Owl's Nest/Wise Owl, Alton, NH

BroadHopper · 08-06-2012, 12:34 PM

I remember well, heated arguments between the govt and land owners about where the sewer lines were to be buried. There were some law written in the books that allow the govt jurisdiction over old RR right of ways even though the railroad gave up their rights and sold the land. One neighbor built a cabana and pool on the old right of way. Guess what, the govt dug up his pool and move the pool and cabana aside to put the sewage in. His lawyer told him not to bother sueing for damages.

If you had built on the old RR line, and the govt decides to extend the sewage line to Alton as originally intended, be prepared for the consequences.

A list was posted by WMUR readers yesterday (31 May 2013) listing the Wise Owl as #11 overall best breakfast place in New Hampshire (http://www.wmur.com/news/-/9858204/2...f/-/index.html). I believe it's the only one listed in the Lakes Region.

I've never heard of the Wise Owl before this, but I'll make a point to visit it, now.

How is the Owl doing so far this summer?

great place, a few weeks ago tried to go by boat, as the part of the family that used to own on SLeepers island said there were docks.
If there were, they are gone now.

If you had a putt putt you could pull it ashore on the sand that is at the bottom of the stairs, that is about it
was upset but what can you do, so then went to Ames Farm
they only have two - 1 boat slips for restaurant. both taken, ended up heading back towards the home berth and ended up in Meredith then headed back into the bay after Sunshine and Pa's
