The Owl's Nest is a beautiful setting and we enjoyed walking the property. The rooms were so comfortable and Gerda is absolutely delightful. She is a great cook and our breakfasts were out of this world. We attended the cooking class and it was one of our most enjoyable experiences ever! We highly recommend the inn and Gerda's cooking classes.

Don't Miss the Cooking by Elaine Owl's Nest Inn at Engadine My friends and I just had the most enjoyable experience at the Owl's Nest Inn Cooking Class led by Gerda,the owner and Top Chef. It started off with a toast to the class, and was filled with food prep techniques, delicious recipes, laughter, dancing ( yes, dancing) and ended with all of the class enjoying each other and the 5 course meal. Don't miss it! Gerda is a hoot!
