Our family had a reunion and we went to Lake Bellaire, the lake where several of us spent the summers growing up. Sparrow’s Nest was a wonderful house on beautiful private grounds. We would stay there again! ##### Julie L.

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! ##### Jeff Y.

We had a wonderful time. The deck was great. We enjoyed the view and the location at the end of the lake. Great space for lawn games. Cool fire pit. Air conditioning units in bedrooms were awesome. We had one minor issue and it was resolved promptly. We were able to secure our jet skis on the dock. We really enjoyed ourselves. ##### Nancy L.

The checkin checkout process was archaic.. and a waste of time. Is it too much to ask that the check in and check out process be managed by electronic keys/locks? ##### mark v.

Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Elizabeth B., Madison, WI 19 Aug 2018 #### Great place for outdoor living! We stayed at this property for a week with several families and had a great time. Plenty of beds for all of us and a separate apartment over the garage for one of our older couples who liked to be able to go bed a little early. Well stocked kitchen - with small appliances and plenty of kitchen tools. The two refrigerators were really helpful to cut down on the need to go to the grocery store more than once. The real highlight was an amazing multi-level deck with lots of comfortable chairs, perfect for morning coffee and watching sunsets. Beds were very comfortable and while the main living area is not large, it is well laid out with plenty of seating. ##### Elizabeth B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marian R. 26 Jul 2018 #### Perfect House The house was perfect for the 10 of us. Granddaughters stayed in the apartment and really liked having their " own" place. Really liked the 2\. Refrigerators. Could have used a listing of the TV stations. Only criticism were the fact that several beds did not have top sheets on the them. Think we used every aspect of the place...loved the large deck....think the edge of the steps should be painted yellow as they blend with all the wood and I almost missteped and came close to falling. Hopefully the house was left in a clean condition. Housekeeping was still there when we arrived so we had to wait almost an hour to get in. Would recommend the house highly! MJB ##### Marian R.
