We loved the look of Nestlenook.

It felt like we were walking around the grounds of a real-life dollhouse blanketed in snow.

There are also tons of lights around the property.

My favorite was this beautifully lit-up bridge.

We saw it both while we were walking around and from a distance on our sleigh ride.

Jackson is just such a beautiful winter town.
