Posted on Airbnb KatherineVerified Literally the most relaxed I’ve been in years. It was so peaceful, hot, but lovely. We saw goslings and fawn. It was just amazing and Lisa was an incredible host. We will definitely be back…hopefully sooner rather than later.Posted on Airbnb JordanVerified This was an amazing a truly unique stay - would highly recommend as your base for Yosemite and other natural areas in the region. Its exactly as pictured, very clean, and a beautifully custom built home that feels secluded, but is in a nice neighborhood and close to the town of Sonora. Lisa was very friendly and easy to communicate with throughout our stay with great local recommendations. This is one of the cooler Airbnbs you'll ever stay inPosted on Airbnb NidhiVerified We had a lovely romantic retreat. The house and grounds are lovely especially when the weather is nice. Appreciate the excellent wifi in the remote location!A note for tall people: My husband is 6'4" and had to duck around the ceiling beam in the living room.Posted on Airbnb CaseyVerified Fantastic place to stay. The pond and creatures in the area made it feel magical.Posted on Airbnb SanjnaVerified We picked this place bc dogs aren’t allowed in Yosemite. Stanislaus rainforest is a forest next to Yosemite where this bnb is. The entire stretch of forest is very dog friendly! 40 mins from pine crest which is like mini Lake Tahoe. Airbnb is super cute if you are a nature lover! Our husky loved roaming around the property and even took a dip in the pond water (would avoid if your dog is white) but she had fun!!Posted on Airbnb SaraVerified Incredible space! Private, peaceful and clean. Impressed with how equipped the kitchen and bathroom were and as stunning as the photos are, they truly don’t do justice to the beauty and energy at Bird’s Nest!Posted on Airbnb MatthewVerified The bird's nest feels like it came straight out of Lord of the Rings. A really unique place that makes connecting to nature super easy. My girlfriend and I loved the experience and wished we could stay for longer.Posted on Airbnb RyleeVerified The Birds Nest is gorgeous! It is the perfect place for a creative retreat, honeymoon, anniversary trip or even to get out of town. Lisa was so kind and hospitable and had so many restaurant suggestions and fun activities she recommended. The location is fantastic, it’s not too far from town but enough out of the way that it’s so quiet and peaceful. This beautiful little cottage has been one of my most favorite trips!Posted on Airbnb Andrew & NancyVerified This place is totally peaceful, great for recharging the proverbial batteries. The rental truly looks like something out of a fantasy story; it’s like 10 miles beyond cute. Guests should bring binoculars to watch the critters at the pond.Posted on Airbnb DougVerified This place is awesome and the host was great! At first, I was a little bummed when I realized it would be raining majority of the time I was going to be staying here, but it was actually amazing experiencing this place with that weather, and dare I say may have even made it more enjoyable than just having sunny days. The home itself felt cozy and comfortable and there was a family of geese wandering outside with all their little goslings foraging each day which sort of tied the entire picturesque stay together. Would definitely like to stay at this spot again during the warm summer and snowy winter.Load more
