My family and I loved our stay at Claire's Nest! It is a gorgeous cabin in a beautiful location. Teaching my younger brothers how to fish at the community lake is a fond memory we will definitely look back at through the years. This was our first experience booking a cabin and we could not have been more satisfied. Michelle is very accommodating and made us feel extremely welcomed throughout our stay. Would absolutley love to come back during the snowy season! ##### Eric G. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanna C. May 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic little cabin Really loved our stay here and will stay again! Perfect spot for our small family of 4\. It's well located and is a very short drive to the local ski resort and there wasn't enough snow to take advantage of the private sledding hill, but I could see that being clutch during a better winter season. It was very tastefully designed, cozy/warm, and the king size bed is a very comfy memory foam. My kids enjoyed the selection of puzzles and toys and it has the most well stocked vacation rental kitchen I've ever seen! We had no problems preparing all of our food and enjoyed listening to some records during dinner. Thanks for the great stay! Definitely won't hesitate to book again. ##### Joanna C. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Courtney C. Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This property is lovely, and the hosts were really thoughtful about the little amenities around. They were also really responsive. Check-in and out were easy. A great spot for exploring the area, but my son’s favorite time was ‘cozy time at the cabin’ Recommend! ##### Courtney C.
