The Owl's Nest Eco Cottage is part of a larger 2 acre property shaded by mature oak trees and wild, lush landscaping.

It features a modern, relaxed boho coastal style with influences from nature. The master bedroom features a large king size bed with silky, organic cotton 1800 thread-count sheets. There is also a brand new queen size sleeper sofa in the main room that can be made up for additional guests or children. We use only vegan & eco friendly cleaning products. Toiletries provided are cruelty free & animal friendly. All products in the kitchen are vegan. We are long time vegans and live next door. We can recommend some of the best vegan and vegetarian restaurants in town. The Owl's Nest Eco-Cottage is a great place for nature lovers! We have an abundance of wildlife for an urban area. This is in part due to our efforts to restore much of the property with native plants and trees. We also have butterfly gardens, rain gardens and a bioswale landscaped with ferns and native plants, that support a number of different species. We have an amazing diversity of songbirds and butterflies. The screened back porch is a great place to birdwatch or watch some of our butterflies. We also have a resident pair of Barred Owls that can often be seen or heard in the back acre. The have fledged a fluffy little owlet for the last two seasons, which can be a fun sight. We have seen foxes and otters in the back yard as well.
