Perfection

Beautiful spot, great home. Clean and comfortable and beautifully designed and decorated. Everything from booking, to check in and check out are easy. So many little extras have been thoughtfully included. We've rented many vacation homes from the gulf coast to the ADK, but this little place is something special. Thank you for letting us enjoy it for a couple of days.

Better than the pictures!

The house is immaculate! In addition they thought of all the little things, a thank you note, extra toothbrushes (one of my teens forgot their's), snacks and small breakfast items. The queen bed was super comfortable! We only stayed one night after a long day skiing at holiday valley and it was refreshing to say the least. Complete 10, no negative feedback

Perfect Getaway

The Nest was the perfect place for rest, relaxation, and fun! The view of the lake and the fall colors on the trees was beautiful. The house was super clean and had everything needed.

Wonderful Stay at the Nest

This place was beautiful. It was as described in the advertisement. My kids jumped out on the kayaks and pedal boats to cast a line and try to catch a Tiger Musky. This place was very spacious as the owners made the most out of every inch, was very updated, and had a great view!

Breath taking!

These hosts thought of absolutely everything! We truly felt like family. Being right on the lake allowed for relaxing views, family recreation (paddle boat for us….but could have chosen canoe, kayak, paddle board and more), and simply peace and tranquility! I have stayed in 10-15 VBRO homes to date and this was by far the best!!!!!

Peace & Tranquility

If you want to escape the bustle of daily life and go somewhere out of the way of the world to rejuvenate, this is your place. You will have the perfect host. The “Nest” is CLEAN, well appointed and full of thoughtful amenities—kitchen fully stocked with everything you need. We enjoyed the indoor and outdoor fireplaces, relaxing on the deck, grass and dock. The beds are comfortable and extra soft blankets are everywhere. There were loving touches around every corner, including a vase of fresh willows placed for us on the deck. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake and the games provided. If you have littles, she even has a few toys tucked away in the storage ottoman. One of the best spaces we have ever rented. 10 stars!!
