Best Christmas ever!
We had our second stay at the birdhouse and we were just as in love with it as the first time. We stayed for 10 days over the holidays and had a magical time enjoying the property as well as the wealth of things to do in the area. Franklin is the quintessential small mountain town and it never disappoints. We cannot wait to visit again. My ONLY gripe is the WIFi is insanely slow, so be prepared to truly unplug. This is just the way it is in the mountains, so I do not fault the Birdhouse at all

An amazing time, we already booked it again!
This is everything we had imagined it would be. Nestled in the trees, on a gravel road.... The house is just perfect. Everything we needed was well stocked and well placed. Having use of the garage door was great because I didn't have to worry about losing the key and it made entry and exit and lock up so much better especially going in and out with the kids. My 6-year-old daughter had an absolute blast on the second floor porch swing. We didn't see many birds because of the season, but we definitely saw enough places for them to perch, with cute little bird houses strewn all over the property. We are coming back in December and can't wait to spend a longer time enjoying this amazing property.
