Etymology
Nestle comes from the old word nest, which means 'a bird's home'. Picture a nest hidden in tree branches; a house or village that nestles among trees is sitting in a safe, sheltered, partly hidden place like that. So, to say a cabin nestles in the woods is to say it lies snug and protected.
