We stayed at the Owl's Head "Apartment-Hotel", which is not to be confused with the accommodations above the ski lodge.

The front desk staff were quite friendly, although we were surprised that one staff member was unaware that you can cross-country ski on the Owl's Head golf course (should one want to do that in addition to the great downhill skiing on offer).

Onto the accommodations: We were immediately impressed that our condo had a foyer (as opposed to our front door opening directly into the kitchen or living room, for example). However, this didn't quite offer the additional privacy that one would expect, as the foyer included another door that could access an adjoining condo; if we had rented two side-by-side condos, this door would have been a nice touch, but in our case all it did was diminish the sound isolation between rooms.

More important than that door, though, was the bedroom (an entirely separate room), which was spacious and clean, like the rest of the condo. Across the hall was the bathroom, which, like the bedroom, was straightforward in its layout.

The kitchenette, with bar counter, and lots of counter space in general, was perfect for us. All of the necessary cooking-and-eating gear was supplied, and was clean.

On the other side of the bar was the dining room. No frills, but nice enough.

Part of the open-concept kitchen and dining room was the living room. One of the chairs was in desperate need of reupholstering, but that was quickly forgotten about once we lit up the fully-stocked wood fireplace.

The only letdown was the hot tub, which was situated in the corner of a seemingly undesigned, tiled room in the basement. Zero ambience there, and judging by our burning eyes, a bit too much chlorine might have been added to the tub's water.

If you're looking for a ski-in/ski-out at Owl's Head, it's hard to imagine a better choice than the "Apartment-Hotel".

This is our 4th trip to Owl's Head in 6 years. We keep coming back because of the reasonable price, the ski instructions, the friendliness of the staff and the excellent skiing.

The apartment/hotel is basic accommodations, nothing fancy, but clean. The kitchen has the bare necessities. During the week, Owl's Head is empty, you will have the place to yourself. The weekends are busy. But even on a Saturday, you never have to wait on a lift line for long.

My children enjoy the lessons and the Thursday "races". The staff is very friendly and helpful.

The downside is teenagers could get bored. After skiing, there is not much to do and you are far away from any action. If you are bringing a teen, bring a friend and lots of stuff to do at night (we even bring our own VCR since there is none in the rooms).

First you will have to escuse my english, it is not my first langage !
We went to Owl's head during the 'ontario' march break (different from the Quebec one), we did not have a nice weather (it rained 3 days on 5)but noone could change it !!!
We rented a condo for 2, and it was really confortable and spacious (with a pull out bed in extra for guests). The kitchen was fully equiped (big fridge and oven), the cleaning service is changing the towels,garbage every day.
In every condo there is a 'real' wood cheminey and they provide you the wood.
The resort is direct on the tracks, and you do not have to take your car to access. Just go out and put your skies on, here you are.
The tracks are very well groomed. We never had to wait on the chair lifts.
The people are very nice, and in case somebody get sick, they reimbourse you the lift ticket for the day.
They have special packages for the sunday to friday really interesting . The ski lessons are at a really good price.
We are used to ski in Europe and we were really surprise of the good conditions we encounted.
We aready booked for next year. See you there !
