Inside property was clean and well decorated. It is a very quiet area. Water system was weak, deck view was not as advertised, cafeteria nearby was closed for the season, it was necessary to drive to neighboring area for dining and groceries. Not walking distance to services. The yard grass and shrubery were unkept. It was overpriced compared to value of other properties around. I would not recommend this property.
View of harbour from deck. Deck is hiding behind other properties.

Very lovely home. Very clean with all amenities. Communication between VRBO and customer not good. Address given by VRBO was not accurate. Required having to call owner directly for correct directions. Everything else during our stay was excellent.

The Nest is a fully-equipped beautiful cottage in a very quiet area not far from the main road. The interior of the cottage is very cosy and there is a large private deck over-looking the yard.

The cottage was really cute and comfortable. Looked freshly decorated and clean. It even had tea, coffee, sugar, creamer, oil and spices so we didn't have to load up on that. The location is absolutely charming.

Cozy Nest

We had a very nice stay at the Nest. It is in a very quiet location close to some very good hiking trails. The picturesque town of Trinity is close. It has a nice restaurant and good ice cream shop.
