We had a wonderful time! Bianca was attentive and welcoming at every opportunity. The cabin was comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully decorated. It was when we got our car stuck (our fault) after dark on the road to the cabin that Bianca and team really won the day. Bianca sent her brother and two others to help in under 15 minutes. They had us safely moving again in unbelievably short amount of time. We were so humbled and grateful to them for their helpful generosity. We will stay here again, for sure (and take the curve on the road up the hill a little less tightly -- ha!).

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It had great views and was so comfy and cozy. We loved the fireplace and enjoyed having a fire almost every day we were there! It was the perfect place to be able to relax and enjoy our time away! The host was great and would get back to us quickly anytime we had questions. She checked in and made sure we had everything we needed. She was wonderful to work with.

This was an amazing long weekend. We arrived late Friday night so it was pitch black and being from Florida, the hills and mountains were a little intimating to drive at night. I am so glad we made it! It was worth it. The communication from the owner was incredible. She made sure that every aspect of the trip was great. She has an amazing little craft shop on the property that my mom shopped at. The view was breath taking. It was quiet and a great change of pass from our daily lives. 3 people stayed at the home and there was plenty of room for everyone to do their thing. It was clean and there were ample supplies. My only compliant is that we checked out on Monday, September 15th and it has been just over 10 days and I have not been refunded my security deposit which was quite large. We followed the instructions for check out and left the home clean. I have not been contacted about any issues or damage (which there was none). I will be checking in on that, but I will certainly stay there again.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the Songbird cabin. The view was spectacular! We were able to see Grandfather mountain, Seven Devil’s, and Beech Mountain both days. At night there was little light pollution, so we could enjoy lots of stars and see the vague outline of the Milky Way. The cabin was clean and comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful vacation and hopefully we will get to return soon!

Second stay just as amazing as the first!

My wife and daughter and I stayed at this cabin back in February 2021, and decided to come back in January 2025. Our stay was just as amazing as the first stay! The host was quick to respond to any questions we had before and during our stay. The property was clean and the view from the deck is incredible! Since we had been before, we knew to stop for food well before arriving since it is in a remote location. We preferred this for privacy and a peaceful setting. The driveway was a little slippery with the ice, so 4wd came in handy. We got to see snow falling the first night we stayed and enjoyed our trip. The property is beautiful covered in a blanket of white. We can’t wait to come back again!

I can’t say enough positive things about our stay at Songbird! It was everything we dreamed of for our “Christmas Mountain Trip”. Bianca is the best host we have ever had. The songbird cabin is so cozy. We hoped for snow during our stay & we got it! The views were amazing! This is definitely our new favorite cabin and we are already planning our next trip!

This is a must see bucket list kinda thing!!!!!

On fairly short notice I wanted to escape to a beautiful place in the mountains with my dogs. I found Bianca‘s rental and fell in love with the views! The photos were just stunning (which DO NOT do it justice!). This cabin did not disappoint! It’s absolutely breathtaking! I got to enjoy the seclusion of being on the farm while also having a lot of things in nature to do. We hiked around, took the kayak out on the pond and the dogs enjoyed swimming! The evenings out on the deck are amazing. The WiFi and my ability to connect was perfect (given the seclusion you just never know). The cabin is fully equipped with everything we needed, and Bianca was an amazing host. I’m looking forward to my next visit. I have a feeling this is my new getaway spot for sure!

Perfect getaway

My wife and I stayed at the songbird cabin for the week to get away from the city and could not have picked a better place. The location is beautiful, quiet and only 30 mins from Boone. The cabin itself was cozy, comfortable, and clean. It has everything you need to grill outside on the deck and enjoy the views. It was a wonderful experience and we can't wait to come back.

This was our fourth stay at Songbird Cabin and it was as lovely as ever. Could not ask for a more well equipped and clean cabin, it feels like a cabin without lacking any modern amenities or conveniences.

Perfect Cabin Getaway

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a weekend and will certainly plan a return visit soon! The host was very responsive and the cabin exceeded all of our expectations. Songbird Cabin was extremely clean, well stocked with all kitchen items, an abundance of firewood and even fire starters for the wood burning fireplace which we thoroughly enjoyed. The property owner/host really thought of everything to make their guests comfortable and it felt like our own private getaway for the weekend we were there. The view was incredible from the living/dining room and the huge deck. We loved how secluded the cabin was and how quiet the property was. As we pulled onto the dirt road to head up to the cabin we passed a beautiful Christmas tree farm and saw three deer near the pond. We plan to stay here again soon and look forward to our next Songbird Cabin experience!
