Staying here was an absolute delight! This was the perfect location for a relaxing girls trip. My friends and I kept mentioning throughout our stay how cute it was, and how we appreciated the nice little touches throughout the place. It was clear so much thought and care went into preparing this space for guests. The view was lovely, and everything was so clean and cozy. We would absolutely recommend The Nest for families, couples, or small groups of friends like us looking for a chill and relaxing getaway with a cozy lakeside atmosphere. We hope to come back again sometime! Thank you again to the lovely hosts Monica and Joelle, who were wonderful with setting us up with everything we needed.
