Guest Experiences: 10/10
"The Robin's Nest was a lovely home with a great layout and all the amenities we could ask for. A well-stocked spice drawer, extra blankets, great outdoor space, activities to go with said outdoor space. There were plenty of places for all of the humans and just as many for the four-legged guests that were with us. I would absolutely stay with Petchell again."

"When I say they had thought of everything, I mean everything! So many nice touches to make you feel welcomed and things you may not have thought of were readily available! The porch, the view, the rooms, the ambiance was all a peaceful serene getaway from a busy life!"

The home is very nice and the views are spectacular! It is soo peaceful. The host is very responsive and helpful. The Smores kit was very thoughtful! The layout of the home is nice with kids or two families. Two bedrooms are on one end with living room and the main bedroom and den are on the other end(dining room/kitchen are in the middle).I wish the water level had been up some more, as we mainly caught sticks lol(this isn't controlled by the owner).

Very welcoming and comfortable home. They had everything you need to cook. The coffee bar was very nice to wake up to. The host even had stuff for making s’mores. Our adult kids loved sitting by the outside fire. I don’t think it could have been any better. The host checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay.

This cabin is a true gem. Located at the back of Lick Creek with it's own private dock and wonderful views of the water. Very private, immaculately kept, and a back porch that few cabins could compare. Our family will definitely return.

Quiet and relaxing property

Excellent just a weekend get away. Water level is great for walking and kayaking, but I think way too low to bring in a boat. But beautifully decorated and very comfortable and quiet few day get away.

Amazing View

We loved the place! It was just as described and the view was amazing! It was a little off the beaten path but our minivan made it just fine. We were four adults and two seniors. We spent most of our time looking out on the lake roasting marshmallows and playing corn hole. The hosts were very kind and responded with any questions quickly!! Would definitely recommend this place!

Excellent family vacation

The house was perfect. Pictures were true for the house but not for the lake front. The lake was very low which was a disappointment but the overall experience was great. We all had a great relaxing couple of days. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven.

What a perfect location to recharge

My husband and I really enjoyed this home. Specifically we enjoyed waking up to the sunrise over the lake from the comfort of our bed. We equally loved the porch and fire pit. We took this precious time to play cards, work puzzles, and just listen to some tunes. We did appreciate the paddleboards and kayaks. There wasn’t anything we needed that wasn’t there. We will definitely be back!
