Wonderful stay at Nightingale Nest!Property is very secluded and quiet. Home is exceptionally well appointed- fully stocked kitchen, lots of games, and hot tub with great views.There are actually 4 bedrooms, not 3.It should be noted that the average sedan cannot make it to the house due to the steep gravel roads. An SUV, truck, or 4WD is required. The road could potentially be impassable in the winter or periods of heavy rain.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review. We really appreciate it! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and loved everything you mentioned 😊 We also really appreciate you calling out the road conditions. We’ve updated our listing to make that clearer for future guests and recommend arriving in an SUV, truck, or 4WD (especially if there’s rain or winter weather). Thanks again for staying with us, and we’d love to host you again anytime!

Kitchen was adequately equipped; plenty of dinnerware/silverware; pots/pans. Would have liked the refrigerator water/ice makers to be on. Grill worked great! Hot tub was great; worked perfectly. Bathrooms could use more soap/shampoo/conditioner (than the travel sizes provided). Beds were good if you like firm (half our party loved them; half thought too firm...perhaps add some mattress toppers). View was spectacular! Living space was great! All in all a great property!
