The Nest is a perfect place to gather with friends and family. The house is immaculate, and the Dock is perfect for gathering the family together to experience the beautiful sunrise on the lake.

What a gem. I graduated in 2008 and have always envisioned finding a place outside of Gainesville that would combine the peace and majesty of rural north florida and the magnetic bustle of a city and university I fell in love with. This was just that. We will be back.

If you're an early bird and enjoy watching the sun rise over a peaceful lake, then you'll enjoy the east facing location of The Nest. Very clean and well-appointed, comfortable, with a great dock complete with a table for alfresco dining and chairs for lounging both under shade or not...what more can one ask for? Maybe a tad more distance from the next door neighbor? Not a big negative as they were exceptionally quiet for a family with young children. Given the fact that the
two cottages were of similar style and the side entrances faced each other, we wondered if the Nest had been part of a family compound. There was tons of stuff to do in the area if you got tired of lake activities... hiking, biking, river paddles, etc. We enjoyed our stay.
Note: we found out upon arrival that the queen beds were memory foam of which we are not fans and there was a note recommending bottled water for drinking so you might want to come with an initial supply.

Family Getaway
The Nest provided a perfect stay for our family of 5 (including 3 boys) for a weekend getaway. The home was immaculately clean, and thoughtfully decorated and setup with all amenities you could need. The boat dock and access to the lake and fishing was the best! The hosts were great with communication and ensuring we had everything we needed for our stay. We plan to come back again!!

So much fun!
So clean and equipped with everything to cook and enjoy! We were 3 couples who have been friends for over 50 years! The guys loved fishing and the girls loved relaxing on the wonderful dock, kayaking, cooking, and enjoying the beauty! Wish I could show you the huge bass that we caught from the dock!

Cute…Clean..Comfortable!!!!
My family of 4 and family friend enjoyed our stay at The Nest. We were shocked how comfortable our stay was. The house feels bigger on the inside with tons of space upstairs. The house was also immaculately clean and the views were amazing. We hope to rent again in the summer.
