Quiet Getaway

We had a fantastic time at this property. A beautiful home that had everything we needed. Very private and quiet. We enjoyed the hot tub and the beach. Nearby we recommend Union Pier Social and Timothy’s. The people were great at both places. Loved our stay.

30th Anniversary Getaway

We absolutely LOVED this property. We stayed New Year's weekend, during which we also celebrated 30 years of being married. The Nest was the perfect place to sit and watch the lake, and we were lucky enough to have a snowfall as well. We would love to stay again

magnificent location and property!

The location of The Nest can't be beat. It is RIGHT on the beach with views from every room of the house. The home is immaculate and the property manager made everything easy. The kitchen and home had everything a renter might want...beach towels/umbrellas/chairs, as well as all kitchen appliances. The house is new and immaculate. We were there with two teenagers and it worked well for a few days to have one in the sun room and the other in the entry area. We can't wait to be back! We were MUCH happier right on the beach than we would have been a few blocks east with the kids in their own bedrooms.

ReallyGreat

Everything was great. No complaints, just one observation there is only one rail going up the staircase. For me I have very little dexterity in one of my hands so coming downstairs I had to back down the stairs. I’m not recommending that the property itself do anything about it, just recommending that they advise about the property not totally being handicap for some. I am use to coming up with new ways to overcome challenges, so personally I didn’t mind it. Everything was absolutely wonderful overall, wouldn’t mind doing it again.

Perfection

This is my lead in: we planned a trip to London next year, canceled midway through this trip, and rebooked the Nest. THAT is how perfect it is. I rarely say anything is without flaws and I say it today. We loved this charming place from the minute we walked in. Kathleen, the manager, responded to me immediately when I couldn’t unlock the door. User error. She was always available, kind and helpful. We walked in to find gifts of Prosecco and some chocolates inside the gorgeous French door refrigerator. The house was pristinely clean, was appointed with high end everything and the views are breathtaking. Nothing is taken for granted here. The architect designed the Nest for best vantage point views, which is what we wanted. It’s cozy, the kitchen is a chef’s kitchen and I loved cooking there. Usually, I don’t enjoy cooking at rentals because the accoutrements are second hand cast-offs but all equipment here is best quality. Breville, Le Creuset, Cuisinart, and Crate and Barrel are just a few brands I used. I could cook happily and see the lake, too. We enjoyed the fireplaces, upstairs and in the bedroom, for the cool evenings, and when it was clear we could see Chicago! The beach is serene and we enjoyed being on it often, particularly for sunsets. It’s a lovely location for day trips further north but also a fine location on its own. We antiqued, ate well at plentiful restaurants and hiked the dunes. One day we never left the house because it’s just that wonderful. I read in the bedroom while my husband watched football in the living room. We had equally jaw dropping views. Nobody loses out in either room. The furniture is inviting and comfortable so you may never leave the house. We enjoyed the hot tub and I had several comfortable baths in the deep tub. This is a special place and I can’t wait to get back to our new “regular” vacation spot. It’s perfect.

Lakeside getaway

This was our second time staying at the Nest and it was everything we hoped for. We enjoy the off season peacefulness. The Nest fits our needs and is a relaxing environment. Unlike other places we have stayed the Nest is simply yet warmly decorated. It provides everything we need yet is not cluttered. We love it. Kathy is a great communicator.
