Scenic and Cozy stay on the river
Driving into the property feels like entering a hidden garden! We felt welcomed and it was fun discovering all the little touches and details of this little house and beautiful property! Couldn’t ask for more and we hope to come back when we can use the kayaks and the KPHole passes!

Stacation to Rainbow Springs
The Bird House Cottage was the perfect nest for our visit to Rainbow Springs area. Dana has done a wonderful thinking ahead of everything a guest might enjoy. The cottage is beautifully and privately situated on the Withlacoochee River. We can't wait for our next visit.

Love the Birdhouse
We had a great time at the birdhouse. My husband and I with 3 dogs stayed for 1 week. We loved the house and the fenced in yard. We spent the evenings on the screened in porch watching the river and nature. We had frequent visitors at the bird feeder and a hummingbird that visited every morning and evening. Rainbow springs was beautiful. The house had everything we needed for our visit, including everything we needed to visit the parks. The host responded quickly to questions we had. We would love to stay there again. Highly recommend

Magical
Truly magical, we will absolutely be back next year. Dana is an incredible host. He thought of every little detail from the bread and jam cold waters in the refrigerator when we arrived passes to KP and rainbow park completely fenced yard so I had no worries for my dogs. Just absolutely beautiful so private and peaceful you must sit on the back porch and watch the birds. I know it sounds silly, but this has been probably the most relaxing getaway that we have had in years thank you Dana for sharing your little piece of paradise with us.

Fantastic property
We needed a little quiet getaway, the home is cozy and clean. What we loved the most was simply sitting on the dock and relaxing, the porch was also fantastic, birds were always coming by to eat from the feeders. Lovely grounds, just a nice experience. We will make this a regular escape whenever we need to unwind and get back with nature.

We love staying at the Birdhouse! Dana is an excellent host, providing a gift on arrival as well as charcoal for the grill. We enjoyed using the canoe one morning and rocking on the front porch is always enjoyable! The bed is very comfortable and we slept well.

Peaceful Retreat
This is my second time staying at the Birdnest. It is a wonderful, peaceful retreat on the river. Everything is as described, very clean, lots of thoughtful touches, and great communication from the owner. I loved that dogs are welcome. The yard is secure with enough space to chase a ball and run around for your pups. there was a very thoughtful welcome. Basket was not only goodies for me but a small toy for my dog. The perfect place to sit and watch the river or go out and get on the river so many options!

Our Favorite VRBO Stay
The Birdhouse is a lovely, peaceful escape. It’s everything you’d want: private, quiet, clean, with a beautiful view of the river. Our Pugs enjoyed roaming the huge backyard. We enjoyed watching the boats on the river and especially listening to the sounds of the night on the river. Dana is a terrific host. We felt welcome right from the start and look forward to coming again.

Truly is The Bird House !
From being serenaded by the Carolina Wren, Cardinals, Woodpeckers and to many more species to list this truly is a step back in time to Old Florida. Our Golden Retriever loved the freedom to chase the wildlife and explore. The days started on the back porch and watching the boats going by. And our evenings on the dock doing the same. Kayaking right of the dock was great! Pam and Dana were the best hosts, giving us tips on where to visit and the best eateries. The welcome basket was a great touch. A hidden Gem!

Tranquility
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The view is lovely and the setting very peaceful. Lots of bird calls and had a barn owl in the yard one day. Dana goes above and beyond as far as communication. We wanted to fish off the dock but it was weedy, so he and a friend came by boat to try to clear it out. So nice! We enjoyed using Dana’s kayaks to kayak the Rainbow River. Made a stop at Swampy’s and then floated back. Good nearby bike trails too. Also loved the screened-in porch! If you are looking for a quiet setting with room for animals, this is the place!
