About the host
Hosted by Jilayne Smith
Our family inadvertently, but thankfully, created @TheNest_Collective in 2020, a small family owned and operated, boutique brand of destination vacation rentals we have personally renovated, redesigned and created an experience for our guests. Our focus honed in on elevating that guests experience first and foremost and we immediately fell in love with hosting families and groups of friends looking to vacation together, under one roof! We take so much pride in helping to create core memories and wanting our guests to return...to any of our properties in the Collective! We want our guests to know they will be taken care of in the same way, at any Nest Property.
With our two school age children, we love to work hard and play hard, to travel AND create that environment for others to do the same!
We would be honored to be host you!
Cheers,
Doug and Jilayne Smith

Why they chose this property
White Birch Nest stands apart as one of the largest and most spacious homes in the area, designed for gathering and making memories. While it’s not directly on Crystal Lake (public beaches and boat launches are nearby), what it does offer is unmatched space, eight thoughtfully themed bedrooms, and an elevated focus on comfort, details, and hospitality.
Unlike big-box management companies, White Birch is family-owned and operated. With local boots on the ground and a dedicated turnover team, we take pride in ensuring every guest feels welcome and valued—you’re never just a number. After five years of hosting, we know that the best stays are about more than just a house—they’re about connection and adventure.
Come spread out, unwind in comfort, and make unforgettable memories at White Birch Nest!
