Excellent stay

The house has been beautifully remodeled and was in a great location. Plenty of space inside and out with a nice dock being built. Jacob was very easy to communicate with and helpful with any questions. By far one of the best stock places ive stayed with plenty of extra towels, linens, and a stocked kitchen.

Hello Jacob & Veronica, you have a charming, cozy, spacious, & well decorated house for the Christmas holidays! The decor and accommodations create great vibes for a 3-day stay! You have just the right vision to create a wonderful getaway place. There’s a lot of attention given to the details & offered within the extras. Plus, the lake property location and access is very nice! We really enjoyed our time there gathering with our Texas family. Happy New Year from North Carolina! We wish you both the greatest future successes with your property! I hope you will stay the course so many others are able to take in and enjoy the refreshing lake effects you’ve created @ the Blue Nest.

The Blue Nest was a great stay for our extended family while we were in town for our son’s wedding. The layout of the house was perfect for us and we thoroughly enjoyed the sunroom on the back of the house. We will caution that the floor has several issues in the main areas which were a tripping hazard for the older grandparents in our group. Two are covered by floor mats so not noticeable until you step in the break. We did enjoy the use of the canoe and the grill. We would highly recommend staying here, just be aware of where you step.

Perfect Family Getaway in Flint for a Wedding

We had a fantastic stay in Flint, Texas, while attending a family wedding. The host was extremely responsive and accommodating, making our arrival and stay seamless. The house was immaculate and equipped with all the amenities we needed, which made us feel right at home. One of the highlights was the beautiful yard and dock area, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery. The spacious kitchen was thoughtfully stocked, allowing us to prepare meals with ease. Overall, it was an ideal setting for our family gatherings, and we would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area!

Great for family wedding

House is lovely, well appointed and fully stocked with everything you need. Stocked kitchen, linens, games, even kid toys. Great lake access and beautiful view. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Two minutes from our son's wedding venue. Grill, firewood for fire pit, kayaks and canoes. We got to enjoy the view and outside but did not get chance to get on the water. Plenty of room for our family and friends. Highly Highly recommend. Seller was also very responsive!!!

Great house, views, and set up!

We had such a wonderful time at the Blue Nest. Everything was thought of for our comfort. I got a little confused on my timing and checkin time and Josh was so helpful and accommodating. The beds were super comfortable. The rooms were set up in such a way that our group of 6 were able to enjoy each other and feel like we had plenty of space. We were glad that previous reviews mentioned the kind of run down neighborhood, so we weren’t surprised. We always felt safe and the house was awesome!

Annual Family Vacation

Our family takes a trip every summer and this year did not disappoint! The house was spacious and clean. It had all the amenities we needed. The beds were SO comfy which was a huge plus for all of us. The check in process was seamless and our hosts were on top of everything. The neighborhood was overall quiet and peaceful. The neighbor a couple of houses down let us fish off of her dock and unload when we dropped people off after boating. Grocery stores were just right around the corner, as was the marina. This was such a peaceful and relaxing vacation and it definitely was hugely in part to this property. It’s such beautiful, well kept home and we definitely recommend!

Genau die richtige Entscheidung

Für die Sonnenfinsternis haben wir ein Haus für 6 Personen gesucht, welches schön gelegen, nicht weit vom Flughafen Dallas entfernt ist und möglichst nahe an der Totalitätszone liegt. Wir sind fündig geworden und haben es nicht bereut. Das Haus ist groß, toll gelegen und ist von den größeren Städten nicht so weit entfernt. So konnten wir Tyler, Waco, Houston und Dallas besuchen, ohne den ganzen Tag im Auto unterwegs zu sein. Die Gastgeber haben sich für uns richtig ins Zeug gelegt, haben ein sehr sauberes und voll ausgestattetes Haus übergeben. Mit dem Zugang zum See konnten wir mit den bereitgestellten Kanus die sonnigen Tage für eine Wasserwanderung nutzen. Abends haben wir am Lagerfeuer gesessen und die Ruhe genossen. Alles in allem war der Urlaub ein großes Erlebnis - auch dank der großartigen Unterkunft.
