It was comfortable for 5 of us and convenient to family in the area. We loved the soft fluffy towels! We didn’t cook much but found all we needed. The welcome basket, coffee and filters was much appreciated, especially since a store is not nearby.

Great house in great location. The entire experience could not have been easier or better. If you are looking for a nice place if you’re visiting the area, do not hesitate. Extremely convenient to Hawk Mountain sanctuary. Walmart about 15 minutes away if you need provisions. We couldn’t have been happier.

We loved the Hawk’s Nest. We stayed here for a birding trip to Hawk Mountain and the location was perfect. Clean, comfortable and in a tranquil, wooded setting. We enjoyed watching the deer and birding right in the yard. Will stay here again if we are lucky enough to return!

Such a beautiful home and property. It was spotless and the host went above and beyond making us feel right at home with extra touches helping us with our stay. They provide EVERYTHING you need for a stay away from home. 11 out of 10! The owners have done an amazing job from decor to entertainment extras (we loved the foosball and little indoor putting) and the fire pit outside. Communication was excellent. Will be staying again when we come back to visit family.

This property was great for our stay. The kitchen was one of the best for the amount and quality of china, glassware, cutlery, pots and pans, etc. The wifi was great and the tvs in the bedrooms were a plus. Check in was easy. The host responded qyickly to any questions. Although the location was definitely rural, access to resturants, gas, and groceries was only 15 mins away.

Bird Heaven

We stayed at this property specifically because of its proximity to Hawk Mountain Sanctuary - a very short trip down the road to the sanctuary gates. It was more than we hoped for. The house itself is spacious and lovely; Tara left not only an assortment of snacks and treats, but also some delightful samples of lotion, soaps, and shampoo and conditioner from a local lavender farm (what a heavenly smell!). The backyard of this house was unbelievable - as a group of bird nerds in the area for spring migration, we were thrilled to wake to a lively chorus of warblers, cardinals, jays, finches, sparrows, and other songbirds. An eastern towhee even visited us this morning; he poked around the grass and sang to us from a few feet away. In the evenings we saw deer and the resident chipmunk, and even a red squirrel! The house check in and check out processes were super clear and easy. Tara was responsive and checked in to make sure all was well, and made recommendations when we needed them. 10/10, would definitely stay again.

Beautiful place in the mountains. Snacks and waters when we arrived. Fully stocked kitchen, quality linens/towels, comfortable beds and a short distance to Hawk Mountain sanctuary trails. 15 min drive to local restaurants (food was excellent). Tara answered questions promptly and checkout process was simple. We will def be back. It was a great family trip.
