Mother of the Groom-Mother-in-law

The Nest on Swan River is owned/operated by a husband & wife. It is an absolutely beautiful place with breathtaking views, especially in the early morning and at sunset. It consists of several cabins on the property that were clean & available as guests arrived throughout the week for the wedding on Saturday The owners were pleasant & accommodating and always available if a question/concern cane up. There was ample space for my Grandchildren to play. And did I mention the view of the river from the decks of the cabins and the turkeys & deer that visited daily? Truly an amazing place for a wedding or vacation. I did not want to leave.

“A Hidden Gem”

We had our reception here in June 2022, what a beautiful spot! It’s magical, tucked close to the river, with trees, grass, a covering, room to dance, enjoy dinner, play cornhole.
Lots of guests agreed it was a hidden gem. The sunset was amazing, with orange and pink over the river. Simple enough to find, no concerns with parking out of the way, easy for vendors to setup. We had tents in case it rained, it didn’t (Pam used her superpowers). Pam was very accommodating and easy to work with, she’s so friendly and a good energy. Our reception truly was amazing, this venue is perfect - one visit and you’ll see why!
