Was a beautiful quiet spot access to Lake Stella to go in the water was shallow enough we could go in and wait around and have fun very nice property the bedrooms each one of them was so separated that they were not next to each other so sleeping was the best very nice place we will go again when the grandkids are bigger and we’ll spend a week there

The Best Experience!

My friend wanted a low-key cabin getaway for her bachelorette party, and Stella's Nest was perfect! 8 people were able to comfortably stay in the main house, and the gazebo was a great spot to keep the coolers, pool floats, and extra drinks. Check-in couldn't have been easier, and Joe was very responsive with all questions. He even left a bottle of wine from the nearby winery, which was a very sweet gesture! The only thing that wasn't ideal was I didn't know he had a boat available for our use until a week before our stay, so we cancelled our rental for another boat because we thought it would be easier to rent Joe's (and it was - I have no pontooning experience, and he called me and walked me through how to use his BEAUTIFUL pontoon!) That said, I could have missed it in the listing, or it might not always be available. Overall, everyone was very impressed with how clean, comfortable, and spacious the cabin was, and we'll definitely keep this cabin in mind for future trips!

About the host

Hosted by Joe Schlueter

We have been on Lake Stella since 1976 and Stella's Nest has been in our family for over 30 years. We grew up local to the area and chose to be on Lake Stella for it's water quality, deep depths and spring fed source.

Why they chose this property

In 1991 we purchased Stella's Nest to take advantage of the double wooded lot, set back cabin, sunset view from deck as well as the uniquely shallow, gradual, pure sand bottom. Three generations of families have learned to swim, fish, canoe, waterski and relax here.

What makes this property unique

A wide variety of birds visit the area. It is a short commute from the cities and it's western location avoids heavy traffic. The house is located on a private drive and quiet location. You have a choice of sun or shade depending on your preferences and weather. A picnic table is located on the deck for your yummy outdoor meals..
