Could not have been better!!!
We had a great time at The Birdhouse!!! The house is comfortable. There's everything you could possibly need for any length of stay -- just bring your clothes and food. The view from the porch is gorgeous; a great place to relax. The area is quiet and secluded, yet not too far a drive to Franklin, Highlands, or Dillard. We're definitely going back. Thank you Joe and Sam!!
Charming
Clean, quiet and fully stocked with all the conveniences of home. A lovely house and beautiful area. Highly recommend this place for anyone staying in Highlands or Dillard area.
Great mountain retreat
This home has it all. Everything in the house makes you feel welcomed. The pictures of the inside do not do it justice. Just as advertised, they provide everything but your food. Beds were extremley comfortable and the area around the home is very quiet and peaceful.
Highlands is very close as well as any day hikes you may desire. Joe was very easy to work with. We hope to come again soon.
Property was in great shape, we'll decorated and furnished.
Owner was very helpful providing great directions and area informaion. We would stay there again
Wonderful get away home for enjoying NC naturee
Joe was extremely nice and hospitable. Home was clean and had everything we needed. Perfect get away home for the family.
Cozy and quiet
This place is great! It's at the end of a dead-end street, and there's virtually no traffic. It's on top of the mountain, and it's very quiet. The lay of the land is wonderful, and the views are beautiful.
You can go from the house to a trail in about one minute on foot. Lots of birds to be seen and heard. Lots of trees and other plant life around to enjoy. Close to Highlands, Dillard, and Clayton. Plenty of hiking trails in the area, beautiful scenery, good restaurants, and some nice shopping options.
The house is well equipped with everything you need. It's very clean and well maintained in every way. We felt right at home immediately. Joe is a class act, a good conversationalist, has an eye for detail, and is very helpful and giving. We're ready to go back already!
Map
We are centrally located between Dillard, Ga and Highlands, NC. In the winter there is a tubing slope and ice skating nearby. National forest is behind the house. Lots of hiking trails in the area. Great Resturants at Highlands, Franklin, Dillard and Clayton.
