This unique apartment is in the heart of the Snowy Mountains. If you are looking for a quiet retreat close to Lake Crackenback, The Ski Tube, Thredbo and Jindabyne then you have found it. Only a 3-minute drive from the apartment to the Ski Tube and Lake Crackenback, less than 20 minutes to Thredbo and 15 minutes to Jindabyne. The Nest is a compact, modern, 1 bedroom apartment with luxurious alpine decor, cosy wood fire, heated tile areas and a full size kitchen. The apartment is in a large house but it has private access, and courtyard area with a BBQ and outdoor seating to enjoy the afternoon sun. There is level access for people with mobility issues and the apartment has outdoor parking in front. The driveway to the house is about 800m long and is gravel. Due to the high altitude in this location, the driveway can have snow on it, particularly in winter and early spring. For this reason, an all-wheel drive vehicle with good tyres is recommended. There may be occasions during heavy snowfalls when the driveway is inaccessible and you have to walk up a steep driveway into the property. Consider this possibility before you finalise your booking.
Jill, Ian and Leah Foster are lifelong Skiers and snowboarders. Our home, high on the Crackenback Range is a unique place. With a 1 bedroom apartment attached to our house and a separate Tiny House we are glad to be able to share this special place with visitors. You may also meet the resident wildlife who live around the ridge and often come in close to visit in the mornings. You will defintiley meet Iggy and Dexter, our resident dogs who are friendly and fun. Just rememebr not to feed the wildlife or the dogs.
The Nest is on 100 acres of natural bushland on the Crackenback Ridge above Lake Crackenback. Wildlife frequently comes by early in the morning with Wallabies, Echidna, Wombats and occasional visits from Emu. You will also have visits from the resident dogs Dexter and Iggy who are friendly and fun. There is no access available to the house or the lawn area to the north and east of the house. The driveway to the house is about 800m long and is gravel. Due to the high altitude in this location, the driveway can have snow on it, particularly in winter and early spring. For this reason, an all-wheel drive vehicle with good tyres is recommended. There may be occasions during heavy snowfalls when the driveway is inaccessible and you have to walk into the property. For this reason, wintertime guests should be physically capable of walking up a steep driveway on snow.
