Convenient location to hiking at De Soto and Little River Canyon! Hot tub was great and location was private but central to recreation and dining. Would stay again!
This was the perfect place for my solo vacation. The house was clean and had everything i needed. I took full advantage of the hot tub and fire pit every night I was there. It was super close to Desoto State park and Little River Canyon, which is where i went hiking. It is also super close to Mentone and I visited there as well. The hosts were super helpful about restaurant recommendations and where to find fire wood. 10/10. Have been recommending it to everyone i know.
Cozy and private setting, perfectly located to visit Little River Canyon National Preserve and DeSoto State Park. Well appointed furnishings and very clean.
Such a sweet cabin! It was very clean and the host was extremely helpful! We come to Fort Payne once a year to hike and just get away. We would definitely stay here again.
Me and my boyfriend stayed here for a getaway weekend. Everything was perfect! Beautiful property, everything was clean when we arrived, the host answered all of our questions in a timely manner, overall a wonderful stay! I would recommend this place to everyone!
The Birds Near was super cozy and comfortable.All the basic amenities were provided. The location was perfect. Tucked away and secluded for ultimate privacy.Only complaint I would have would have to be the water that leaked from the hottub and onto the concrete slab.

I'm not sure what you would mean from water leaking from the hot tub? It doesn't leak a drop. Once you get out of the tub and on the slab it could get wet dripping off of an individual but the tub itself definitely doesn't leak.
Great little cabin with a very communicative host. The location is private enough that you can get away without dealing with others. The hot tub was clean and relaxing. The wifi worked perfectly as did the AC. If a smaller place to stay near Fort Payne is what you're looking for, you won't go wrong with The Bird House!
Absolutely loved our stay. Matt was very quick to respond and very helpful for advice about the area. We will definitely be back for a visit in the future.
