Nice get away

My husband and I wanted a place to get away for a few days. This place was so cute! Very creative and away from the city. 25 minute drive to Fort Payne. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Container

Great location. Everything great except 2 things, 1. exterior lighting is lacking with the solar lights and 2. the steepness of entrance road depending which way you come in. Should be a foot note. I didn't attempt the stèep grade coming in at night because I couldn't see how far it went. Turned around and found the other way.

Cozy Getaway

My husband and I stayed 5 days at The Nest and had a wonderful time. The place was extremely clean and even came with a bag of marshmallows for toasting over the fire pit, candy, Nutri-Grain bars, dog treats, shampoo and conditioner. The bed was very comfortable with 4 bed pillows! It’s a cozy space but we had everything we needed. We really enjoyed making a fire with the generous supply of firewood. We highly recommend The Nest!

Wow!!

Speechless, we were speechless when we arrived! The place is absolutely stunning, everything was so clean and organized, fire pit was ready to go, extra propane for the grill, the list can go on and on! Communication was phenomenal and it was one of our best rental experiences we’ve had to date! We can’t wait to come back! Our pup enjoyed it as well, it was his first trip to the mountains so it was an adjustment but the property was perfect for him! Although it rained most of our plans out, there was nothing that could’ve compared to sitting in the deck drinking coffee listening to nothing except the dew rolling off the leafs of the trees.. Absolutely recommend and cannot wait to come back already!!
