The bedroom has a comfortable queen bed and large lit closet. In addition to the bedroom, there are two twin beds available built loft style in the main room and a fold out twin bed in the ottoman.

A Little Getaway

The place was a fun little getaway, within walking distance from downtown. There was a bit of a stale smoke smell but otherwise was great! We also rented their 2 electric bikes and had a blast exploring the bike trails.

We really enjoyed our stay. The Nest is a great location and eventing was really nice. The three steps right outside the backdoor are a little wobbly, but everything else was great.
