The house and amenities were attractiveThe bed was not good for me. I have back issues and for some reason the bed set them off. My husband slept fine. My dog loved the fenced in yard and the house and screen room as she could play easily. Loved the screen porch and the areas for sitting in the yard. Just looking at the water was soothing. Walking the dog in the neighborhood presented many rundown homes which was sad to see. It was such a surprise given the Bird House and the attentiveness to that and some of the other properties. Hopefully the city will address some of the immediate area blight. Overall, we felt safe at the house and property and would recommend friend and family to stay.

It's truly a natural paradise! Enjoyed our coffee on the porch,while watching the cardinals,woodpecker,and hummingbird.

The Birdhouse is a very special place for a couple and a furry friend. A peaceful setting which is close enough to all the activities, restaurants and shopping. Who knew rocking on the lovely screened porch while watching the beautiful cardinals feed would be the highlight of every day?!

Peaceful Adventure

There are not enough words or space allowed to describe this wonderful destination. The Birdhouse and its owner, Dana, is one of the best VRBO experiences we have ever had. The house is so clean, comfortable and has everything you need. From the tasty goodies in our welcome basket to the expansive screened porch to watch the river flow by. Kayaks, a charcoal grill, hammock, firepit and chairs on the dock to sit and have your morning coffee. What a great place to unwind, unplug, relax and take in the beauty of nature. The proximity to everything you may need or wish to visit is perfect. We highly recommend for any time of year and will return again soon.

Paradise for you and the pups!

The birdhouse is truly magical! Dana is a wonderful host. Very communicative And accommodating. The location of the house is perfect. Everything you need is within a short drive if you decide to even get into a car. By boat is better or paddleboard! Our pups loved the enclosed fenced in yard. The yard is huge! They had a nice room to run around, play, and explore! One of our favorite things about the home Besides, it’s wonderful natural beauty was that you never felt that your dog was not welcome. The home is perfectly designed for pups in mind making sure you feel relax while your pups enjoy the outdoor space and the indoor space as well. We will definitely 100% be back! This is the go to place for a getaway with your dogs!
