Restful and comfortable; great wildlife sightings!
This cabin was perfect for our family of 5 plus a dog! We loved it. Beds were very comfortable, house was well-maintained and stocked. I really loved that there was only one TV which was in the main family room. I always bring our own food and cook when we go on trips to get away. Kitchen was great; loved the picnic table positioned in the extended room facing the glass sliding door. We spotted a handsome fox in the yard while eating dinner. We enjoyed seeing deer and a moose strolling/grazing in the front yard area during our stay as well! Neighbors were quiet and didn't see them much, but it is a cluttered sort of area as you drive up the hill to the Owl Chalet. Once you're situated inside, it doesn't matter. The birch trees hadn't sprouted their leaves yet (mid-May) so I would think that those provide a much more private/hidden away feel in the summer. Plenty of nice trails close by and other cute towns. Great communication with the owner. We appreciate owners like this one!

Owl Chalet
It was the perfect home for our family. All the positive feed backs on the house was on point. There’s not a negative thing about it. It was clean and beautiful! It was cosy and inviting. After a long day of skiing, we cold hide away and cook or we could go across the street for pizzas and drinks. The locals were super friendly and nice. There are also many other restaurants, breweries/distilleries and grocery store only 8 minutes away. Clara, thank you for hosting us! You get 5 stars alone!

Perfect Stay
This home was perfect for our week long stay during thanksgiving break! Great cookware, utensils, washer, dryer, beds and bedding. Plenty of space for everyone to move around and have privacy. As others have mentioned, it’s unique and has tons of little quirky details we found interesting. We traveled with our dogs and the small fenced in backyard was perfect for potty and play time. The neighbors have dogs and we’re super friendly. There are a few neighbors around, however the homes are far enough apart it still felt private. The location was perfect for us. It’s close to hiking, skiing, coffee shop, book store, small grocery store and necessities shops. It’s about 45 minutes to Boulder with a beautiful drive along the way. If I had to give any advice for someone looking to stay, there are stairs to get to all the bedrooms. The parking area is not attached to the home and is up on top a small hill. To get to the front door you must go down a few stairs. So maybe not ideal for someone who needs walking assistance with a walker or wheelchair. One shower upstairs and a small bathtub/shower downstairs. We did need additional towels, so we had to wash them frequently. We were able to all pile up and watch movies in the living room. There’s also a lounge area near the kitchen you can visit with everyone while cooking. The owner was amazing and had great communication. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We will be staying here again!!!!

The owl chalet is absolute gem and delight to stay in! It is such the most perfect and wonderful mix of modern comfort in a beautiful cabin, which is exactly what we were hoping to find in our trip. Incredibly well put together, organized, and designed so lovely! Not to mention we found beautiful lighting in the fall. Thank you to our host for being responsive and maintaining a beautiful place for us to enjoy!
