Summary: It was like living in a magical forest , the lushness and the beauty was amazing and the walks up to the tennis court, and down to the boathouse. And the apartment was also great , huge window seat with the bay windows, five different kinds of coffees , a huge king size bed , lots of windows with beautiful things to look at. A large front porch with rocking chairs to sit and enjoy the view. Not to mention the lake and the boathouse, the kayaks, the paddle boards, the tubes, feeding the baby ducks, the peaceful serene space was perfect ! We only wish we could have stayed another week 😟 Melinda and Hall were a pleasure to be with and they could’ve been any nicer or more accommodating. We hope to return.👍❤️

Summary: Well, I can't write a review without first addressing the hosts. Melina and Hal are two of the most warm and gracious hosts you'll ever meet. The cottage/carriage house is located above the garage adjacent to their lovely home, tucked up a winding path and encapsulated by a breathtaking flower garden. You enter the cottage from a wonderful porch, half of which is covered and would be great on rainy days. The cottage is a large studio with a large kitchen/living/dining room that is separated from the bedroom area and bathroom by a beautiful fireplace. My favorite part of the living room is the built-in bench seating in front of the bay windows. To get to the lake, you can either take a beautiful, but steep, walk from the cottage (approximately 90 steps) or you can drive down about a mile. Driving takes longer. On the lake you have access to the boathouse which is filled with paddle boards, kayaks, floats, chairs and fishing poles. My husband tried to catch the large bass under the boathouse without success while I enjoyed floating in the cool water. The boathouse has a large deck on the upper level with bench seating. It is worth noting that the boathouse is located in a very quiet cove with minimal boat traffic. I would absolutely recommend this property to individuals or couples looking to escape reality and reconnect with themselves and nature. It would also be a wonderful place for anyone trying to write a novel, dissertation or study for professional exams.

Summary: We had a fantastic time at the house. It is in a beautiful location on the lake and the property is spectacularly landscaped. The hosts were a very gracious, lovely couple who were very knowledgeable about the lake and its history. We had a great great visit.

Summary: This property was just what we were hoping for. You hear nothing but the animals and dark at night is an understatement, they have a couple of small flashlights but you may want a spotlight 😂 The final 1.5 miles to the cabin are on a gravel road that is one lane so keep that in mind when choosing the vehicle you bring. The property is located right behind the hosts home and they were there to greet us and give us a tour of the home and a ride to show us where the boathouse was. All in all, we loved this place.

Summary: The homeowners were very friendly, the place was ideal, and we definitely plan to come back soon

Summary: After traveling for many years from Charleston deep into the Blue Ridge mountains of NC, we decided to search for a mountain retreat closer to home. The Nest is a part of a beautiful estate on Lake Summit not far from Saluda, NC....the first mountain town near I-26 while ascending the the "Blue Wall". We found this property to be perfect for our needs. The Nest is a very comfortable and cozy rental, fully stocked for those who want a home away from home on vacations. We cooked all of our meals there. The setting is a mountain side....a beautiful forest that was our main attraction. Sitting on the porch taking in that environment was heavenly. The boathouse is a great feature for water lovers. We took advantage of the kayaks and explored much of the lake. The location is also great for sightseeing. We explored Flat Rock, Hendersonville, and the Blue Ridge Parkway on one of our days. Hal and Melinda were charming hosts who provided a private accomodation, but were always on hand for help and friendly conversation. True southern charm! We will be back!

Summary: So glad I could squeak in another stay in this perfect Guest Cottage. I am a second-timer here & am already planning a return next year. The Nest is quiet, comfortable, clean, spacious yet cozy, & filled w/all the comforts of home & then some. The hosts are very hospitable, helpful, available if needed & ensure my stay is "just right." I highly recommend this vacation rental - plenty to do & see within a 20-30 minute drive (or more) but the bonus to me is staying put - relaxing on the large deck, reading, enjoying the lush view or hanging out at the boat house/dock, or walking around the Lake Summit area. Five stars!!

Summary: We had a great time staying at the nest. Loved sitting in the bay window and having coffee at the boat house to look at all the fall color. Thanks for a lovely weekend!

Summary: My wife and I spent a wonderful 3 days in this little gem on Lake Summit. Melinda and Hal are great hosts...on arrival they met us at the cottage and showed us around and how everything works. This included a brief and fascinating history lesson of the property! The fridge was stacked with several little surprises that was way beyond expectation. a real gem!

LINDA G. Sep 19, 2023 07:52:52 PM

Summary: This cozy little cottage, secluded in trees on the owners property was just the greatest VRBO we have ever been to. The owners were fantastic, so welcoming and helpful. The Nest is immaculate and has everything you could possibly need as well as the boat house. We stayed for nine nights and had beautiful weather, so we were able to enjoy the lake many times. It was a very quiet, peaceful vacation with my husband, and we will be back next year!
