Mike and Jennifer we excellent hosts! The instructions were very clear, the house was very clean and exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this little house while you are visiting your SIT or soldier while they are in training. Very easy to get to, and close to base! Thanks again for a cozy place to stay!
The Nest is welcoming, cozy, and comfortable. Mike and Jennifer go out of their way to provide a home away from home. The space is filled with books, games, and tons of info about local attractions. On top of this, they provide those little extras you may forget while traveling - toothpaste, body wash, etc. They even make sure the cupboards have more than basic spices with a fully appointed kitchen. Honestly, this is the best, most welcoming vacation rental we have stayed in.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for leaving the property in such immaculate condition. Your thoughtful care for the space is greatly appreciated. I also want to express my gratitude for your excellent communication throughout your stay—it made everything so smooth.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and I hope to welcome you back in the future!
All the best,
Mike
Very nice updated home. Super clean, one of the cleanest VRBOs I've stayed at. Super quiet neighborhood. Also, the house must be very well insulated as you can barely hear outside noise. Our only complaint would be the dehumidifier that is quite loud and runs almost constantly. Other than that, we'd definitely stay at the nest again if we were traveling to the area.
Great location to fort Leonard wood. If you have plans to go for a graduation. The house felt like it was a home, very clean with all essentials included. Quiet neighborhood, nice back deck. Really couldnt have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you so much for welcoming us.

Excellent place!! This is definitely home away from home, clean and nice. Everything I need overall stay was 10/10 Thank you Mike.
This place was really cute and made you feel relaxed. The place had everything you could ask for and the location is just man quiet area with the forest to the back of the house. The hostess awesome. We had issues with the door code and he was Johnny on helping us. It is a great place to stay if you are visoting Ft Lenard wood .
This home was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated with so much thought and care. The living room furniture was incredibly comfortable, and the extra blankets made it perfect for cozy nights on the couch watching a show. The beds and bedding were exceptionally comfortable as well.The house is located in a quiet, pleasant neighborhood, making it a relaxing place to stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook, including quality cookware, utensils, and a generous selection of seasonings and sugar to enhance any meal.The owners went above and beyond by leaving a sweet thank-you note along with some delicious chocolates, which was such a thoughtful touch. We only wish the weather had been a bit warmer so we could have enjoyed the backyard and deck more—they truly are a highlight of the property.We would absolutely stay here again and look forward to returning on our next visit to town.
We were there to attend my son’s graduation at Fort Leonardwood. We needed a place with two rooms for me and my husband and my mother.The home had everything that we needed while we were there. It was super clean and exactly how it was shown online.Thanks for the great accommodation. Denise
We came to Waynesville for my husband's basic training graduation at Fort Leonard Wood. The house was close to the base as well as stores in town. We really enjoyed our stay here. It was so much better than a hotel experience. We were able to cook/grill and relax with our soldier. The owners were very communicative and helpful. The place was clean. We are so glad we chose the Nest for our visit. Thank you Mike and Jennifer for such a pleasant stay.
This was 5plus stars! Quiet, clean, cozy, just perfect. Outside firepit, few neighbors, nothing but trees in the back. Beds comfy and very welcoming!!close to Fort Leonard wood where we went. Great food nearby. Great communication with the owners. You definitely should stay! I was there 3 nights, and enjoyed every second! Games to play books to read!

Quite literally the best hosts I’ve ever had! Thank you for sharing your beautiful space with us!
I was impressed, the house was very clean. I loved the way they have cleaning supplies on hand and left little snacks out for us. My soldier (son) got to come and get comfortable away from home before he had to return back on base.
