Welcome to Sage House

Tucked among the pines in Lakemont Pines, Sage House is a thoughtfully designed mountain retreat that blends cozy cabin warmth with elevated, design-forward details. Backing up to national forest with trail access and just a short walk to Tanner Lake, this peaceful getaway is designed for slow mornings, outdoor adventures, and evenings gathered on the porch under the trees.

The home comfortably sleeps 8 guests across three bedrooms, with additional flexiblesleeping options for kids or larger families.

Please note: Occupancy is limited to a maximum of 8 guests. Any violation of this policy will result in a fine.

The reservation includes up to 6 guests. Any additional guests beyond 6 will be charged $40 per guest.

Inside the Home

Step inside to vaulted wood ceilings, skylights, and warm layered textures that make the space feel both elevated and inviting. Large windows pour natural light through the open-concept living area, where the kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow easily into one another while still feeling warm and intimate.

The fully stocked kitchen is ready for cooking and gathering, with coffee options for both drip and pod lovers and a small walk-in pantry for longer stays. The indoor dining table comfortably seats 8, with additional nearby seating to accommodate 10. Outside, the covered porch dining area seats 6 and overlooks the trees.

Sage House also offers several cozy spaces to spread out and recharge. Take a work call from the sunny laundry room workspace overlooking the trees, head down to the partially finished game lounge while others sleep upstairs, enjoy coffee on the covered porch, or slip outside to the yard and surrounding pines for a quieter moment. The layout works especially well for families and groups who want to spend time together without feeling crowded.

    We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! The space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. It had everything we needed for a comfortable trip, and the setting was peaceful—perfect for relaxing and unplugging. We really enjoyed spending time on the deck taking in the scenery.The host was great to work with—responsive, helpful, and made check-in/check-out easy. Overall, this cabin was the perfect getaway and we’d absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

    What an amazing stay. The property was exactly as described and incredibly private/quiet. The kids loved having the game room and all the board games available to them. The home was cozy and beautiful. We couldn’t have found a better place to stay! This will likely be our go-to rental for Arnold.

    We had a great stay at the Owl's nest. The accommodations were immaculate, pet friendly and the hot tub was always hot! It didn't hurt that we love birds and actually heard owls on our first night! My grandson loved the fort and swing. We can't wait to return and try out a different season.

    Great spot only minutes from the private lake that was clean and had a bunch of equipment and beach toys for the kids, including kayaks and paddle boards. No complaints.

    We really enjoyed our short stay at Owl’s Nest. It was the perfect getaway and the fully fenced yard and deck were perfect for us and our dog.

    This was our favorite stay in a cabin yet! It was so spacious yet cozy. We loved how the kitchen was open to the living/dining space…the mud room/laundry room was beautiful and the backyard space being fenced in allowed our grandbabies to freely explore and we could see/hear them from the kitchen! The beds were really comfortable and everyone got a kick out of the bidet! Our whole family loved the rope swing! The hot tub may have been my favorite part! We would love to come back in the summer months and be able to enjoy the lake! Thank you Amy for everything, we loved our family time at the Owl’s Nest! P.S. the kitchen was fully stocked and we loved how all the cupboards were labeled.
