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.

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!

Well where to start...this place is absolutely beautiful! It was everything advertised and more!! We have never stayed at a place that is so equipped with all you could need. It was clean, pet friendly, located close to mutiple towns. It was also conveniently located close to biking trails, hiking/walking trails and close to the water. The location was so perfect we were able to ride our bikes right off the property to get to trails, beaches etc. The hosts are wonderful people that have obviously put a lot of thought into what may be needed to have a wonderful holiday experience! The outdoor living space was beautiful...so peaceful and private..had our own little peice of heaven. We will definitely be back!! Thank you so much Cleve and Kim
