Everything was just as lovely and clean as when I booked the first time, in 2025 - it's the sort of place I'd retreat to if I ever needed to have a lovely little space to finish a novel in. Wasn't thrilled that the price had increased - but that's to be expected. A.

Marywinn was a phenomenal host! She made sure we had everything we needed and made sure before our trip that we were aware of the semi-private room situation, which was more private than we thought! The half wall separating the larger bed from the two single beds extends almost the full length of the bed.

The host was extremely quick in responding to any questions, accommodating and so easy to work with. The space is adequate and cute, extremely neat and clean. The bed was a bit smaller than we expected. The bathroom is a very tight fit. But for a tiny cottage, it's more than sufficient. I was able to activate my cable app so we could watch television as if we were at home. The internet connection is a bit slow but we managed. The cottage was perfectly located to the theater where we were attending a concert and to downtown. There are some questionable areas in and around Shelby. This Cottage is only a block or two from downtown and in a safe area. We enjoyed our stay and it suited our needs just fine. Thank you!

Fantastic Cottage

Birdsong is an adorable cottage & perfect place for me to stay while in town for several weeks. We were lucky that the flowers on the property were blooming so it was extra pretty! The cottage is close to uptown and 74, and is the perfect size for two people! Marywinn was wonderful and easy to deal with, quick to communicate and I highly recommend her property if you're staying in Shelby!

A little drive to downtown

The property was clean. Plenty of clean towels, high modern led mirror. The main bedroom is in the same room with two twin beds which is a bit different. We enjoyed the downtown area, but would say it’s a 5 minute car ride.

I'll never stay anywhere else

This is, without a doubt, the most comfortable, charming Vrbo (or AirBnb, for that matter), that I've ever rented - love the bird-themed decor! If ever I need a writer's retreat to finish a book, I'm coming here for a few weeks!

Short family trip

The house was very clean, neat, , and the shower was good. The sleeping situation wasnt good because of the open floor plan so it was hard to sleep, the main bed is FIRM so if you enjoy plush mattresses dont sleep here. The train is LOUD at night. The shower pressure was good but the shower is very small. The train was extremely loud both nights. The kitchen was cute with lots of utensils and extras if you want to cook. It was also very nice to have a washer and dryer. The owner was excellent with quick communication!! Very accomodating with late checkout. . The train
