The Nest was absolutely lovely! From the thoughtful welcome note and treats to enjoy, to the cozy and inviting decor, every detail made it feel like home.There was no shortage of fun things to do during our stay. We enjoyed air hockey, ping pong, corn hole, darts, and a great variety of board & card games. It’s the perfect setup for families or couples looking to relax & have fun together.The kitchen was one of the best stocked I’ve ever seen in a rental. It had everything needed to cook a gourmet meal. Theres an adorable tea kettle, a beautifully stocked coffee bar offered several coffee options, along with a nice selection of teas and sugars. The clean grill on the back patio made it easy to enjoy a meal outdoors as well.The home has three comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms. The king bed was very comfortable, and the shower water was nice and hot with good pressure. The kitchen table seats six, and there’s also a patio table and two outdoor loveseats where you can sit back, enjoy the fresh air, and take in the rose bushes around the home.Communication with the host was excellent. She responded quickly to every question and even provided a helpful notebook filled with local recommendations for dining, shopping, and sightseeing.Overall, we truly felt like we were staying in a friend’s home. The care that went into decorating, organizing, and adding thoughtful touches made our visit so enjoyable. We would absolutely recommend The Nest to anyone visiting the area.
