Spacious, bright, clean and welcoming, every corner inside this place is a little oasis. Outdoors is very beautiful, and each area is spacious enough for groups to easily enjoy time together. I was a cook for the event, and found the main kitchen to be extremely functional, clean, and supplied with everything you need to feed a large group. Highly recommend, and I already know we will be returning."-- Kita T

I travel a lot for retreats and Green Nest is GORGEOUS and so spacious and the owners are SO intentional. They thought about every detail to make your experience as good as can be."- Chelsi, Wellness Retreat Host

★"The Green Nest Lodge provided the perfect environment for our all-team corporate retreat. The large dining room worked really well for all of us to come together and there were also plenty of comfortable spaces for us to break off into smaller groups. At the end of the day, everyone had their own private space to unwind. The hosts provided exceptional customer service and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and seamless. I would highly recommend the Green Nest for corporate retreats as well as large personal gatherings." - Jessica R, Corporate Retreat Host
