The Eagle's Nest: A Charming Oasis Minutes from Decatur Square

I am originally from Fort Worth, TX and moved to Decatur, TX in 2003 after Billy and I got married. We raised 8 kids together in our big blended family. Planning get togethers, large parties, weddings, receptions, has all been a part of my life for many years. I also owned and operated a commercial cleaning business for18 years. Finishing our 2nd story apartment for the purpose of hosting guests naturally seemed like a great idea! I totally enjoyed decorating the Eagle's Nest with the intent of making people feel very special during their stay. I personally apply my detailed cleaning standards to the Eagle's Nest. I have always enjoyed meeting new people and serving people's needs. In addition to our home business of the Eagle's Nest, I am also a musician (keyboardist), playing regularly at my church, as well as a few times in a cover band. I enjoy landscaping, decorating, teaching piano, socializing, and doing Cross-Fit type workouts at my gym. I know it sounds like I'm all over the place, but I'm an eclectic sort of person. Our family has grown since everyone lived here - we are grandparents, and soon to be great grandparents! We often have family gatherings, but the Eagle's Nest is still a separate, quiet space where guests can feel peace and enjoy country views. As far as why I chose the name Eagle's Nest, here's the story: Our big beautiful live oak trees starting dying a few years ago, so I thought we should contact a local tree artist. You know, a "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade" kind-of-thing. One of our dead trees' trunks comes right up through the deck of the apartment, so we had to get creative! I came up with the carved eagles and Billy came up with the nest idea. Kevin, the artist said he actually could create this eagle's nest for us! One thing led to another and we had Kevin carve our "sculpture garden" below as well! We gave him artistic license to carve what he "saw" in the trees. We ended up loving it!

This 2nd story guesthouse apartment is completely separate from our main house. The Eagle's Nest is great because from all angles you get a nice view of land or trees or pool. It's not in a neighborhood. Billy and I are close by only if needed.

Location is a huge plus because we are located so close to several highways, making it easy to get where you need to go! We also have a private country feel, which oftentimes you'd have to drive really out of your way to get, so I think it's kind of the best of both worlds!
