Pros: Dana is a great communicator and host, the cottage and property are beautiful, especially the waterfront dock. Our dog loved the expansive and beautiful backyard, and Dana even had fresh flowers waiting for us.Cons: the pillows could be more comfortable and the refrigerator was a bit noisy, but not unbearable. Dana did come over right away to work on it when we let him know.Generally, it was a very pleasant day and we would stay again.

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?!

The cabin was extremely cozy for my husband, myself, and our lab. We loved the yard and the dock that sat right on the river. We saw a couple of alligators in the river our first night, so I would not recommend jumping in! Dana was extremely helpful and even left a dog toy for our lab. We sat on the porch almost every night. It was perfect for our few days away.
