Peace and quiet

This home is in a quiet area.
Ideal for a romantic getaway, family visit, or a travel assignment, ‘The Nest’, a 1930 cottage, offers charm, comfort, and a convenient location one block off Highway 24 and two blocks from downtown Brunswick, the Pecan Capital of Missouri. Walk 5 minutes to the famed World’s Largest 20th Century Pecan, shops and restaurants, the popular Sew Sweet quilting store, and the Grand River access.

The Host lives next door in the dark green house with the red door.

The space
We completely renovated ‘The Nest’ from the studs in 2012 to feature wood floors, a custom kitchen and bathroom, and a comfy carpeted loft with three full-size beds and an additional queen-size air mattress. This house reflects the solid German craftsmanship of the 1930's. If there’s a storm outside, you'll barely hear it!

‘The Nest’ has been decorated with artifacts from our worldwide travel and living, including a collection of artwork, photography, sea glass, and textiles.

The house has WiFi, a Roku TV and games in the living room.

Cook meals using the gas stove, oven, and microwave. Also available in the kitchen are a coffee maker, a Bullet blender, a toaster, and a Belgian waffle maker.

The pantry houses a washer, dryer, iron, and steamer for clothes.

Sit on the side deck at a bistro table or on the patio below.

‘The Nest’ is a non-smoking and non-vaping property.

This home has stairs from the street parking to the house, inside to the loft bedroom, and from the deck to the patio. Stairs could present a safety hazard for small children or people with mobility issues.

Guest access
Guests park on W. Harrison Street (formerly Hickory Street). Entrance to the house is via a smart lock.

Guests should be able to manage stairs (from the street to the front door, from the main floor to the loft bedroom, and from the deck to the patio area).

Guests have access to the main floor and loft bedroom. The basement is private and used only by the owners.

Other things to note
This is a strictly non-smoking and non-vaping property. If it is found that visitors have smoked in the home, they will be charged the security deposit.
