This was a great little place to stay. My husband and son had zero complaints. We stayed at the nest while my husband had some training for work. My little one spent lots of time in the lake, we rented a golf cart and and drove to the wood shed tap for dinner a few times. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. The host was great and was available when we needed her.

The perfect place for two

We had an amazing stay at the Nest. We rented it to have just a little more space for our family, who also stayed on the property at the Goodwell. The Nest was a newly renovated space for two with all of the amenities we needed to enjoy time together. We enjoyed the Keurig, puzzles, cards, binoculars and the very thoughtful brownies from a local bakery upon arrival! Thank you for a relaxing and memorable vacation!

The Nest

With 10 of us in Bass Lake (6 high school senior boys), we wanted to give our college age daughter and her roommate (from Maine) a chance to relax before spending the last few days of our vacation with the boys. Your beautiful home was perfect for their use. Thank you to the amazing superhosts, we highly recommend this apartment!

Cute Little Nest

We enjoyed our stay at this very adorable place on Bass Lake. It was perfect for my husband & I. We were able to rent a pontoon boat directly from the owner which was very convenient. They also had kayaks, paddle boards & a canoe for our use that was included. The owners were vey accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.
