We cannot say enough about The Nest, Pam, and how amazing our wedding was. Pam and her husband were so kind and generous, they invited us out to tour the property and gave us the full experience even though we wanted a small and intimate wedding. They treated us like family and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for our day. When it started raining, we found towels and umbrellas for our outdoor ceremony just in case. We dream about going back one day! Thank you so much for everything, it was our tiny wedding dream come true. We loved every bit of it, as did our family who stayed and enjoyed the property.

Wonderful wedding at the Nest
Mike and Pam were so hospitable, kind, easy to work with and worked so hard to make our daughter's wedding wonderful -- even in COVID times. The venue is awesome, very casual but stunningly beautiful. People had lots of room to spread out and enjoy the lovely setting. Our dinner in gathering room was lovely, and the cocktail hour and dancing in the pavilion area were great. The outdoor ceremony on the banks for the Swan River, with an arch made by Mike from Flathead Lake driftwood couldn't have been any nice. The accommodations in the and the Inn were also super. It turned out to be a perfect spot for a perfect day. Thank you to the Nest!
