2nd time staying at the “Nest” and everything was great as usual!! Great location and easy to get to! Pamela is a great host and we’ll definitely be back!!
The house was exactly as described and lots of space for everyone! Our host was very responsive to all questions we had during our stay. We all had a great time and look forward to our next visit at the Nest! Thank you Pamela for being such a great host!
The Nest never disappoints. 4 days/3 nights at Smith Lake is perfect for our crew. We swam at the dock, rented a pontoon boat…..for tubing and relaxing, & jumped from the rocky cliff. Ate lots of great food, had coffee on the dock at sunrise, and played lots of Pictionary & LRC at night. Lots of spaces in the house to spread out when needing space, kitchen is well appointed, beds are comfy. Pamela is communicative and responsive.
This was our 4th stay at The Nest. We love the location and it feels like home when we walk in the door. The owner is great to work with and communicate with! The house is equipped with everything you need.
We had a great stay at the Nest on Lewis Smith Lake. The house was perfect for our family. Fishing out on lake in AM and evening, hanging out on dock and floating around the lily pad good bit of the day. We all want to come back next year.
This property is very nice. We really enjoyed the view from dock and the quiet space from being on cove. Property was clean. We enjoyed every minute of it.
Wonderful! We had a great time.
Beautiful house in a amazing setting. Quiet comfortable and breathtaking views. What else could you want. Only problem was our vacation was way too short. Been trying to find an excuse to take another vacation there.
The property is very nice but the host Pamela isn't responsive with messages. That isn't the worst of it. Thank God there wasn't an emergency she takes hours before responding. The host. Pamela asked me to wash a couple loads of towels (after paying nearly $2000 for our stay) I didn't mind too much since she allowed us a later check out time at 1p.m. During our entire stay I noticed rat/mice traps. We had unwelcome quest...rats!!! For nearly $2000 this is unacceptable. A few fays after checkout I get an email from the host saying my card will be charged $100 for incidentals. I'm thinking what incidentals. Nothing was damaged at all and we cleaned up!!! This host is trying to charged me $100 for her cleaning crew reporting there was extra cleaning needed of picking up games, water bottles, and dishes. All lies. We took out over 6 bags of trash, put dishes in the dishwasher, washed 2-3 loads of towels. Then she states they have to get the washer swrviced because too many towels were dried and it made the dryer unbalanced ? seriously???? As a traverler why am I cleaning up? That's what a cleaning service is for and we paid for that fee as a apart of our booking. Then on top of there were rats!!!! Don't waste your time or money. Its over 30 minutes drive to food and shopping.
Super time. We could have used more towels & wash cloths. It would have been great to have more double/ king beds but we knew we would have to be flexible when we rented..
cannot recommend the stay enough!!! Pamela went above and beyond to accommodate us and was available by text when we needed her. Beautiful, inviting home! Thanks for being the perfect place for a long weekend!
As a great quiet location on the lake, our family had a very relaxing time enjoying the beautiful water and the fun water toys. We went during the week, so it wasn't busy and there was plenty of opportunity for quiet moments on the dock. The house had tons of space for our family of ten; space to gather all together or spread out to enjoy ourselves. The owner was easy to communicate with and very helpful.
Relaxing time with family.
Nice house at a great location close to marina and boat launch.
Pictures don't do this beautiful home justice. It's so spacious, comfortable and beautiful. The Nest is the perfect name. You're nestled in the trees with the beautiful lake steps away. Speaking of steps...the stairs to the dock are designed perfectly and they're easier to handle than most. Trust me. I hate stairs and I was back and forth multiple times a day. The landings provide amazing views and backdrops for photos for a photo obsessed mom ?. The huge deck and downstairs patio are amazing and include plenty of lovely seating options. I could've slept out there. Teenagers will fall in love with their own space downstairs complete with their own fridge and ping pong table. I can't say enough about what a great home this is. We found it kind of last minute and it exceeded our expectations. The town of Arley is very close and easy to get to if you forget essentials or decide you need some barbecue (like we did). Great place! We will be back.
Great location
