This property was perfect for our visit to Athens, WV. The pet fee was so reasonable and there was everything our family needed to make our stay stressless and easy. Anita was so accommodating and understanding. We can't wait until our next stay here!!

Great place. Address throws you off a little. Says Princeton it’s actually Athens. But overall a great property.

We came here for my birthday The place was very clean and cute. The only suggestion would be to have smart TVs or fire sticks for down time. It was raining a little when we were there so we spent a good amount of time inside. But we had so much fun and the place was super cute and worth the price. Would stay here again!!

Small 2 bedroom/2 bath house on a narrow, winding road. House was clean, yard was well-kept. One bedroom was 2 twin beds and the other was queen bed. TV in each bedroom and in living room but no service. We did have internet service. I have stayed with Anita before and personally prefer the other property--"Back to the 50's". Neighborhood was quiet and I felt safe.

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.
