This is my third stay at The Bird's Nest and it never disappoints! The house has everything you will need, including washer/dryer to wash those hiking clothes after you explore the on-site waterfall hike. Take advantage of the local natural areas for exploring, or visit The Caverns for a unique concert experience. My favorite part about this particular home is the outdoor fire pit . It is tucked between two tiny homes a perfect setting for a group gathering. Get away to The Bird's Nest!

Nice Weekend Getaway & Show at Caverns

We had a great two-night stay at the Bird's Nest with another couple. It was very cozy, clean and we loved the location. Very convenient to the Caverns and a lovely spot in general.

It was okay but layout was poor for us in the bathroom and bedroom - too cramped.

Great little spot in the great outdoors!

We really enjoyed this tiny home in the woods! The fire pit is nice, and there is plenty of wood to burn. Kitchen is well stocked. The only thing that would make it better is a hot tub!

Wrong cabin but great experience

Thank goodness it was still barely daylight when we drove up or we would have never have found our cabin. There were ample directions for how to arrive at Deer Lick but none that described how to get to our specific cabin. We were given 75B as the address and we never saw a 75B. Nor did any of the cabins have signs with their names! I had the pin code for the door and literally had to go around door to door to the cabins that looked empty and resembled the pics of the one we rented. I tried all the keypads with our pin code until it opened the door. The cabin that unlocked with our pin code was NOT Bird's Nest. We can see from the VRBO site that the cabin we stayed in was "Tiny Haven". No worries, it was the perfect location in a little cul de sac in the woods and very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend Deer Lick to other people. But PLEASE give more detail in the directions. And to new travelers, arrive before dark!
