****A Little About Our Home****
A quiet sanctuary, The Nest Chalet provides relaxation, privacy, the outdoors and quality time with friends and family, with a break from the day-to-day hustle and bustle.

Our property sits on old logging trails and the yard is perfect for running around with little ones or your pup. If you'd like to stretch your legs and explore, the path off of the driveway offers a short stroll in the woods.
