Both bedrooms have queen beds and the front bedroom offers a unique workspace for checking emails.
Bird’s Eye View was built in 1915 during the era where two major resort hotels were undergoing rebuild and expansion projects. Nestled atop S. Virginia Avenue, Bird’s Eye View offers just that, a splendid view of French Lick Resort. We encourage you to take a peek at some of the coffee table books describing the rich history of the region. The owned and adjoining wooded property provides a retreat with local wildlife including chipmunks, squirrels. deer, a wide variety of birds, including cardinals, blue birds, robins, hummingbirds and owls.
Our family fell in love with this cottage the moment we saw the front porch, which happens to be our favorite room. We took pride in the renovation projects with the property including restoring the hardwood floors in the bedrooms (under four layers of carpet and glued pads) and stripping multiple layers of paint from the mantle. We left the original oil pane windows intact in the living room and front bedroom. They add a historic feature and decorative aspect to the home. ** Please note, due to the steep incline of the street and the distance between the back driveway and side door, this property may not be suitable for individuals who require assistive devices for walking or have difficulty with balance.

Everything about this stay was wonderful. The host was informative and very pleasant. The property was adorable, cozy, and quiet while being close to everything we wanted to see. We saw lots of birds and deer during our stay.
This was the perfect place to stay in French Lick! We felt very comfortable and at home here. Loved the historic features, like the screened in porch. Enjoyed coffee out there each morning. We were in walking distance of several restaurants, but the walk back up the huge hill helped work off what we ate!!Will definitely stay here again! Thank you!!
We had a beautiful two night stay in French Lick, Indiana. The house was wonderful and the host was great. House was very clean and super cozy. I would definitely stay here again as it felt like home. Thank you.
What a GEM!! Cute 2 room bungalow with updated amenities, great coffee choices, super clean, great hosts, and decor on point. Basically, a wonderful stay in a private, quiet, and cozy space...even saw small deer in the yard.It is close to town, but on a hill, so steep climb home! Too hot to enjoy the porch, so maybe we'll be back just for that, and to enjoy the fireplace.
We stayed at this property for 3 nights during spring break. The property was exactly as advertised. It was beautiful, well stocked and walking distance to town. The property manager was very accommodating and made our experience top notch!
Amazingly, beautiful and clean property with a perfect location in French lick. Host was amazing communicative and friendly. If you’re looking for a place to stay in or around French lake, I would highly recommend this house.
Property did have that cool old time vibe to it . It was plenty of space for a family of four. Amenities were pretty good, maybe possibly adding a stackable washer and dryer in future to add even more value. Overall our experience was great and would recommend to small families. I like the pet friendly idea though dog hair in various areas was visible and gets on everything other than that the house is very clean.
We drove up from Tennessee to go to a wedding. This house is perfect for a quick get away or staying for a few days. It is so close to town you cant go wrong!
This was the perfect spot for us! We loved the location and the property! The bungalow was perfectly stocked with anything you might need.. We will definitely be back.
The home was beautiful and very clean. We found it to be described very well and transacting with owners was simple and easy.

Beautifully decorated, modern and cozy cottage with everything you need for your stay, plus some little extra surprises! Owner was very attentive, as we were there during a winter storm, and he cleared sidewalks and driveway promptly. We will definitely make this place our yearly anniversary getaway!
We had a lovely stay. French Lick is a charming destination but we were most pleased with this gorgeous sweet retreat. The house was very well appointed. The decor was charming and everything was so clean and fresh. The owners were responsive when we had a question and we felt cared for. Thank you!
The Birds Eye View is a charming, comfortable and delightful place. My family enjoyed a long weekend here. The kitchen is well stocked, there are fun games for all ages, the porch is a great place to hand out and the wooded area behind the house makes you forget you are in a town. The house is conveniently located to restaurants an and shops and many local attractions. The host is very responsive. You can’t go wrong staying here.
We had the perfect stay at Bird's Eye View! The hosts have thought of everything... and then some! The beautiful, historic home is an ideal place to call home. Comfy beds, great shower, fully-stocked kitchen, lovely enclosed front porch, and a gas fireplace were among the amenities we enjoyed. For several years, we've chosen to stay in VRBO offerings when traveling. This home was one of the best! Our host, Bill, was a wonderful communicator and was extremely helpful. The location is perfect - perched atop a hill overlooking French Lick. We were close to everything French Lick has to offer. We visit French Lick quite often, I'm hoping the Bird's Eye View is available when we visit next!!Thanks for everything!
Cute, clean property. Good quiet location except for an extremely steep hill. Would not recommend for someone with mobility issues. Having fans in both bedrooms was much appreciated.
I cannot say enough about our amazing stay at Bird's Eye View. The house was a charming architectural gem. The beds were ultra comfortable and the place was decorated with very loving detail.The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and clean. The hosts were very pleasant to work with and stocked the fridge with fresh bottled water coffee and treats.We loved the historic pictures and book about the resort and the bungalow smelled fresh and inviting. We loved staying at Bird's Eye View.
