We want to stay at Blue Jay's Nest again some time! It was convenient to our favorite breakfast restaurant, Pena's Place, and everything else we were interested in doing.
We loved the cabin and the location! We brought our pets and the area was very nice to walk them in. My only complaint is how loud the upstairs can be. Any step or movement from the upstairs neighbors would shake the house, which was really bothersome at night. Other than that, everything was perfect.
The cabin is very nice. It's small but very nice. I appreciated the the ceiling fans in the rooms and the beautiful double sided fireplace. The parking spot is tiny. I drive a Hyundai Palisade and anything longer would be hard to get in there or maybe I parked in the wrong place. We had deer in the yard at night. We would stay here again if in the area.
