Testimonials
Nothing compares to a South Bass Island getaway with Birds Nest Resort, but don’t just take our word for it! Read what our guests have to say about their visits:
Stephanie – Quiet secluded area far enough away from downtown to get good sleep. Close enough to get back to town in under 5 minutes. The staff was super friendly. And the golf cart rental was the best deal on the island.
Rebecca C.- We wanted to steer clear of party hotels so I was happy to find the Birds nest. This place was so peaceful and laid back it was perfect to explore in our golf cart then come back to the cottages and relax without noise from other guests. I want to go back to Put-in-Bay just to stay here again. Pool was awesome for my girls too! Clean everything and loved the peaceful land it’s on.
Travis – We spent almost a week in a two bedroom cottage, and we would stay again in a heartbeat… Overall we had a great week and would not hesitate to stay at The Birds Nest Resort next time we visit the island!
Beth D. – The whole place is so cute and newly renovated. I love the pool area; the lounge chairs and tiki bar are a nice touch. The air conditioning, large fridge and microwave in the room are amenities that really make a difference. The staff and the other guests were all so friendly. I always try to book a room here when I stay on the island!
Steven – Loved our stay at Birds Nest. It was HOT outside but the pool provided a great refresh. The room was nice, cool and comfortable. The owners have recently remodeled the whole place. The grounds are well maintained and they obviously take a lot of pride in their place. It was a plus to be out of town in a quiet area as well.
