  • We just got back from spending the weekend at "The bird's nest" and had the most wonderful time! The owners are very organized and lay out everything you need to know about how to get there and what to do when you're there. We went with another couple and we all agreed the home is so beautiful. We can't wait to plan another trip next year!

  • Great House. Perfect set up for a couples getaway. We had 3 couples for the weekend. Great that each had privacy of own floor and private bath. Common areas were great for the social times. Beds were very comfortable. Well equipped. Would choose again!

  • We just returned from a long weekend with another couple at the Bird Nest. Remarkable! Quiet, charming, the perfect home away from home. From hiking in the morning to stargazing at night it was a special place. We will definitely return in the future...Thank you Steve and Maria for a beautiful weekend!

  • We stayed at the Bird's Nest for a long weekend as 3 couples. It was great, plenty of bedrooms and baths to accomodate us. One evening we saw a couple of adult wild turkeys and 5 or 6 chicks. The next morning we saw a parade of 11 turkeys walk right up the driveway. We definitely plan to come back. I can only imagine how nice it would be in the wintertime.

  • We stayed at the Bird's Nest the first weekend in June and were very pleased with the location, the layout of the home, and the accomodations (comfy beds and plenty of bathrooms!). While washing dishes one night, I looked out the window and spotted a deer walking through the woods- now how cool is that?!? We will definitely be returning.

  • May 30, 2008 Steve and Maria have created a delightful retreat with great attention given to every comfort and convenience. The furnishings are lovely, the beds are very comfortable, and it was a fabulous home away from home. It is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. The birds, turkey, and other wildlife are just an extra bonus!

  • My two girlfriends and I celebrated our 50th birthday year by going to Galena for a few days. The Bird's Nest was perfect! We each had our own bedroom and bath, the house was clean and very comfortable and only a 10-15 minute drive from the heart of Galena. We spent our days hiking, shopping and sight seeing, and our evenings talking, drinking wine and playing board games in front of the fire. Why would you want to stay anywhere else?

  • We have stayed at The Birds Nest on 3 separate occasions, and have yet to be dissappointed. It is a private, quiet location, but still close to everything Galena has to offer. The house is tastefully decorated and has all the amenities one could ask for. We will definitely stay here again!
