Hope we can come back!

100% would stay again. Beautiful place. Friendly host. Loved the dog, squirrels, chickens and rooster. Fabulous art throughout. Very nicely decorated. Lots of attention paid to detail. Games in the cupboard. Hadn’t realised the bathroom was through the bedroom so it was a little awkward for my poor Dad who was sleeping on the couch!

Exceptional accommodation

We had an wonderful stay at The Nest.It is an exceptional accommodation, very tasteful, comfortable and well appointed. No detail was overlooked in ensuring that we had a very comfortable stay. As advertised the trail head is literally outside your door and all amenities are a very short drive away. We will definitely stay again at this very cozy and beautiful cottage.

The property was exactly as advertised, new and very clean. The unit was beautifully designed. The kitchen was well stocked and had every thing required for a comfortable stay.
