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.

Wonderful & Relaxing Stay!!!

We really enjoyed our experience here! Clean and quaint room, super comfy bed and very kind and attentive hosts. We highly recommend staying here. It was a nice quiet location and it had everything we needed. It was a nice change from a standard hotel, it made our trip to Waco more meaningful. Check-in was a breeze and the location was perfect.

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.

Relaxing Getaway

Great location for a getaway from big city life! It was so relaxing & recharging, laying on the hammock, listening to nature, & seeing lightning bugs at night. The hosts were very responsive to any messages sent! Highly recommend!

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.

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.

We enjoyed our stay at The Nest. Such a cute little place. Very well appointed and clean. Nice, quiet area, private but also close to everything. I loved the decor, especially the green glass. If we are ever back in the area, we would definitely stay again. Nice and responsive hosts too.
