Staying here was an absolute delight! This was the perfect location for a relaxing girls trip. My friends and I kept mentioning throughout our stay how cute it was, and how we appreciated the nice little touches throughout the place. It was clear so much thought and care went into preparing this space for guests. The view was lovely, and everything was so clean and cozy. We would absolutely recommend The Nest for families, couples, or small groups of friends like us looking for a chill and relaxing getaway with a cozy lakeside atmosphere. We hope to come back again sometime! Thank you again to the lovely hosts Monica and Joelle, who were wonderful with setting us up with everything we needed.

The Nest is the absolute perfect lakefront cottage on Lime Lake. The cottage came fully equipped with everything our family of four needed for our stay. The Nest is not only beautiful, but also extremely comfortable. We cannot wait to stay at The Nest again.

The Nest is a peaceful retreat right on the water. Clean and cozy and a long list of amenities. We have stayed here a couple times before and each time we visit a different neighboring small town. We booked our next stay for the Fall before we checked out.

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. We really enjoyed the outdoor propane fire pit every evening. The owner/ manager were great with communication and super nice.

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!

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.

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!!!!!
