Cozy 1 Bedroom Cottage

The Bird's Nest is owned and operated by the owners of Shalestone Vineyards. Located in a community lake shore neighborhood just below the vineyard.

The deep ravine and active stream on the north side provides privacy and a soothing sound. There is a rental across the ravine so it's not completely isolated as to sound. On the south side of the cottage there is a family home and they are very respectful as to being noisy neighbors. Generally the neighborhood is quite during the week and a little more active on weekends at certain times of the year. If your looking for complete isolation this isn't the place for you.

This renovated cottage has a cathedral ceiling spanned by a large cherry log and accented with Stag Horn Sumac branches. All the woodworking is made from trees harvested from the property, (red cedar and white oak)
The kitchen cabinets are made from wine barrels.

The queen size bed has a 3' memory foam top and faces a large window overlooking the lake. Lounge in bed and listen to the lapping waves or catch the morning sunrise on the opposite shore.

A large deck runs along the entire lake side of the cottage and has a partial roof for sun/rain protection and is private from the cottages on either side.
