So relaxing

This is not our first stay, and it won't be the last. The Owl House is a beautiful, quiet location. Secluded enough for privacy, close enough to the owner (and good neighbors) for security.

Peaceful retreat

The Owl House was a perfect little retreat for my friend and I who were in town for our high school reunion. After fun, but long, hours of socializing, it was so nice to pull into the driveway and slip into the quiet of the country setting. The house was spacious, clean and well appointed, exactly as described.

Just what we needed.

We needed a place to unwind and regroup. The Owl House was a perfect place to do that. We liked it so much, we booked two more long weekends while we were still there.

Wonderful stay at the Owl House

Our host Lynne was wonderful. The Owl House was super clean & a real hoot to stay in. Our family loved the thoughtful decor and the relaxed setting with so much nature around. It was so nice to have coffee on the front porch in the morning while watching the hummingbirds come and go. We would definitely stay again. Thanks Lynne!

Home away from home

This house was amazing like she knew everything we needed was in this home. The wild life and humming birds were nice to watch relaxing on the back deck. Trail around the lake was wonderful, 20 min away. Ideal going to Gettysburg or Hershey ,right in the middle. Thank You for giving us a beautiful place to spend family quality time together.

Best choice for a getaway

The Owl House is beyond comfortable and exactly as it appears in the photos. Lynne was a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we need, even bringing over some fresh picked daffodils, bird food and extra firewood. Great place to relax and reconnect with family and friends! THE BEST!!

Rest and Relax

Visiting family for weekend. House is wonderful. Friends and family came over and we sat on deck, watched hummingbirds feeding, young deer, young bear ran through side yard. Very clean. Many extras for guests we don’t usually find in VRBO rentals. Unique fun decor. Will stay here again.

Beautiful House in a Beautiful Place

The most beautiful house I've ever stayed. Can't wait to visit again in the spring/summer I don't want to talk it up too much, because I still need to book a few more dates....but I'll be honest: It's amazing, if you love nature, peace, and quiet.

Private oasis

Secluded comfortable cottage in a safe rural neighborhood. Beautiful views from nice rear deck. Great for bird watching! Unique, fun and quirky owl motif throughout the cottage. Only complaint was trails were not maintained/mowed and therefore could not take advantage of what would have been a nice walk around the property.

Family Birthday Trip

We were visiting the area for my brother-in-laws 50th birthday. There are very few options for lodging in this area, so this adorable little house was a pleasant surprise. Very close to where we needed to be, but secluded from just about everything else. Our flights from California were a mess, this cute little house was very inviting and comfortable. We couldn't wait to take a nap! The hummingbirds, lightening bugs & nature were beautiful. We would definitely visit again and recommend it to everyone!

Peace and quiet

Was in town for a Carlisle Event Weekend and very happy we stayed here as opposed to a hotel. House is super cute, very clean and has a beautiful setting. Very quiet with only sounds of nature. Great place to unwind after long days at the fairground. Enjoyed early mornings on the back porch looking at the scenery and the wild birds feeding their babies. Recommended if your planning to stay in the area.

Great getaway spot

Very clean, very cute and very peaceful! Beautiful view off the comfortable back porch. We also enjoyed the fire pit and the ping pong table. There are two mini fridges, so not a lot of fridge or freezer space so plan accordingly if bringing food. Great house and would stay there again.

The Owl’s Nest is the Best

This rental property is probably the one of the nicest places in which we have ever stayed. The Owl’s Nest is a charming little house that had everything we needed and more. The artistic, creative, and thoughtful little touches make it truly unique. Located in a serene open field it is the perfect habitat for wildlife such as deer, rabbits, turtles, and almost every type of bird from eagles to hummingbirds which we saw on a daily basis during our week long vacation. I would highly recommend the Nest to anyone who loves nature and is looking for a peaceful stay. Hosts Lynne and Mike are wonderfully accommodating.

Exceeded *owl* our expectations

Host is attentive and replies promptly, gave a recommendation for a local small retailer with delicious baked goods, produce, and jarred items. House was clean, beautifully decorated, and way more space than needed for the two of us. The many windows and high ceilings made it bright and allowed us to see an incredible number of birds. Well stocked with any item one could possible need during their stay. Had a wonderful quiet weekend enjoying some overdue quality time with my best friend of 20+ years.
