About the host

Hosted by Joe Schlueter

Host profile image
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..
