Hike, Ski & Explore! ‘Owl’s Nest’ Gold Bar Cabin

Amazing get away weekend! We celebrated our mom’s 92th birthday, it was the perfect house for her, easy access, bedroom/bath downstairs, fireplace flickering and all the mountain cabin memorabilia made us feel right at home. We shopped at Pike Street market before heading to the mountains. Richard’s kitchen was a fun place for all of us to create some fabulous meals. The hot tub and back yard made the trip. The bonus was a 10 minute stroll through the fern Forrest down to the river. The trail starts at the end of the driveway! Thanks for making our stay so special!

Very clean, quiet and well equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our Thanksgiving away!

We had a great stay

We loved the nostalgic cabin vibe! The animal art, nature photography, and hunting/fishing memorabilia really make this place feel special. It’s incredibly cozy, quaint, and relaxing. The decor is in point, and the amenities very convenient. We loved relaxing in the hottub after a long day. The cozy fireplace with twinkling lights added ambience, the warmly lit lamps around the cabin and decor made it feel like grandpas cabin. We really felt cared for and welcomed by Brenda! She left us an anniversary card and homemade delicious lavender shortbread cookies, and also brought a puzzle over for our son to play with. You can really tell there’s a lot of love and care that go into this place and you feel right at home.

The house was beautiful, it everything we needed (well almost we couldn't find scissors). Oh WOW all the decorations, the two days we were there we saw new stuff. The hot tub was just what we needed after our long truck there. Down stairs bedroom bed was comfy. We were able to make the hike down to the water. It was a little pokey (all the vines and ferns oh and low branches, hahah) but it was a fun and worth while hike. Thank you

Overall the stay was great. The hot tub is well kept and very clean. The house is adorable and very lovely. Not the best looking neighborhood. More people than I expected, but a pretty quiet neighborhood.

Everything was as described and host was very communicative and flexible with questions. Really enjoyed the upstairs entertainment room. Thank you for having the AC on for us on day 1!

We really enjoyed our stayed in the Cabin. So cozy and we love all the decorations! We had all we need. The house was very clean and also the hot tub that we enjoyed almost every night!

Great retreat into the woods. Hot tub with umbrella (if you don't want to get sprinkled on), gazebo with fire pit and lights (was a lovely way to be outside at night with the rain). House was fully appointed and easy to find things. Full handbook from the owner complete with hiking recommendations. Great communication before, during, and after with the owner!

Wife and sister loved hot tub. Pictures online are exactly what we saw. Quiet neighborhood, slept well as beds were comfortable. First stay of this type for us as we were attending a wedding in the area. As others noted neighbor has messy property but we never saw them or heard them. Most houses are well kept. If I have a reason to go back I would stay again. Owner made sure I knew what I needed and was easy to contact. Overall good first home rental. Everyone seemed pleased with the place.

We loved everything about the Owls Nest! Great location and views. Super cozy and plenty of space for everyone. Who doesn’t want to sit in a hot tub and stare at mountains?!!? All the basics you need are provided, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, oils and spices and more! My only advice would be to grab groceries before you hit town as the local grocery store is very expensive. We would love to return soon! Richard was a great and communicative host.
