It has to be beautiful and it has to be in a peaceful atmosphere. . . These are my biggest desires when it comes to a weekend getaway. The Nest was both… and more!

We loved that this charming little lake house was only an hour drive from home and yet it was tucked away in a quiet community. The set up of the house is cozy and romantic. There is a loft bed, literally hanging from the ceiling. We felt spoiled by all the fun little details that this air bnb offered. Such as a boat, super soft throw blankets, an easy to use fireplace… just to name a few.

The interior of The Nest was very clean, up to date with wifi, streaming tv, a/c, etc. And to top it off, it was charmingly decorated! I felt like I walked into a magazine and got to soak it up for three days.

Even thought it felt remote, we were just a 10-15 minute drive away from lots of fun little shops and cafes, as well as Cabela’s. Which became necessary to visits in order to be stock and well supplied for the fishing. We found the cutest coffee shop nearby. If you are in the Hamburg area it’s worth a visit, Cafe Four Twelve. We also enjoyed browsing the antiques shops that were on the same street as the coffee shop.

During our stay, we saw our share of wildlife. There was multiple deer sightings as well as some baby racoons, a fox, a mink family and many different kinds of birds. Most of the animals were seen in our travels to and from Hamburg and Kutztown for our breakfast and supper outings.

We had such a relaxing time at The Nest. We enjoyed slow, quiet mornings out on the dock reading and fishing, peaceful boat rides at all hours of the day, and star gazing on the dock at night.

We saw the glory of God in his creation as well as the building itself. This place has a history of being abandoned and left to rot. The new owners came in with a vision… There is a photo book of the renovation process. The whole place speaks of the beauty of redemption and new life! If you are looking for peace and beauty, this spot is worth a visit.
