Owl’s Nest Resort

What Owl’s Nest Resort does

Owl's Nest Resort is a privately held, year-round luxury destination resort located in Thornton, New Hampshire, in the White Mountains region. Founded in 2017 and operating with 51-100 employees, the resort offers a diversified portfolio spanning lodging (Gambrel homes, Nano Deluxe and Cottage units, Lafayette Lodge, and Lakeside Villas), four on-site dining venues (Panorama Six82, Slice Pizzeria & Sports Bar, Butch's Brooklyn Deli, and Pemi Burger Bar in Ashland), an 18-hole Vineyard Course with golf simulators, a Racquet Complex featuring tennis, platform tennis, and pickleball, the WellNest Spa & Rejuvenation Center, and four wedding and event venues (Sunset Pavilion, Lakehouse, Boathouse, and The Vault) overlooking Lake Harold. The property also extends into residential real estate through the WaterscapesNH 'Live at Owl's Nest' brand.

The company serves leisure travelers, golf enthusiasts, wedding parties, racquet sports participants, and corporate group events as a direct-to-consumer destination resort, with bookings processed through its website, phone reservations, and third-party platforms (Agilysys booking engine, Eventbrite for events, Playbypoint for racquet programs, ShopMyShop for merchandise). Revenue is generated across lodging accommodations, on-site dining transactions, golf and recreation bookings, quote-based wedding and event venue rentals, and spa services. Pricing is largely unit-based and varies by accommodation type, season, and venue; wedding and corporate event pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

In 2026, Owl's Nest elevated its profile by hosting the first professional tennis tournament in New Hampshire since 1984 (UTR Pro Tennis Tournament, $40,000 prize purse, May 4-10) on its Italian red clay courts, with Amazon Prime streaming the event. The resort also launched annual event programming including the Owl Americana Fourth of July Celebration. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors, operating as an independent family hospitality business. Its technology stack relies on third-party booking, ticketing, and e-commerce platforms rather than proprietary software, and it maintains no app or API surface.
