Cozy stay

The only thing that we were surprised at was by how fast the turn came up for the house, but once we flew by one time, we were prepared and it was easy to find after that.It is a very cute, clean and cozy place. I was wishing we were there in nicer weather as the view is spectacular, and the fire pit and grill area were very nice.Loved the paths that were mown into the field for easy exploring.It was a very easy distance to town, and everything about our stay was just easy.

Stay at the Bird cottage

Such a peaceful and relaxing stay, that gets you away from the big city feeling, and appreciate all that a countryside provides, star gazing, bird watching, deer, cows, beautiful sunrises, wine from the vineyard, and evening campfire. If you are looking for a peaceful place to get away from your daily hustle this is the place for you.

Perfect for a weekend getaway

We love this property and have stayed multiple places. The kitchen is perfect for making your meals when not shopping in town. Beds are comfy. Couldn't use the fire pit due to weather but we loved sitting around it on our prior stay. Could use new towels and linens for the pull out sofa. Also, there is a hair dryer despite the listing saying they don't have one.

Amazing Cabin with Amazing Views

Can't say enough about our stay at Bird Cottage. It was the best. The cabin is delightful and the views breathtaking. Would love to come back in the fall just to see the view when the trees are changing colors. We loved sitting out on the front porch and watching the birds. So many different varieties (and we're not even birdwatchers). We also saw deer, rabbits, squirrels, and even a raccoon who literally walked 15 feet from us when we were enjoying a fire in the firepit. The cabin itself was exceptionally clean and comfortable with plenty of room for the two of us. Our pup loved long walks up the lane or around the vineyard. Doesn't get much better than Bird Cottage.

Perfect winter hideaway

We booked the bird cottage in winter for a centralized place to stay. We knew we would be skiing at chestnut mountain but also wanted easy access to downtown Galena. The bird cottage was perfect. Super cute, secluded, and stocked to be our perfect landing pad. My teens loved the pool table and sledding down the vinyard hill. I loved the bird watching, sunrises, fire pit, many bird books, and the tiny trail on the property. The beds and bedding were SO comfy and having 2 separate living spaces was a plus. 10 minutes go Galena and 15 from the ski hill. Perfect distances. The property management was very attentive when one small detail arose. I am already planning to come back with a girls trip in the spring.

My dream house

This was my first VRBO and I couldn’t be happier. I was in love with the country style of the home inside and the FANTASTIC views outside. The bird s, including a wild turkey, were so fun to watch and listen to. You’re set back so you don’t hear the road. sooooo peaceful. Inside, there’s literally everything you need. Towels, utensils, dishes and glassware and more. There was even ice and chilled beer mugs in the freezer. The beds were super comfy and I am picky trust me. Plenty of storage for your clothes. The pool table was fun! It was too windy to use the grill or firepit but they looked very inviting. Staying there gave me the comfort you feel when you visit a family member that makes you feel at home. To top it off there was a complementary bottle of red wine from their vineyard. I usually get headaches from red wine. Not this one! He also gave us a bottle of rose that we will have at Easter tomorrow Don’t wait. Book this now!

What a beautiful property! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location is great, being close to Galena. The views are amazing, overlooking the valley, hearing the cows in the distance. Loved all of the birds, which entertained us during the whole stay. We will be back soon!
