8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2024
We had a large family vacation and Sparrows Nest held us all comfortably! We found it very clean and well appointed. The location is beautiful and area super fun. The swim spa was a hit with the kids though a bit more connection to the lake - beach area and/or kayak/paddle board/canoe - would make the stay even better. Thanks!
