Mike and Jennifer we excellent hosts! The instructions were very clear, the house was very clean and exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this little house while you are visiting your SIT or soldier while they are in training. Very easy to get to, and close to base! Thanks again for a cozy place to stay!
Great place, perfect for Family Day & Graduation with our soldier!
This place is exactly as advertised, clean, updated and very close to Fort Leonard Wood. It had everything we needed and they did a great job decorating the place and having all the essentials to cook and stay there! Highly recommend!
The Nest is welcoming, cozy, and comfortable. Mike and Jennifer go out of their way to provide a home away from home. The space is filled with books, games, and tons of info about local attractions. On top of this, they provide those little extras you may forget while traveling - toothpaste, body wash, etc. They even make sure the cupboards have more than basic spices with a fully appointed kitchen. Honestly, this is the best, most welcoming vacation rental we have stayed in.
This property was great! We enjoyed our stay. Cleanliness is of utmost importance to me. This did not disappoint. Very clean and comfortable. Mike and Jennifer leave no stone unturned. They have thought of everything!
Very nice updated home. Super clean, one of the cleanest VRBOs I've stayed at. Super quiet neighborhood. Also, the house must be very well insulated as you can barely hear outside noise. Our only complaint would be the dehumidifier that is quite loud and runs almost constantly. Other than that, we'd definitely stay at the nest again if we were traveling to the area.
This place was really cute and made you feel relaxed. The place had everything you could ask for and the location is just man quiet area with the forest to the back of the house. The hostess awesome. We had issues with the door code and he was Johnny on helping us. It is a great place to stay if you are visoting Ft Lenard wood .

Quite literally the best hosts I’ve ever had! Thank you for sharing your beautiful space with us!
This was 5plus stars! Quiet, clean, cozy, just perfect. Outside firepit, few neighbors, nothing but trees in the back. Beds comfy and very welcoming!!close to Fort Leonard wood where we went. Great food nearby. Great communication with the owners. You definitely should stay! I was there 3 nights, and enjoyed every second! Games to play books to read!
The host left a kind note for us (our family is going through a difficult time) and some complimentary chocolates. There are so many homey, personal touches throughout the home. The house was very clean, and I am particular about cleanliness when staying somewhere for a trip, so that’s saying a lot! If I need a place to stay again in this area, I will certainly book this property again.
I was impressed, the house was very clean. I loved the way they have cleaning supplies on hand and left little snacks out for us. My soldier (son) got to come and get comfortable away from home before he had to return back on base.
My family choose to stay in this beautiful clean and recently renovated home while attending Boot Camp Graduation at Fort Leonard Wood. It was minutes from the base, close to local and franchised restaurants, and quick and easy to get to from the highway.Owner left little treats, such as chocolate and a note, that made the stay feel personable.I would definitely rent from this Owner again if needed.
The Nest is Fantastic! Extremely clean, all new furniture and appliances. Sheets and towels are all great. Very nice back deck. Very quiet and peaceful.Some neighboring properties are somewhat rundown, but absolutely no noise, issues, concerns.I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful upgrade from a hotel, especially for a longer stay.We look forward to our next trip and stay at The Nest.
Mike was very responsive to all my messages. Left a kind note and some chocolate. The check in process and check out process was very easy. The house was very clean, beautiful, cozy, and had everything we needed. 100/10 experience for our first time using Vrbo
The place was perfect for what we wanted. We were attending our daughter’s graduation at Fort Leonard Wood. Perfect location for that only like 10 min from the base. We were able to bring her there during her family day and after her graduation to spend quality time and have her back by 6 no problem. The place was clean and was perfect. Would stay again if ever back in theat area
The Nest was the perfect place, clean and homey. We were in town for my sons basic training graduation and it is just 10 minutes from Fort Leonard Wood. A curtain fell from the wall and Mike responded within the hour and arrived that evening to repair. Overall 5 starts.
I stayed here at the nest for my son’s graduation from Fort Leonard Wood. It was very close to base. The stay was perfect. There’s a cute back deck that’s brand new with a Firepit and bbq grill. I didn’t use but none the less it’s there.
The entire residence I’m prettt sure is brand new. The beds were comfy, the temperature was comfortable and there was coffee!! Overall 5* and if needed I would stay here without a doubt.
The “Nest” was the perfect stay for 3 days while our son graduated from basic training at Fort Leonard Wood.
Mike was prompt on his responses and the pictures on VRBO looked exactly as the house itself.
It was nicely located within 15 minutes from the base and a lot of food options in the area.
We really enjoyed that our 2 dogs could come and the fenced in backyard was perfect for them to run and play.
I would definitely recommend this house if you’re looking for a place to stay while in the area.
The experience was one of the best VRBO rentals we’ve stayed at.
Thanks Mike for sharing “The Nest” with us!
