The cabin was one of the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in. It had everything you could want and lots of snacks to go along with it. The views were great super quiet neighborhood. The decks were awesome. Had no problems at all. Everything was great. Would recommend would stay again.

Raven's Nest
We really enjoyed our stay at Raven's Nest, it was very clean. Screened in yard was great, I really like the extra measures that were taken to make sure your dog couldn't get out. We picked the right time of year to come, because it was just beautiful outside with the trees changing colors around the lake. We would definitely stay here again.

Our visit to Raven’s Nest was exactly what our family needed. It was quiet and peaceful. The sunrise every morning over the lake breathtaking. Check in was a breeze. Everything that we needed was at our fingertips. Thank you for sharing your home with our family.

Great Lake House!
very nice time! everyone enjoyed it, had all that we needed for a comfy stay, loved the screened porch, kayaks and Lilly pad. Best part of all? DEER! They came right up to the front door and we loved feeding them the corn the homeowner provided in the closet. So neat!

Felt Right at Home
Beautiful home & the view was OMG day and night!! With the fenced in backyard, even our pup enjoyed the stay. Everything we could have needed was provided. A short drive to Cullman for groceries and we were set for the stay. The check in and out process was simple. Deer visited the front lawn almost daily and a few bunnies too. We enjoyed our downtime @ Raven's Nest - I have no doubt you would too.

Amazing place
We wanted to get away from the world and destress. This was perfect! No people, no one bothered us, the cleanliness was fantastic. It was exactly as advertised. We will be back! Ravens Nest is a dream home. Our dogs enjoyed their time there as well. We could not have asked for anything more.
