Great getaway!

The property had a cozy feel, was easy to find and close enough to a place to get groceries. The lake was beautiful and we had a wonderful time.

Classic summer lake experience

Very nice lake house and property on a secluded shady private drive. Absolutely gorgeous view of spectacular sunsets over the water. Handy private dock and wooded lot were also big pluses. If you’re looking for that classic lake vacation, this is a great choice.

Stella’s Nest

We stayed here for a week. The home was clean and tidy. Has a great deck to sit and enjoy the sunsets. We enjoyed sitting in the screened in porch. Joe is a great host. He was responsive to our questions prior to arriving and once we arrived. We will definitely stay again.

Lovely Cabin, all the amenities!

The cabin was well-kept and comfortable. Impressively well stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds and the teenage cousins loved sleeping upstairs in the loft. We had an extended family gathering, long overdue with the pandemic. Location is an ideal distance from the cities and allowed for day trips for family that couldn't stay the night. The board games were a blast each evening and tons of interesting books to browse on rainy days. We didn't even turn on the TV! The WiFi was strong. The lawn proved great for lawn games and the water entry was very shallow and sandy. The cabin faces west and we enjoyed beautiful sunsets each night. Loon calls were lovely. Highly recommend!!

The Best Experience!

My friend wanted a low-key cabin getaway for her bachelorette party, and Stella's Nest was perfect! 8 people were able to comfortably stay in the main house, and the gazebo was a great spot to keep the coolers, pool floats, and extra drinks. Check-in couldn't have been easier, and Joe was very responsive with all questions. He even left a bottle of wine from the nearby winery, which was a very sweet gesture! The only thing that wasn't ideal was I didn't know he had a boat available for our use until a week before our stay, so we cancelled our rental for another boat because we thought it would be easier to rent Joe's (and it was - I have no pontooning experience, and he called me and walked me through how to use his BEAUTIFUL pontoon!) That said, I could have missed it in the listing, or it might not always be available. Overall, everyone was very impressed with how clean, comfortable, and spacious the cabin was, and we'll definitely keep this cabin in mind for future trips!

About the host

Hosted by Joe Schlueter

Host profile image
We have been on Lake Stella since 1976 and Stella's Nest has been in our family for over 30 years. We grew up local to the area and chose to be on Lake Stella for it's water quality, deep depths and spring fed source.

Why they chose this property

In 1991 we purchased Stella's Nest to take advantage of the double wooded lot, set back cabin, sunset view from deck as well as the uniquely shallow, gradual, pure sand bottom. Three generations of families have learned to swim, fish, canoe, waterski and relax here.

What makes this property unique

A wide variety of birds visit the area. It is a short commute from the cities and it's western location avoids heavy traffic. The house is located on a private drive and quiet location. You have a choice of sun or shade depending on your preferences and weather. A picnic table is located on the deck for your yummy outdoor meals..
