We had an issue with the smoke detectors but the host was prompt in taking care of the issue. The yard was not very well kept and needed mowing and weeding. Lots of traffic noise but overall the house was a good fit for the six of us. The location is excellent. We enjoyed our stay. The host was great to sell us eggs and even scheduled us a dinner with an Amish family. I would recommend this house

This as our second year and planning the next at the Nest. We love this residence that is so well located for us. It is immaculate, welcoming, and offers so many amenities. The beds are very comfortable, and the large living room has great seating for all of us to be in at one time. There are shelves of games and activities for all ages. For those who like it, there is a fire pit outside with many chairs, and a huge barbecue grill. The kitchen has a flat top electric stove, dishwasher, and is fully equipped. We found a crockpot is available! The washer and dryer are commercial quality. Our 4 generation family looks forward to this annual weekend. The Nest's host is gracious, and has made this home a true comfort in every way. We give the Nest 5 stars for everything.

This property was perfect for our family which included grandparents, parents and teenage grandchildren! Having three bathrooms was a real bonus. The house is clean, cozy and has enough room for all of us. The host is over the top in responding to questions and the details she put into her home. Location is great and it is dog friendly! Thank you Juana for your beautiful home. We will be back some day
