We had a great time staying at the Birdhouse! The house was very clean and well stalked, and Kimberly was very communicative and responsive to any questions we had! She had some awesome recommendations for our kiddos ( both of which had a blast, and were begging to stay an extra night!). We will definitely be back!

Our family enjoyed staying at the birdhouse! The kids loved the game room (of course), spacious kitchen for cooking, all king beds, and nice outdoor spaces. We were spoiled with warm weather in late March and loved the screened porch for games and dining. Explored the territory a bit and it was almost like we were there by ourselves, certainly off season. Peaceful little getaway, so glad we did stayed here!

Great for hosting a large group!! It's the cutest house, we all couldn't stop commenting on how cute it was. Not far from main street at all either which was nice and it was a very quiet neighborhood!! Also clean and homey!

We had a great time at the bird house! The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to do a few meals at the house which is always nice. The house is really well taken care of and offers plenty of space to spread out. It was really easy to access and use the owner’s club, and our kids really enjoyed playing outdoor basketball and swimming in the indoor pool. Overall it was a great stay!

The house is even cuter in person with so many thoughtful details. The owners club was great too, the indoor pool is perfect for kids and the gym is large.

We had an amazing stay at Kimberly and Dan's Birdhouse. The house is decorated thematically - a little whimisical, very adorable. The beds were comfortable and all amenities were as described. The kitchen is well stocked with gadgets, making it easy to cook at home. We felt right at home and really enjoyed using the space. I think it would be even better in slightly nicer weather/summer - it would be great to use the grill, the firepit, and 3 seasons room! Kimberly and Dan were amazing hosts - clear and quick communication. We are especially grateful because the worked with us to stay a little late due to a blizzard and poor travel conditions. I would love to stay here again and highly recommend them!

The Birdhouse was such a fun place to stay. We had 4 adults and 3 kids. The adults had a great time relaxing, listening to records, and cooking dinner together. All the basic kitchen amenities were provided. The kids had a blast playing the arcade games and board games provided. We definitely want to stay here again.
