About this property

Family & Pet friendly Bird House near Fall Creek Falls

Welcome to The Bird House and thank you in advance for considering us as your home away from home during your travels. We understand you have many options and appreciate you looking at our guest house where you’ll find just about everything you need. The Bird House is on the property with one other house. Both houses share a drive way, but do not share yards or parking. Once at the Bird House, it is a very private and quiet space.
Starting when you pull in, you'll notice the property is in the woods and is surrounded by trees and plenty of wildlife. Early mornings and evenings there are always deer around. There is a fire pit where you can enjoy roasting hot dogs and marshmallows or just sit around on the benches or make use of the picnic table to eat outdoors while enjoying the crackle and pop of the burning logs from the firewood provided.

When you walk up the steps onto your deck, you'll immediately see bistro patio furniture and a 2 burner propane grill just in case you feel like cooking out one evening!

Enter the house through the French doors and you're inside the fully equipped kitchen, side-by-side refrigerator, dishwasher (there is dawn and dishwasher detergent under the sink), tempered glass topped stove, microwave, toaster, dishes, pots and pans and utensils, and my favorite, the coffee station!! Here you can brew an entire pot or use the Keurig to brew coffee, tea, or cocoa by the cup. You'll also find a fully furnished, complimentary, k-cup tree, cream, and raw sugar & stevia. There is also a snack basket.
There is a table and chairs and a bar with stools so there are plenty of places to sit and enjoy the foods you prepare!
You'll also notice a laundry closet in the kitchen with a washer and dryer and laundry detergent and hypoallergenic fabric softner sheets available included In case you're enjoying your meal outdoors., there are also picnic dishes in the laundry area.

Now, if you'll move with me into the living area, you'll find a very comfortable sofa and lobe seat (plenty of space for everyone to sit), a coffee table, a 42" TV, smart TV with Angel Studios, Great American Pure Flix, Prime, and many other apps, and high speed Wifi internet. However, if you're trying to disconnect, you'll also find books and board games in the cabinet.

Down the hall, you'll find a coat rack, a map of Fall Creek Falls, and access to both bedrooms.
The bedroom to your left is the Master bedroom. Here you'll find a queen size bed (that doesn't squeak) with a memory foam mattress, a walk in closet with hangers, and a full bathroom that provides clean towels & wash cloths, shampoo, conditioner, soap, and lotion, and of course toilet paper.
Across the hall is the second bedroom. It too is a queen Seally mattress (that doesn't squeak), a closet with hangers, and a full bathroom with fresh clean towels & wash cloths, soap, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. This bathroom is also accessible from the kitchen. If you forgot anything else, check under the sink, it just might be there.

Every room is equipped with ceiling fans, lamps, & over head lighting. There are plush throws also for your comfort.

This is a very quiet, family friendly, pet friendly environment. Come relax in the Bird House!

Please talk to us about your pets. We do charge a pet fee if you're bringing your fur baby. This is non-negotiable even if you have what is considered a hypo-allergenic pet like a poodle. However, it does reduce your pet fee.

Not all dogs are created equal. A 5lbs poodle is not equivalent to an 85 lbs Labrador. Tell us about your fur baby's breed and weight for more information.

Always a Good Stay!

It’s always a good stay at The Birdhouse. From the easy check-in to the thoughtful touches (looking at you cinnamon rolls and treat basket) to the just needs a lite firepit, we keep coming back to this place. Conveniently nestled between our three favorite state parks, we love the location and the secluded nature of the property. Highly recommend The Birdhouse and Mitch & Lori!

Fall Break Getaway

The Bird House was a nice and comfortable spot to stay at while we was visiting on Fall Break for our children. It had plenty of space and a lot of extras (games, condiments in fridge, spices, extra food in kitchen, laundry detergent, dryer sheets and dishwasher pods). We loved it.

Perfect, quiet and relaxing

The Bird House is amazing and you wont be disappointed. The hosts were great, helpful and thought of all the details. Everything was clean and updated. Fire wood is provided for a nice evening fire. A home away from home. We would definitely come again. This location is on a quiet road and is close to many awesome TN state parks.

Superb

I have stayed at 2 other properties in the area and this surpassed my expectations comparatively. The others did only the minimum in decorating, supplies, and bedding. The birdhouse was the closest thing to home I have ever found. Beautiful home and property with managers that care beyond any expectations.

Home away from home. All you need to bring is yourself/family, clothes and tooth brush (LOL). Lori and Mitchell are great communicators. Plenty to do in surrounding areas. We highly recommend to family and friends as our forever home is being built near. Already planning to come back with family next year.

Amazing and would love to visit again

Great option to unwind away from our suburban life. Mitch and Lori provided many thoughtful amenities. Also theres a Walmart about 20 mins away for any groceries etc. Icing on the cake was the treats they left for our pet snd the super organic eggs they shared when we were checking out. If you love hiking in all the nearby parks, give this a go. With so many beautiful waterfalls you are going to love your time and create fond memories

Not what we expected

It was clean and cute but it is a garage apartment which you cannot tell from the pictures so it was not what we expected. The master bathroom does not have a door so when you sit on the toilet you are looking at the bed. We did not like that at all. Again it was very clean and close to parks for hiking but not sure if I would go back.

Great get away

Let me start by saying we had an amazing time. It was so beautiful and so quiet. I will say I was surprised when pulling in that the houses were right next to each other. I assumed they were further away from each other, but with that being said we never saw our neighbors. It felt very much like we were the only ones there. The houses are not connected. I would come here a million times again. It was very clean. Everything that is in the description is very much true. Loved the coffee station. Loved all the little extras. Thank you so much for having us! If we come back to the area we will for sure be booking again! Don’t pass this one over!

Felt like coming home!

From the minute we walked onto the welcoming deck we knew we picked a winner. It was so peaceful we see deer, burds nesting and even chickens. It was so quit that I was able to hear the deer walking through the eoods and get them on video. The house had everything you needed and things you didn't think you needed. Like set your analec, handles for the outside deck. She kept them mosquitoes away.What's really worked. It was my birthday weekend and me and my friend went for the weekend. Things like this 2 girls alone in the house. I never felt safer. It was close to some amazing parks. Beautifully decorated I would definitely suggest people stay there.We are hoping to be back.

Why they chose this property

It is super clean, super quiet, super homey, and super comfortable. You can't go wrong staying here.

What makes this property unique

If you have a fur baby you'd like to travel with, please contact us with the weight and breed of you pup. Pet fees are negotiable as we understand not pets are created equal. We do understand that poodles do not shed, however, dogs sweat through their feet and so there will always be a pet fee no matter what, but certain breeds and weights garner different fees. If you have a poodle or a 5 lbs dog, you should not have to pay the same fee as someone with an 85 lbs Labrador. So tell us about your fur baby so we can set an appropriate fee for you.
Keep in mind that multiple small dogs will be treated as one larger dog when setting the fee.
