We love the location. The view from deck is awesome. The house is beautiful and very clean. We really enjoyed our stay during Graduation weekend. It's less than 15 minutes from Appalachian State University. Very convenient location.

Great place to share time with friends
The cabin has a great layout and is well appointed. It has enough communal space but also areas you can retreat to for a nap or reading a book. The driveway is an adventure. All in our party were adept in four wheel drive and mountain driving, but it was an intimidating climb. The only complaints we have is that the hot water tank made ALOT of noise when taking a hot showers and there weren’t any real checkout instructions. Neither of which would prevent us from returning!

Spacious Cabin Get-Away
This beautiful cabin is just like it’s pictured! Lots of space (we had 7 adults and 2 dogs) and we were never tripping over each other! Definitely need a SUV to get up the winding steep driveway (but you are up in the mountains)! Great place and would rent again.

Peaceful Mountain Retreat
Scheduled a short getaway while our adult children came to town for a visit. This was the perfect place to relax and spend some quality time as a family. Beautiful property, the house was warm and inviting and the deck was amazing! Ultra clean and felt homey. Appliances were top notch and great for making a family meal. Thank you for sharing this piece of paradise with us!

Everything was just as it was listed
We were in NC for a family wedding in Boone. This home was a great location to the event and many other shopping, hiking, and other activities. The house is just as it is listed. A bigger car is needed to tackle the driveway, which is mentioned. We had everything we needed to cook and stay in when we wanted to. Pool table and the large selection of books were also a hit.

College Move In
We stayed at Birdhouse during the move in of our daughter to her first apartment in Mountaineer Village. She is a sophomore at App and the family came along as a mini-vacay and move in support. The house was beautiful, clean, and the kitchen was very well stocked for all of our needs. The house is close to App and downtown Boone so very easy to access all the area has to offer. Birdhouse was open to our daughter’s dog for a few nights but we found that walking the dog was challenging with the slope of the property and minimal yard space. The driveway was definitely steep for our sedan and mini SUV (Nissan Rogue).Other than those minor issues, the house was perfect!!

Wonderful Family Find
This house was perfect for the whole family with a nice large deck with plenty of seating and grill. 3 stories so everyone had their own space. Kitchen was well stocked. Pool table was a big hit as well! The leather furniture throughout the home was SO comfortable and very aesthetically pleasing. Thanks for sharing your home for such a reasonable price! Michelle

Steep driveway
Absolutely wonderful experience at a beautiful cabin. I only wish the listing mentioned that the gravel driveway is very steep. It was not easy for me to drive up in my front wheel drive car after a big rain. Thankfully, we had 2 cars between the 5 of us and the other car was a Jeep. Aside from not wanting to make the last turn of the driveway, our experience was wonderful.

Beautiful spacious cabin!
Loved our 5 night stay in this cabin. Very clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. A new wrap around deck has been added that wasn’t shown in the photos….a nice surprise! Amazing views. We spent lots of time sitting out on this deck. Bed are very comfortable and kitchen has everything you need. Driveway could be a problem in the winter without 4 wheel drive. It was a great stay! Thank you.

Dream Home away from home
The properly did not disappoint. It was clean, well maintained, spacious and everything worked. The internet signal was good, had great water pressure and the beds were comfortable. The location was great BUT the gravel driveway is quite steep for a regular vehicle and there was no traction. We got stuck and we ended up packing at the bottom of the driveway. Other than that we had a great experience.

Beautiful home in a great location!
This house is amazing!! You can tell it is professionally cleaned before and after each stay, the house was immaculate. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals. The bed room descriptions were accurate with 2 king suites (both with private bath), and two queen bedrooms (one with an additional daybed) on the top floor with shared hall bathroom. The bedrooms were all large and spacious. One thing that is not mentioned in the description and was a pleasant surprise was that the homeowners recently added a new, large outdoor deck that overlooks the front of the house and has Adirondack chairs for lounging. We had a great time sitting out there with a cup of coffee in the morning! The main level seating room was so cozy and had comfortable furniture with plenty of seating. The pool room in the basement level was so much fun! Location is fantastic and in a gated community. About 12 min drive to Boone and major grocery stores, Walmart, etc. 25 min drive to Blowing Rock and 25 min drive to Grandfather mountain. The gravel driveway leading up to the house is steep. But we had no problem driving our two front-wheel drive sedans up to the house (granted, we stayed in the summer. I would say 4WD is required in the winter months). Overall, a great place to spend 4th of July weekend. We would love to stay here again in the future!

What a spacious and private house only minutes from Boone! The house is nicely furnished and has everything you need to enjoy cooking in but it’s an easy drive to dine out. Very comfortable, clean and nice Mountain Views. We will stay again. It is on a steep grade but we were prepared. 4 wheel drive vehicles and good shoes do the trick.

Tree Top Getaway
We had a fun and memorable stay at the birdhouse. We spent a lot of time together with our family. We recently found out a family member was diagnosed with a terminal illness and they requested we take a final trip together in the mountains. This location was the perfect fit for this request. We did have a learning curve to mountain driveways, we are flatlanders and accustom to flat roads near the beach. We were able to enjoy looking / listening to the mountains and wildlife (deer) while sitting on the deck and outdoor seating around the birdhouse. I would also like to note the fantastic internet service here our son was able to stream all of this shows. Thank You for allowing us to stay at the birdhouse.

Amazing mountain home
My family and I had a wonderful stay! Please note that the house sleeps more than the listing says. You can reference the photos for the correct amount of beds, but there are 2 bedrooms upstairs, 1 on the main floor, and 1 downstairs. We had ample room and thoroughly enjoyed the game room area! The house was clean, check-in/check-out was easy, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We hope to be back soon!

House beautiful. Everything that we needed for our family to enjoy. Driveway was gravel so we had some difficulty making it up the road without a four-wheel-drive. Just have to drive slow low gear and take wide turns. Kitchen could use additional small paring knife’s. They could also use a stopper for the sink so you can hand wash dishes. We come back again!
