On our very first night my wife developed a gum infection and swollen very badly. We were forced to leave the very next morning. I understand the no refund policy but really thought the owner would be more understanding. Owner response was no refund policy. Very surprised. Also be aware that besides open air courtyard it is basically a one room affair. Really thought the place was larger than that. If the weather isn’t nice you’re basically in just the one room. ##### Gary H. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie S.

Everything good you have read in past reviews is true. We arrived during the time of poor air quality due to the Canada fires so had to adjust our exploration of the area to inside attractions and we found much to do. Carol and Phil were always available to support our stay and the blueberry scones are superb. Farm fresh eggs made a wonderful frittata. The cottage shows the knowledge of a great host, interior design and expert construction. Then outdoor patio is lovely from early morning to sunset. Great place. ##### Linda D. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa K., Clayton, North Carolina Dec 20, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Christmas Cottage at the Bird House We had a wonderful weekend at the Birdhouse ! We were welcomed with a warm plate of freshly baked blueberries scones at this lovely appointed cottage on the farm. Beautifully decorated for the holidays, it had everything we needed. Even dog bowls, couch covers and grain free treats for our fur babies. Pete and Carol have thought of everything. We cannot wait to return for another visit. Be sure to say hello to the local emu, chickens, donkey if time permits ! Such a wonderful experience all around. Thank you !! ##### Melissa K.
