The NEST Haven is a secluded highly-rated A-frame property that is considered to be one of the most loved homes on Airbnb. The one-bedroom cabin is an ideal getaway for couples or a single traveler. There is also an additional daybed for a third guest. 

You can’t help but relax when you stay at this gorgeous property. Let me start by telling you about the inside of the home. You will definitely want to spend a great deal of time in the living room. This rusticly decorated space is decked out with a comfortable couch and two swinging chairs. It is the perfect spot to enjoy a good book or take a well-deserved afternoon nap.

And then there is the bathroom. Once you see the clawfoot soaker tub and heated towel rack, you will never want to leave. Just wait until you discover the relaxing infrared sauna hidden behind a secret door in the home.

There is even more serenity waiting outside the door. The NEST Haven has a cozy outside area complete with a three-person hot tub, a hanging tipi swing, an outdoor shower, and a fire pit. Or take a walk just 800 feet from the cabin to scenic Rock Haven Lake’s sandy beach, offering swimming and boat access. A local beach pass is included in your stay.

Be prepared for a lot of peace and quiet. In fact, you may not encounter another soul during your stay at The NEST Haven. If you do wish to venture out, there are beautiful nearby hiking trails to enjoy. While the A-frame kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook fantastic meals, you may also want to dine at Harris Turkey Farm in neighboring West Newfield.
