I highly recommend the Best Nest. This home had everything we needed and then some. I have to say Gene, the owner, was a champ! We lost power due to a downed tree in the middle of the night. Once i called, Gene responded immediately, contacted the power company and kept us informed. So many blankets had been provided with the house, that we never felt the cold and power was restored in about 3 hours. I can't say enough good things about Best Nest... clean, private, well stocked and the views were amazing. A all the way.

Great Home for Family Getaway

The house was beautiful with amazing views! We had plenty of room with 6 adults and 3 kids. The host, Gene, was incredibly helpful and responsive! The kids loved the the loft and having their own space to hang out, and we all enjoyed the 2nd level porch. We would love to stay at the house again!

Spring break fun.

Beautiful house and great views. We enjoyed the privacy and quiet. Gravel road to the house was longer than I expected but in the end I think it was still worth it for the view and beauty. Wished we could have had a fire in the fire pit by unfortunately burn ban in the area at the time of our stay.
