STAY & PLAY OWL'S NEST
Stay & Play The Gateway to The White Mountains
THE OWL’S NEST RESORT, one of New England’s finest four-season resorts, is located at The Gateway to The White Mountains National Forest. The forest makes up 800,000 acres of some of the most majestic and scenic lands in America and is home to some of the most amazing four-season outdoor activities and dozens of small New England villages and towns making it one of the top tourist regions in the East. With close proximity to the White Mountains, easy access to Waterville Valley Resort, Loon Mountain and Cannon Mountain, The Owl’s Nest provides world-class winter sports, and many summer activities make it perfect for any season of the year.
Big Expansion Plans Underway
The Owl’s Nest is soon to become New England’s largest destination golf resort. Owl’s Nest Resort & Golf Club is developing a portion of their newly acquired 600-acre parcel geared toward all age groups. The new parcel on the site of a former quarry will feature a 10-acre lake, an activities center with aquatics, a boutique hotel with spa and a conference hotel. Amenities include 6 clay tennis courts, 2 paddle courts, a community barn, amphitheater, beaches and miles of cross country and recreation trails. The master plan connects amenities with connective cart paths to private homes and rental cabins.
While many hotels are fighting for survival, the Owl’s Nest Resort in Thornton is expanding to become the largest resort in New England. The multimillion-dollar expansion, which began two years ago, includes a recently completed excavation of a 10-acre lake (the largest man-made recreational lake approved in NH). The lake provides guests with boating, swimming and kayaking and there will also be a lake house that can host events for 500. Other outside activities include eight tennis courts (six clay and two grass) and four paddle courts with heated decks for winter play. And, on the docket for 2021, the resort will open eight pickleball courts, a new executive nine-hole golf course that goes around the lake (set to open in the fall), and a 10-mile paved loop for jogging, biking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. A year-round pool with Jacuzzis is under construction with a new food and beverage pavilion. The
pavilion will host concerts, and there are plans to build a 500-person amphitheater in the future.
The Owl’s Nest continues to be a very popular choice for destination weddings and corporate functions.
The Jack Nicklaus Golf Course
Jack Nicklaus, the most decorated major champion in golf history, has amassed a global golf course design portfolio that is among the world’s most prestigious.
The Owl’s Nest 18-hole championship course is the only Nicklaus designed course in New Hampshire. A Jack Nicklaus experience typically comes with a high premium and a green fee under $100 is rare. Recently, Jack’s course at the Owls Nest received accolades as one of the “Top Ten Best Value Nicklaus Golf Courses” in the world coming in at number #6 by Golf Pass. It is a magnificent layout with lots of elevation changes and fantastic hole designs. The real challenge here for golfers is focusing on their game while spectacular views abound in every direction. A new 9-hole golf course is being added in 2022.
