What a beautiful property! We thoroughly enjoyed the peacefulness of the place. Everything you need is there. The porch was a favorite hangout. We loved the large yard for exploring for our dog. Bed super comfortable. Easy access to springs and places to eat. We will be back, this place is a gem!

The Birdhouse is a very special place for a couple and a furry friend. A peaceful setting which is close enough to all the activities, restaurants and shopping. Who knew rocking on the lovely screened porch while watching the beautiful cardinals feed would be the highlight of every day?!

We love staying at the Birdhouse! Dana is an excellent host, providing a gift on arrival as well as charcoal for the grill. We enjoyed using the canoe one morning and rocking on the front porch is always enjoyable! The bed is very comfortable and we slept well.

Fantastic place!

Went there for my girlfriend's birthday weekend. Had a fabulous time! Beautiful spot on the Withlacoochee river literally a minute or two from Dunnellon boat ramp at City Hall. Gorgeous wild Florida scenery, majestic cypress trees, beautiful lawn and cabin, great Host. Would recommend and we will be going back!!
