10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
The kitchen is very well stocked, including coffee and spices. Much appreciated for the first morning coffee! The hosts were very friendly and responsive.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
Our families (5 adults and 4 children aged 3-11, plus 2 more adults and a 13-year-old who visited) enjoyed our time together at The Nest. The hosts touched base at appropriate times; the place offered good space for playing games (both box games and digital), making a gingerbread house, reading, sharing meals, and time in the hot tub looking at the stars (and clouds). Beyond the house we enjoyed wine tasting, curling lessons, walking in the area, and together time in an igloo at Hop Lot in Suttons Bay. We appreciated the cleanliness, the ample bed sheets and blankets, the towels for showers and
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
Check in process very easy, host very quick to respond to questions, very clean and location was only 10 miles from most of our excursions! Beautiful view while sitting in the hot tub and also close to a seasonal road for quiet morning and evening walks.
