The Bird house



The Bird house is right in the middle of the areas best attractions. It sits only 3 miles from Little River Canyon. While being only 4 miles away from DeSoto State Park. This cabin is perfect for a couples romantic retreat. Single bedroom, one bath cabin. The bedroom has a queen sized bed, a balcony leading out of the bedroom that overlooks the beginning of a 20 acre wooded lot. A custom large walk In shower with a clear glass door. Nicely decorated throughout and has a very warming feeling as soon as you walk in. Its fully stocked with kitchen utensils and pans. The cast iron skillets are to be used if you wish as well. We have a charcoal grill on the porch for those who like to cookout. The HOT TUB is a favorite among guest, perfect mood to light up the large outdoor firepit at night and sit back in the private hot tub, such a romantic and relaxing experience. The cabin sits at the front of a 20 acre lot that puts you right at natures door step. Great phone service and you can be in town within a 8 minutes drive. We are very close to Weiss lake at 17 minutes, Fort Payne reservoir at 10 minutes and Dekalb County lake at 20 minutes. So bring those boats and kayaks for some great fishing.


We are very communicative and will happily guide you to the areas best attractions whether it be Restaurants, Fishing, Hiking, Malls and so on. We love to help.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a fireplace and a coffee maker.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Birdhouse! So clean and quiet/private! We came to the area to visit nearby DeSoto Falls and Little River Canyon where we hiked all day, so the soak in the hot tub afterwards was amazing! There was so much in the area we didn’t get to do since we only had one full day, so we will definitely plan to stay at the Birdhouse again in the future!

Everything about this property is as described. We enjoyed the privacy and peacefulness. Listening to the crickets and owls at night was extremely relaxing and enjoyable. The cabin itself is absolutely gorgeous and has everything that you need for a short getaway from home. It also has the best hot tub that we have ever been in. The owner, Matt, is very helpful and kind. He is also extremely quick to respond to any questions that you may have during your stay. My husband and I will definitely return. We give the cabin and it's owner a perfect 10 out of 10 rating!
