About this apartment rental

A cozy walkable downtown apartment that sleeps six. The Byrd Nest shares a building with a dance center and The Coop event space. You can also find Johnnie Byrd Brewing Company next door. The Byrd Nest is within walking distance of ten eating establishments, six bars and a coffee shop.

Forget your worries in this spacious and serene space. Equipped with a high end queen bed, comfy futon, pullout sofa, and clawfoot bathtub, the Byrd Nest is stylish and Wayne's most unique hotel offering.
The space
Located in the original 1912 Wayne City Hall building, the Byrd Nest is a quaint space with lots of charm, occupying what was once the Council Chambers and kitchenette. The space kept several elements from the original use including the antique eight foot Council table purchased in 1912, original doors, hard wood floor and too many charming elements to list!

The Byrd Nest sleeps up to six with a queen bed, hide-a-bed and comfiest futon. The bathroom features a very functional 100 year old cast-iron claw-foot tub.

We created a changing area to increase privacy in the quaint space.

The kitchenette features an oversized mini fridge with freezer, original farmhouse sink, large table and microwave.
Guest access
Guests will have secure access to their own space including a kitchenette, living space and bed nook.

Guests are able to utilize the green space outside of the Byrd Nest for their leisure. A picnic table is placed in the space for shared use. Please do not leave cigarette butts laying around, a cigarette trashcan is available in the beer garden of Johnnie Byrd Brewing Company.

A second means of exit on the premises is for Emergency Fire use only. This exit allows access to other tenants in the building and is always locked. It is NOT for guest use, except in the instance of an emergency. The door is alarmed and will alert the host with a silent alarm if opened.
Other things to note
The Byrd Nest is located in a shared building. The main floor is occupied by Johnnie Byrd Brewing Company and serves as their overflow/ event space called The Coop. The second floor is shared by the Byrd Nest BnB and a dance studio. Soundproofing is used throughout the building but some noise may be heard, specifically Monday through Thursday from 4p to 7p during the school year.

Best location and cleanest place to stay in Wayne. Love the history to the building and proximity to downtown and the college. The shower/tub is cute but awkward to use - very high step in and out and hand rail not in convenient place but other than that, it was excellent!

This place offers all that you need for a brief stay in Wayne. The history of the property is interesting and the decorating is homey. Location is perfect and convenient for walking down the Main Street. The hosts are accommodating and offer good communication.
