Renovated in 2007, this inn was founded in 1962 by John Lech, on the farm once owned by Ken Brock, acquired in 1944.  The Owl's Nest was something of a meeting place for the Polish community from the 1950's.  The grounds were used for soccer, softball, volleyball and swimming.  In 1974, Czeslaw Stogowski bought the place.  The Owl's Nest became a popular bar, sometimes frequented by Mordecai Richler, who famously patterned fictional characters after some of the real ones he had met there, notably “Sweetpea” George!
