The Bird Nest- Bunkhouse, Sports Court, & Kayaks

Summary:
A DAY IN THE LIFE AT THE BIRD NEST
Start your morning with coffee on the patio, then hit the pickleball court or challenge the kids to basketball. Paddle out in one of the complimentary kayaks for lake front adventure before lunch. Spend the afternoon roasting s'mores by the fire pit, or hanging out in the river bunk house. Wind down with dinner on the deck and a peaceful evening by the water. The Bird Nest is made for memory-making, inside and out.

My family's whole experience here was great. The house was big enough for all of us and the bunk house was excellent for my oldest Sons family. They loved fishing off of the deck. The S'mores at the fire pit was very special. It was perfect.

We had a great stay. They were very responsive with any questions or concerns we had re: the place! The water in the lake was dirty and stagnant but got better as you went down the lake. Would definitely stay again.

2025 Annual Bluebonnet Sitings

My family stayed here during SpringBreak. We had an amazing time. The property was on the water with available kayaks and a pickleball court that was used daily. The house was very clean and furnished very nicely, just about every kitchen appliance you could think of was available. We visit this area every year and have never enjoyed a property as much as we did here. We will be back.

Christmas 2024

We stayed here for a Christmas family gathering and it was perfect. Plenty of dishes to eat from and cook with, good countertop space, a clean fridge, and room for the coffee pot one of the families brought for Espressos. Enough clean towels for everyone and the separate cabin worked well for one family. So very pleased with our stay.

Visiting Texas Family

The Bird's Nest was a pleasant place to call home for a few days. The house is well laid out. The kids loved the bunkhouse. Despite the normal humidity, we were able to play some basketball and pickleball on the sports court. The included kayaks were fun. All in all, it was a great getaway at a nice home.

Family Fun Trip

Our family of six stayed for three winter nights. We enjoyed the pickleball court, basketball court, fire pit, boat house, and fishing from the deck. The fish were small. We caught bigger fish from the pier at Inks Lake State Park. The house had everything we needed. HEB is nearby.
