About this property
The Speckled Owl Cabin
There is great wisdom in getting away and it's about time! "SPECKLED OWL" got its name from just that A SPECKLED OWL. She has visited many times to the cabin and we hope that she visits during each stay. The cabin is a peaceful quaint place with stunning views. Do not miss the sunrise as it surely does not disappoint. Enjoy the mountain views from the hot tub or gaze at the stars at night time as you relax.

Lovely getaway
This location was fantastic, close to the main road, but very private. Great spot to recharge.

We loved our stay!
We've been visiting Lydia Mountain for over 15 years, and this cabin is easily one of our favorites! It truly has it all—an ideal location, perfect privacy, and a fun, spacious layout that's great for relaxing, watching movies, reading, and spending quality time together.
While it wasn’t quite as fully stocked as some of the other cabins we’ve stayed in, it had all the essentials we needed—and that might just be because it’s one of the newer ones. The hot tub, with its incredible view, was a definite highlight.
It is also close to antique shops, restaurants and a ton of wineries.
We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be returning to this cabin again!

A break from the world
Great location, hiking trails nearby, amazing view, quiet area with a private driveway. Pots and pans a bit worn out. Would definitely stay here again.

Very relaxing
Place was better than I thought it was going to be. It is close while being far away. Short hike to the main lodge, beautiful view every morning with the deck facing east. Place was very clean and kept well. The couchs and bed are not the most comfortable things I have spent the night on but the rest makes up for it... The staff while very nice are tough to get information from on where to go and what to see almost like they are hiding the good stuff. All and all great experience and will visit again.

Best Fall Trip
The entire weekend was absolutely great. A little issue pulling in, but we were helped and greeted immediately. The entire place was spotless, and had the most breathtaking balcony view. My fiance and I are already planning to stay again next year. Thank you so much for providing us a space to really connect with each other.

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE
Oh my goodness, to say this cabin is perfect is an understatement! The road really gets you in the middle of your own private sanctuary. The views, the hot tub, the entertaining space. It was a dream! We will definitely be coming back and requesting to stay at this cabin!
