The place is beautiful inside and out. The furniture and bed is so comfortable and the bathroom is awesome! Dean and Kathleen are excellent host and so sweet. It is so quiet and peaceful and loved seeing the birds, chipmunks and deer. Would have loved to sit out on the patio in the morning but just never found the time. We loved everything about staying at this place!

If you’re looking for a beautiful, restful retreat off the beaten path, this is it. Friendly, hospitable and informative hosts. Clean, quiet, comfortable, and amazingly well stocked. The perfect place for an individual or couple to escape the rat race.

A Beautiful Property

Birdsong was a great place to relax and unwind in a quiet wooded setting. The apartment was just as pictured on VRBO - immaculately maintained and nicely decorated. Our hosts were both very thoughtful and welcoming. We would definitely stay there again.

Thank you Nancy. You were able to see a changing of the seasons and the trees turning color and then the leaves raining down to the ground. Even with all of this activity, Birdsong, nestled amount trees, is peaceful and relaxing. We are glad you were able to experience this tranquility and we look forward to seeing you again.

Terrific hosts that have a wonderful, well appointed place to relax and enjoy. The walkway to the font door is like walking through a forest that included a waterfall with a Koi pond. Anything we needed was available to us throughout Birdsong! Would definitely recommend!!!

Tucked away yet not far from town, Birdsong is a real gem. A path welcomes you from the parking area as it winds past a small waterfall & fish pond to a beautiful patio with table, umbrella & chairs. Once inside you'll find everything you need bathed in the ample natural light & under the cathedral ceilings. Kathleen & Dean are caring, generous hosts, also real gems.
