Beautiful property. Love me a midcentury design. Very responsive host. And a wonderful location between Woodbury and Bethlehem. You can can even get a Whole Foods delivery same day but then you discover a Le Bonn and a New Mornjg. Market nearby. Great parks and sights. Very dog friendly too.

The house was amazing! It was perfectly secluded for our bachelorette weekend with the girls. It was very clean and check in and check out was super easy. It was truly beautiful, the pictures don’t do it justice! We were so sad to go, but we really had an unforgettable weekend!

This home is in a quiet, rustic area. We stayed for just two nights, in town for a wedding. There were 7 of us staying, so this was a very nice alternative to staying in a hotel. The rooms were very spacious, the a/c kept us comfortable and the common rooms accommodated us quite well. A nice place to get away for a peaceful retreat.

This was one of the most well maintained and gorgeous properties I have stayed at in the US. It sits on a large plot of wooded land far enough from town that peace can be found, but not too far for a run to the grocer or to grab a lunch. The home has plenty of natural light, especially in the den, and good indoor and outdoor lighting. The kitchen is fully equipped and the grill is well maintained. The TV is quite large in the den, and the amount of outdoor seats allowed us to fit the whole crew around the firepit in the evening. We very much enjoyed our stay here and would return again.

A 10-day retreat

Our family stayed at this airb&b for 10 days. It was an incredible retreat removed from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The home is beautifully decorated with unique furniture pieces and art work. In addition, the common living space is perfect for lounging and watching TV. The patio was perfect for dining and was large enough to accommodate friends .

Meet-up at the Nest

We met our kids (who live on the east coast) at Natures Nest and really enjoyed our time here. We cooked 2 big meals and the kitchen had everything we needed…even spices & coffee. And Marco left some apples, sweets and wine for us! He was very responsive and helpful anytime we had questions, and gave us great recommendations. Everything was great!

Beyond Exceptional!

Marko was a fantastic host! So responsive and friendly! The property was beyond words. Every piece of decor had a story! We loved it SO much that my husband and our friends will be returning next year! We got there to find that Marko left us a lovely note and a bottle of wine! Gave us great suggestions on things to do and we wanted for NOTHING…Everything we needed was both available indoors and outdoors! The babbling brook with the yoga area was so zen! We absolutely enjoyed ourselves and cannot wait to return!

Its been 10 years since the last time in CT

Property is peaceful. Kitchen well equipped down to coffee togo cups. Marco very supportive and welcoming. Really wants you to be at home and enjoy the space. Homemade potpourri in some areas so delightful, not over powering just spa like. Easy check out. Take out trash, run dishwasher, and put all towels in one spot. (We opted laundry room) We has 6 adults and had plenty of space.

Peaceful place

Beautiful spacious well decorated home. We loved our stay. Mostly enjoyed the outdoor patio and fire pit. We came as a family from our of state for my father in laws funeral. Our only issue was our phones had no reception, so I had to drive into town to get to my information regarding WiFi and find door locking information. It took time out of our visit to figure things out. A book with info might have helped us. Otherwise everything was perfect! Thank you!

Outstanding House

Not the regular rental This house and its host are outstanding. You are not faced with the regular IKEA furniture. Instead, you find a home that is carefully and tastefully decorated. In every corner you can see that the owner did not choose the furniture and appliances for his guests, but for himself. You will find designer furniture, exclusive wine glasses for different types of wine, cocktail glasses with an accompanying recipe book, a really big refrigerator, a TV that is massive (more like a cinema), two washing machines, a Genesis grill (instead of the usual Spirit), etc. I could go on forever. Oh, and for those of you who need to work during your vacation: There is a comfortable antique desk and the internet is really fast. In short, there is attention to detail and the outfit is perfect. The same goes for Marko, the host. He was very welcoming, responsive and helpful from the start. Answers to our questions came within minutes. He suggested some beautiful places in the area (e.g. a waterfall 5 minutes drive away), made some wonderful restaurant recommendations, gave us tips on how to use the fireplace and grill. Over the days we stayed at the Nature's Nest we developed a very friendly relationship even though we were only texting. We will definitely be back.
