82".  Again, there aren’t any signs that say check in and it's important to know that (at least in September) you need to check in by 7pm in order to speak to a real person.  We stayed in nano unit 54.  The nano unit was perfect for 2 people (I wouldn’t do anymore).  It has a little living room with a love seat, coffee table, mini kitchen (sink, mini fridge, coffee maker and microwave) and gas fire place with tv.  The bathroom was a good size (one sink and stand up shower) and the bedroom had a king sized bed and closet.  Both rooms had high ceilings.  There was also a small closet with extra towels and a shovel.  Off the living room was a small porch with a bench.  It was clean, felt very modern and had a cozy feel!  3 nano units are together and share a gas fit pit with ~6 chairs.  I found the $75 housekeeping fee a bit odd, given that you, as the guest, are expected to wash dishes and take out trash and recycling before checking out.  

Things I think that could be improved:
There was no hand soap in either the kitchen nor bathroom.  Very strange.  
Also in the bathroom there was a mini body wash, lotion and conditioner but not shampoo (again just weird).
The living room wasn’t very comfortable.  There was a hard loveseat, and that’s it for seating.  We would have loved an ottoman, or even a small table and chairs to eat.
We didn’t end up using the deck due to what we felt was unusable seating (just a bench).  A few chairs and a table would be amazing.  Additionally, there is a lot of construction going on, so we didn’t really want to be looking at dirt and construction vehicles.

Speaking of construction, there is A LOT going on!  They have plans (I believe over the next 3 years) to create a man-made lake, lots of courts (tennis, pickleball) a hotel, a wedding venue, etc.  We did check out the activity center (small gym and pool) and felt it was a disappointment and not what we would expect at a "resort".   We ate at the restaurant, Panorama Six82, twice and were very happy both times.  We sat outside and the views were beautiful.  One night they had live music which we enjoyed, and both nights the food was very good.  They also had a happy hour from 3-7pm Sunday - Thursday and offered some great deals!  I would highly recommend the restaurant. We ended up driving the 20 minutes to Lincoln for most other meals and it was an easy drive on 93.  I should finally add we did not play golf, which I am assuming is a huge draw for staying here.  Overall, I would not come back again until all the construction is finished but it would be fun at that time to check out all the improvements.

Decent stay, looking forward to their improvements

We stayed at Owl's Nest Resort for a few days in one of the Gambrel homes.  It was awesome!! Clean, modern, new, airy, spacious, comfortable... it was everything we could have hoped for.  It really made our vacation so much nicer and more pleasant.  It was our first time staying in a home rather than a hotel and the difference is unbelievable.  Nothing like coming back after a day of hiking to your "own" home.  Kids loved every minute of our stay there (my six-year old wants to move into this house!).  I would definitely recommend this place to everyone!
