Eco-Friendly Stays: A Greener Way to Travel with Nestwell

---

At Nestwell Stays, we believe that where you stay should not only feel like home but also care for the planet. That’s why our rentals are designed with sustainability in mind—from the way we power our spaces to how we reduce waste.

When you stay with us, you’re not just booking a place to rest—you’re joining a community that believes in living lightly on the earth while still enjoying modern comforts. Here’s what makes Nestwell Stays a truly eco-friendly experience.

We’ve made sure that everything inside our homes works efficiently while also being gentle on the environment. Our rentals include:

✔ Energy-efficient appliances – Our refrigerators, washing machines, and dishwashers use less energy and water, making everyday tasks eco-friendly without sacrificing convenience.
✔ LED lighting – These lights last longer and use less energy, keeping our homes bright while reducing electricity use.
✔ Recycling and composting – We make it easy for you to sort your waste responsibly so less goes to the landfill!

💡 Why does this matter? The less energy and water we use, the more we help protect natural resources and lower our impact on the planet.

We love supporting local farmers and businesses, and when you stay with us, you can too!

✔ Farmers markets nearby – Pick up fresh produce, bread, and dairy from local farmers and markets instead of buying food shipped from far away.
✔ Access to a community garden – Want to enjoy veggies straight from the garden? At Pringle Creek, you can see, learn, and even participate in growing fresh food!
✔ Food share programs – Our community believes in reducing food waste and making sure extra food goes to those in need.  We also have community meals and a discord channel for meal sharing! 

🥕 Why does this matter? When we buy local, we support small businesses, reduce pollution from transportation, and enjoy fresher, healthier food.

At Nestwell Stays, we don’t just talk about sustainability—we help our guests learn how to be part of it.

✔ Recycling and composting made easy – We provide step-by-step guides so you know what can be recycled and how to compost food scraps.
✔ Education on sustainability – Thanks to Sustainable Living Center of Salem (SLCS), guests can explore ways to live more sustainably through workshops, events, and educational programs.
✔ Smart water use – Our homes are built to use less water without you even noticing—plus, Pringle Creek Community uses a rainwater collection system!

🌎 Why does this matter? Small changes add up! Learning better habits while you travel can inspire new ways to live greener at home.

One of the best parts of staying at Pringle Creek Community is how close you are to nature, fresh air, and open spaces.

✔ Walking and biking trails – Ditch the car and explore the area on foot or bike.
✔ Wildlife and birdwatching – Keep an eye out for songbirds, woodpeckers, and even mallards right from your window!
✔ Green spaces to relax in – Enjoy parks, community gardens, and picnic areas without leaving the neighborhood.

🐦 Why does this matter? Spending time in nature reduces stress, boosts mood, and connects us to the world around us.

By staying at Nestwell Stays, you’re helping build a more sustainable future while still enjoying a comfortable, cozy, and modern stay. Whether you’re here for a month or a season, you’ll leave with a new appreciation for eco-friendly living—and maybe even some ideas to take home with you!
