Very cozy and relaxing, I would just say that the bed pillows need to be more comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. We had a very nice stay.

The Nest

The nest was perfect for our getaway. The cottage was cozy and quiet, great for my husband and I. It is just outside of Waco, so the traffic was minimal but within minutes from Waco attractions.

Quaint and lovely

We were blessed to host our elopement ceremony at this lovely location. Very peaceful and we enjoyed the vintage touches. Host provided microwave popcorn, coffee and tea with creamer and sweeteners, which was a lovely treat. Communication with the host was very helpful and responsive.

Super cute place to stay!

Adorable space! Everything one needs and just cute! We had freezing tenperatures outside during our stay so we didnt get to enjoy the outside space but I can just imagine how sweet that would have been as well! Will definitely recommend this space and host!

Baylor University move in

This was a bitter sweet time as I was in town to help my daughter move into her new apartment for year 2 at BU. The Nest was a perfect place to rest in between and hold intimate conversations with my daughter. Kyal, our host, was very attentive to our needs and quick to reply. We even stayed an additional night without hassle. The kitchenette was key to save money as this trip was quite costly. This cottage was charming, provided all we needed and I hope to return with my husband.

Quiet Getaway

Nice little cottage for two in a quiet little area. The hosts were very responsive and had everything you would need at the cottage. There is a great covered porch to eat outside if the weather cooperates. We will definitely be back to this charming retreat.

Clean, Private, Fun

The property had fantastic amenities: cornhole, fire pit, picnic benches. The home was super clean and nicely furnished. The unit was secluded which offered great privacy. The check-in and check-out process was seamless. The owner and management company communicated clearly throughout my stay. Overall, a very comfortable stay, and I highly recommend it to others. I would stay again!
