A Finch's Nest
Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. Experience everything Nelson county has to offer, hiking, fishing, skiing, and kayaking. Or enjoy the breweries and vineyards on the Nelson 29 and Nelson 151 craft beverage trail. If a quiet retreat is what you prefer, please enjoy the wooded atmosphere and relax by the fire pit. The space Our “nest” is located at the northern end of Nelson county nestled into the woods. We live in the upper part of the house and you will have an apartment we made in the basement. There is one bedroom with a queen size bed. And a large room that encompasses the living/dining/kitchen area. The bathroom is off of that room. It’s very quiet here in the woods, except for the serenade of birds and crickets. Will you see a bear? It’s very unlikely, but it is a rural setting in the woods. You are much more likely to see deer and rabbits and many birds. Guest access Feel free to cozy up to the fire pit for a relaxing evening. Other things to note We do have two dogs, Lucy and Max, who do spend a lot of time outside, mostly on our porch. Lucy is still very much a puppy and gets very excited to meet new people. I apologize if she tries to jump on you. She is in training and if she is a nuisance please let us know and we will put her up. We also have an aviary with finches. Please let us know if you’d like a look at them. It does require climbing stairs. Although we love animals, in an effort to keep the space as allergy free as possible we do not allow pets. Since it is a basement apartment, the bathroom had to be elevated to accommodate the plumbing. This makes the standing height in the shower/tub height 6’-1”. There is also one step up into the bathroom. There are many activities to do locally and within a relatively short distance. Below I've listed a number of points of interest and their approximate distance from where you will be staying.
