The host has done a great job with this property! Down to many small details, they go above and beyond a normal VRBO host’s role. Very accommodating and has everything you would ever need or want in a stay. HIGHLY recommend!!

Great home
This rental met our expectations plus some. It was clean and tidy upon arrival. Our children enjoyed the bunk bed room and the fenced in area. We would recommended this rental and would come back again if we were in the area.
Most AWESOME PLACE EVER!!! No detail left undone!! Host was just INCREDIBLE and very available!! Could not have asked for a cuter place to stay!! The front porch was to die for!!
Our 4th visit to the nest was just as wonderful as the other 3. We will definitely be back. Clean comfortable house with a great kitchen. Wonderful relaxing weekend in a cute town.
This was our 5th time staying at this property and it was perfect as usual. Karin is a wonderful host and sets up the house well and communicates all details before arrival. Such a comfortable home with cozy bedrooms and spacious common areas. The kitchen is well supplied with everything you need to cook full meals. The weather was perfect and a craft show was going on in town making it a perfect fall weekend. We are already planning our stay next year.
It met all of our family expectations. Very nice property good space, great updates and everything we needed for our family. Quaint house and quiet location. Worked great for us.

Thanks for visiting The NEST. You were great guests. We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
Perfect escape to a perfectly remodeled home. Hard to find anywhere else close. Owners thought of all the extras and provide wonderful service. Lots of space, comfortable beds and large showers. Highly recommended! Thanks!

From the owner: "Thanks for the great review. You are always welcome back!"
I won’t repeat what all others have said, but this is by far the cleanest, stylish and most well furnished VRBO I have rented. Don’t hesitate, it really is as good as the reviews reflect

This home has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Communication with the owner was easy and effortless. Plenty of room for our family of 8 adults. The Nest is surely one of the best places we have stayed. Thank you for a great experience.
This is our 3rd time staying at "The Nest". Each time the stay has been truly wonderful. The house is well equipped with all needed kitchen items and appliances. The beds are comfortable. The entire house is clean and cozy. We look forward to our stay here each year. We are already planning next year!

From the owner: "I love my 3-peat guests! You are always such a fun group to host and keep the house in amazing shape. Looking forward to seeing all of you again!"
This is our second stay at The Nest. Our family is scattered throughout Indiana, so we gather at The Nest for our Christmas. The Nest is beautifully decorated for the holiday. We are always so impressed with the cleanliness. The house is supplied with everything one could wish for. I can’t think of a single thing that wasn’t perfect.

Wonderful host
Our cousins from 4 different states came and stayed in the Nest. We are local and use this home for our guests as our house is too small. We had ages 10 months to 70 years old. Everyone said they had everything they needed. Such wonderful amenities with a lot of thought put into those things someone might need. They loved it. We enjoyed visiting them there as well. Very very nice.
I have stayed at many VRBO properties and Karin is doing it right!
The communication was great, the listing was accurate... the photos was spot on...the house and furnishings and all the little things she did made this get-away amazing!
The bunk room was a favorite of my granddaughters.. I could go on and on.. but to sum it up.. this property was perfect!
Kudos to you,Karin...
My NEST experience awaits!

Amazingly Perfect!
We had a great family Christmas vacation at Karin’s house. The house was stocked with all the essentials and welcoming surprises. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas.
We had 6 adults and 3 teenagers and everyone loved it!
It was centrally located from all the activities we had planned. Skiing at Perfect North, Ark Encounter, and Creation Museum.
I have already shared the booking link with several family and friends. We can’t wait to return!
Thanks,
Indiana & Florida Crew

From the owner: "We were so happy to host all of you again. You have been so fun getting to know. See you again next December."
Charming home renovated with style and a decorator’s eye. Many comfortable places to gather inside and out. Hosts were readily available and a pleasure to meet. The house is perfectly prepared to spoil its guests! We enjoyed the whole week there with friends. Thank you Matt and Karin!
This property was just as wonderful this trip (our 2nd) as it was last year. We chose to come back to the same location this year because of the great peaceful riverside location as well as the wonderful house. Karin has made sure every detail is taken care of. It is so clean and the kitchen is well stocked with all the equipment you will need. There was plenty of sleeping space for our group of 6 adults. After this 2nd stay it is starting to feel like home! We are already planning to try to come back next fall.
We loved staying at the nest! Cannot say enough about how nice this house is. The host had EVERYTHING you could need. Location is excellent- cute town and close to Madison. Loved it!
