Virtually Perfect
What a charming location! The pictures were excellent but nothing can do justice to the warmth and efficiency and coziness of Owl's Nest. It's absolutley PERFECT for one or two people looking for a quiet retreat to read, write, enjoy nature, or just spend quality time. The hosts were very kind and responsive whenever necessary but stayed well out of the way.Some advice for those choosing this delightful abode!1 - Keep it simple - there isn't a lot of storage space so don't pack a ton!2 - Be willing to drive (Bellows Falls is GREAT!) or just chill; Alstead isn't full of lots of commerce ...which is why it's nice!3 - If you want to use the kitchen (and I did!) check ahead to be sure what they have. Since space IS at a premium evne tho the tiny oven and three burner stove and double wide sink were GREAT, and there were plenty of plates and other kitchen implements, there may not have been a couple things like a measuring cup or a strainer. But I enjoyed getting creative and made a great spiced paella kinda stew with spanish rice, pineapple chicken, garbanzos, and leftover mussel broth from my dinner out the previous night. It's fun being creative!
