I am not so much into camping anymore but occasionally like to visit the Ocala National Forest. Found The Nest on the internet and gave it a try. Think a fish camp by Disney. Great access to the lake, swimming, fishing, boats and clean, functional cabins with great beds. This is not the low cost option, but for comfort and... More

We absolutely loved staying here – the room, the lake and the hosts made for a perfect visit. I had originally booked room 2, and it is gorgeous – it looks newly furnished and has a huge bed, and enormous bath. But when we saw the view from room 6, we upgraded and didn’t want to leave (ever) - it’s... More

My husband I wanted to experience this part of Florida. We live in southwest Florida so booked a three night stay at The Nest. Perfect selection! Large moss-draped oak trees welcomed us from the gate. The property is beautiful and superbly maintained. Our room was charming, professionally decorated by the owner. We took out the rental pontoon boat on site... More

We stayed 2 nights and it was perfect. The property is beautiful with towering oaks with Spanish moss and a great beach and dock area. The owners welcomed us like old friends and shared a ton of information about the area. It was also great to sit around the fire pit and chat with the other guests. Everyone was so... More

My wife and I stayed there this week for 2 nights and LOVED IT! We basically had the entire place to ourselves midweek which was great being away from kids and family and "de-stressing". Thank you to the many people lamenting in TripAdvisor "they wish they had stayed in Room #6". I had reserved room #2 but when we checked... More

Our recent stay at the Nest was perfect. The accommodations and property were superb. The owner Lorraine was so helpful in making out stay just perfect. The property with all the sitting areas on the large deck and beach made it difficult for us to leave to play golf. We stayed for 2 nights and wished we were staying longer.

My husband and I stayed the weekend for our 25th anniversary March 23 and 24, 2013. It was the perfect location. The owners were great and had everything ready for us when we got there just as requested. Beautiful decorated rooms, extremely clean, romantic grounds, and plenty of relaxation with food in the fridge and a beautiful fire going on... More

We were able to visit The Nest over the weekend of Feb. 15, 2013, to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. While it was unusually cold for FL, we enjoyed an incredibly relaxing two-night stay. Lake Weir is beautiful and peaceful. The accommodations and service were superb at the inn....Everything from the stunning sunrise and sunsets, to the diverse movie library... More

I stayed here Memorial weekend 2012, and absolutely loved it. The cottages are charming, beautifully decorated and clean. Our fridge was stocked with yogurt, milk and water while our pantry had a bunch of grab and go groceries. Even bug-spray was included! The owners are very friendly and you honestly feel like family once there. It's a wonderful get-a-way with... More
