I personally stayed at The Nest a few weeks ago with my boyfriend and it was AMAZING! From the bed being super comfy, the coziness of the atmosphere, and the magical hot tub, you’ll never want to leave. I highly recommend anyone staying to do the outside shower, it’s so nice and relaxing. Get yourself down to Hot Springs and stay.
