About this place
Charming Cabin Retreat – Owl’s Nest @Friedenswald
Owl's Nest is a unique, family-friendly cabin nestled beside Pooh's Hideout. Fully insulated and heated, it stays cozy in winter and cool in summer (no A/C).
Inside, you'll find a handcrafted futon that converts into a full-size bed with storage. Relax indoors or unwind in the shared open-air pavilion.
Enjoy evenings by the firepit or cook on the gas grill. The shared full bathroom with a shower is just 50 yards away in the barn.
A peaceful place with rustic charm—perfect for nature lovers!

You'll have fresh coffee beans with a grinder and a French press for you morning brew.
Wander peaceful woodland trails, relax by the pond front dock, or unwind on a bench beneath a charming, covered bridge.
Enjoy cozy evenings around one of our fire pits, or fire up the gas grill for a cookout under the stars.
Book lovers will love the unique Silo Library—grab a book, sink into a comfy recliner, and let yourself get lost in a great read. Feel free to borrow a book and enjoy it back at your secluded cabin retreat.
For added convenience, we offer an on-site laundry room to keep you fresh during your stay.
