We stopped at this lovely house in both ends of our family trip and it was perfect each time! It is a cozy little cabin that worked quite well for our family. It’s not too far from the main Interstate and there were lots of food options just down the road. We did not have a chance to use the firepit, but the porch very nice. All of the rooms were very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with the flat/plate ware we needed.

Red Bird Cottage was just the right size for the 3 of us; had everything we needed and more.

Really enjoyed our stay both times; will probably become our favorite half-way home overnight+ place to stay.
