Perched on a 400 sqft deck The Nest offers an amazing views. The covered portion of The Nest is designed with an open concept, not completely waterproof as it opens to the hammock lounge and sky tent above. There is a small area of the nest that we call “The Egg” - a place to stay dry should there be rain. The Egg can be curtained off to utilize the air conditioner or heater. but please keep in mind that The Nest is still a tent with thin walls so it can still get warm on a hot summer day.
