Our party was a total of 18 adults, and we all fit comfortably. The home is beautiful and very comfortable. The one drawback was the treacherous walk from the house to the dock. We had one Senior Citizen with us who unfortunately couldn't join us when we were on the dock because she couldn't get to it. I didn't read any details in the description of the home that mentioned the extremely steep walk down the hill to get to the water.Other than that, the property was terrific, and we had a great time! ##### Carie L.

There are a lot of areas to hang out, but as the other people have mentioned in their review, the path to the dock is treacherous. I can't imagine trying to carry a cooler or a child down that path (the trek back up is actually worse). We only went down to the dock once because of the path. They should probably look into some stairs with landings. Other than the path to the lake, the place is great and I would stay there again. ##### David K.

The dock can handle this group with ease also. The hike from the house to dock...is horrible, way steeper than pictures lead on. We drove up and down most of the time, you do need a truck or 4x4 to make the drive with ease. I would definitely consider staying here agian! ##### David M.

Had a fantastic family reunion at The Birdshack. Everything was awesome. The only drawback was the steep walk to and from the dock. That hindered some of the older family members from getting down to the dock for family time. Otherwise it fit our group perfectly..More than enough play space inside the house and basketball outside. More than enough pantry and refrigerator space. ##### Erich S.

We loved the dock and luckily had a 4 wheel drive vehicle or you wouldn’t be able reach the water without walking down a very steep, precarious path. But we managed and really enjoyed our stay so much. Loved the firepit and screened in porch. The house could have been a little cleaner, and the metal bunk beds were very noisy but the wood ones were great. Kitchen was fully stocked but didn’t have very much silverware for large crowds. But honestly, none of those negative things would keep us from coming back, just nice to know before you go. ##### Margaret B. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessie K.

Such a large space for everyone to hang out. I read other reviews about the hike up the hill and how awful it was but as to be expected for the lake! The path from the house to the dock was in fantastic condition making the walk very doable and it was a great way to get in a little cardio while consuming so many calories that weekend 😉. But if you are traveling with older adults or someone not able to make the walk there is a very convenient drive that a truck or SUV can pull up right in front of the dock. Wonderful stay! Will be back! ##### Jessie K. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandy L.

A newly redesigned home with high end appliances that comfortably slept all 26 of us, had everything vacationers would want including a large kitchen, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, screened in porch overlooking the lake with breathtaking views, multiple televisions and sitting areas, complete household sound system, beautiful basement with a poker table, pool table, and full kitchen area. Although the walk to the lake is long and steep, it is well worth it. A beautiful dock area with a full bar, refrigerator, TV, and sound system. There is a new concrete path to the water, but it is steep. There is also a stone path on the opposite side where you can drive a truck or SUV that is AWD/4WD and park on the grass. The owners were great to deal with, and is a property we will look forward to staying again. ##### Sandy L. Stayed 4 nights in May 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth A.

Ours came from CR Golf Carts and I highly recommend them. We did find upon arrival that the house wasn’t as clean as we expected and would have liked. The house has a fantastic layout and the dock…..AMAZING!! We had so much fun listening to music and just hanging out on the dock when we weren’t on the boats or Sea-Doos that we rented. Those were rented from Montego Bay Marina which is just up the lake from the house. They were so great to work with and I also highly recommend them. Bring lots of towels but leave the paper goods at home. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and bathrooms were stocked with toilet paper. There were 2 coffee pots, 2 refrigerators in the house, 1 in the garage, one on the dock and a gas grill in the garage. All you have to do is ENJOY yourself and your family! We will definitely be back! ##### Elizabeth A. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shirley B. Jul 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful place to enjoy a great getaway or vacation We rented the "Birdshack" to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. Our seven children and their families(28 people)stayed here for 4 days. The house and dock area were way better than we expected. We found everything we needed for cooking and the wood supplied was great for making smores in the fire pit in the evenings. The dock was awesome and being able to watch TV and pipe in music was a great addition to an enjoyable time by the water. We enjoyed boating, jet skiing and fishing all day down by the water. Evenings were spent playing games and eating great food prepared by the family. Sleeping accommodations for all 28 people made for a comfortable stay. The screened in porch was nice for morning coffee and late night conversations minus the bugs. The steep paths that lead down to the dock were the only difficult trials we encountered, but we rented a golf cart for the older folks to be able to come down for the day. Although there were minor repairs that needed to be fixed through out the house, it would not keep me from renting this home again. The manager was very helpful and informative. I would recommend anyone with a large group or family to definitley stay at the "Birdshack"! ##### Shirley B. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark and Kate W. Aug 20, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great house and dock BUT needs a deep clean. Hard to review because of the dichotomy of the experience we had. Please read until the end. The house was wonderful for our big group. Lots of large family areas and huge (if disorganized) kitchen. The pantry was large and well stocked. Most of the bedrooms and bathrooms were wonderful. One bedroom was actually just a closet with no window. The dock area was fantastic. We spent many hours boating and swimming at the dock. We had to bring all of our own water toys as there is nothing available at the house. The screened deck and patio were lovely and enjoyable. There were two main drawbacks to the property. As noted by other reviewers, the hill going down to the dock is BRUTAL. Anyone with mobility or health issues will have trouble going down and up the hill. The biggest complaint we had was with the upkeep of the house. It is a pity that such a great property/house has NOT been kept up. Perhaps it was because our stay was at the end of the summer season but many places were dirty and disappointing. Major problems with cleanliness and upkeep. Some of the things we’re experienced were; Trash under beds from previous occupants Two TVs unusable because remotes were gone Broken kitchen drawer Dirty kitchen cabinets Mouse droppings in kitchen Mouse in master bedroom Broken chairs downstairs Dirty baseboards in many areas Advertised toiletries not there Filthy shower in master bedroom Problems with the induction stove ##### Mark and Kate W.

Jun 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Great property but has issues - dock is NOT easily accessible We had 3 generations come for a family reunion, ages 13 to 77. We had a great week and this was a beautiful area and home. This home has great TVs (however, we looked for over an hour for the dock TV remote and finally came upon it in a kitchen drawer w/ no batteries) & a beautiful covered patio on the basement level - great fire pit with bench and view of the lake. The screened in porch was a huge hit, as we could sit out there and enjoy meals with a beautiful lake view and no bugs! The dock has a wonderful bar area, bench seating and two picnic tables, as well as space to fish off the dock. However, we did have one massive complaint and that is access to the dock! There is a very steep concrete sidewalk that was even difficult for the teenagers to get up and down. On the opposite side, there is a very rocky, torn up, steep road. You really need to rent a golf cart to access the dock - an additional $500 added to our weekly expenses. This was not stated in advance of our rental agreement. Even with the golf cart you can only use it on the very rocky torn up dirt road and the elderly had a hard time with the bouncing. This was a big stress to our stay. Other issues included a shortage of towels, loud/squeaky door hinges, hair in shower drain and clogged drain, “do not touch” thermostat, not enough silverware, disorganized kitchen and toaster that only halfway worked. We would not stay here again due to the dock issue but hopefully they can improve this for future guests. ##### Hannah S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jordan P. Jul 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for large families We really enjoyed our stay here. We had a large family gathering (22) people and had plenty of room where we didn’t feel crowded. The dock is an amazing place to relax, listen to music and swim. Highly recommend this house for any large groups looking to enjoy the water. Caution on the very steep walk to the lake. We rented a golf cart and it was the best money spent. ##### Jordan P.
