    Where do I start?! I think the pictures speak for themselves as to how gorgeous this venue is. When we were looking at venues in the fall of 2022, the minute we stepped foot into the Lakehouse at Owl’s Nest we knew it was our venue. Much has changed at Owl’s Nest over the last 20 months since we booked. Like other couples, this was exciting and also anxiety-provoking at times. The construction never seems to end with all of the additions to the property, but all of the changes just make ON an even more incredible destination. We loved the feeling of being at a resort for our wedding weekend and truly being at a destination, regardless of how far or close it was to home. We (and our guests) took full advantage of the restaurant, hot tub and pool, driving range, and the whole property itself. The golf course itself wasn’t open for our wedding since they don’t open it until May, but the driving range and simulators were more than enough for the golfers who came. The grounds are gorgeous (despite any ongoing construction). We have seen so many stunning photos of other couples and couldn’t wait for our turn! We were especially eager for gorgeous sunset photos. The weather and clouds didn’t necessarily work out for us, but that’s the risk anywhere. However, because we were at Owl’s Nest, we were able to still get out for additional photos as the sun was setting and they still turned out absolutely stunning thanks to the grounds and the views of the mountains! The lodging on site is great! A huge bonus for us was the ability to bring our dog to stay with us since they have pet friendly lodging options. My husband and I stayed in a deluxe nano unit, which had a full kitchen, a living room, a bedroom, bathroom, and lots of closets! Our dog especially appreciated the closed off deck so she could freely roam inside and outside of our house. Our friends and family stayed onsite in Gambrel, Contemporary, and Lakeside units, as well as the new hotel, and even some Air bnb rentals (right on the property)! Now last but not least for my ON review…HAYLEA was our coordinator and we LOVE her. Owl’s Nest assigns your coordinator about 6 months before your wedding date (and before that you work with the manager). From our first meeting with Haylea, every minor detail that we were stressed or nervous about was eagerly addressed by Haylea. She set up our venue from top to bottom exactly as I envisioned it, and assisted us through an insane amount of seating chart adjustments. She supported us through the planning process but was also SO helpful throughout our day, making sure we had everything we needed, making sure we ate and drank, keeping us on the timeline (and making adjustments as needed). We truly felt so at ease in her hands.

  • Amazing!

    We got married at Owl’s Nest Resort on 10/7/23 and it was truly a dream come true. Our wedding day turned out better than I could have ever imagined and I wish we could re live the day over and over again! The entire staff at Owl’s Nest went above and beyond to make us feel special on our wedding weekend and everything turned out perfect. The venue is stunning in and of itself and I truly feel that it’s the best place to get married. Our guests loved all the amenities on-site including activities, dining and lodging and how beautiful the LakeHouse was. After my original coordinator left, Gail took over and made sure everything was perfect for our day and it was! She was a pleasure to work with. I can’t stay enough good things about having a wedding at Owl’s Nest Resort.

    We could not have been happier with our decision to get married at Owl’s Nest. The entire staff is professional and will accommodate anyone’s needs. The facility itself is first class. Golf, tennis, pickleball, brand new onsite housing with more amenities to come. This is becoming one of the best resorts in all of New England. We were fortunate enough to get married at the new pavilion that is on top of hill. With weather on our side we were able to have the perfect ceremony overlooking the mountains behind us and the sunsetting in the background. You will not be disappointed choosing Owl’s Nest as your wedding destination. I can say with full confidence anyone who is lucky enough to have Gail Batstone as their wedding coordinator will have the best experience they could ask for. Gail went above and beyond for us on several occasions including accommodating last-minute changes to the wedding. Gail was quick to respond to emails, attentive and knew every little detail of our wedding.
