About this property

The Nest is a newly updated home. Close to park and restaurants. Pet friendly!

Have a relaxing stay at The Nest which is completely updated! Walking distance to park, grocery store, and downtown. Close to restaurants and shopping! Sit and relax on the full reclining sofa or pull up a seat and work remote in the nice open office! This is an older home so the floors are slightly uneven and the stairs are steep.

Beautifully decorated... A true gem!

Great, very large, comfortable home. Kitchen is well stocked, washer and dryer are brand new. We only used the bedroom on the first floor, but it was super comfortable.

Stay in Belle Plaine Iowa

The Nest was very well located for our visit to family. The property was well suited to our needs and the Host was quick with checkin instructions, answers to questions, as well as additional needs. I would suggest that the Host run the hot water to kick off the hot water if there is substantial vacancy between Vrbo clients. We very much appreciated our stay.

Cute house

The house was very clean. I rated it 4 as there was a pile of dog droppings in the path way to the house. Also would be nice if driveway was closer to door. But neither is big deal. Victoria was super fast at responding. The house is very close to a lot of things. The house has everything you could possibly need. And it is decorated very cute. Also everyone said their beds were comfy.

Thank you so much for the review!! I am so sorry about the dog droppings. I get strays roaming the property. I know this because it sets the camera off. My apologies for that. Thank you so much for your feed back! Greatly appreciate your review!
