We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It had great views and was so comfy and cozy. We loved the fireplace and enjoyed having a fire almost every day we were there! It was the perfect place to be able to relax and enjoy our time away! The host was great and would get back to us quickly anytime we had questions. She checked in and made sure we had everything we needed. She was wonderful to work with.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the Songbird cabin. The view was spectacular! We were able to see Grandfather mountain, Seven Devil’s, and Beech Mountain both days. At night there was little light pollution, so we could enjoy lots of stars and see the vague outline of the Milky Way. The cabin was clean and comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful vacation and hopefully we will get to return soon!

We had a wonderful time! Bianca was attentive and welcoming at every opportunity. The cabin was comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully decorated. It was when we got our car stuck (our fault) after dark on the road to the cabin that Bianca and team really won the day. Bianca sent her brother and two others to help in under 15 minutes. They had us safely moving again in unbelievably short amount of time. We were so humbled and grateful to them for their helpful generosity. We will stay here again, for sure (and take the curve on the road up the hill a little less tightly -- ha!).

Amazing!

I can’t say enough positive things about our stay at Songbird! It was everything we dreamed of for our “Christmas Mountain Trip”. Bianca is the best host we have ever had. The songbird cabin is so cozy. We hoped for snow during our stay & we got it! The views were amazing! This is definitely our new favorite cabin and we are already planning our next trip!

Perfect retreat!

The cabin was close enough to all the things we wanted to do over Father's Day weekend, yet felt very secluded. Everything was as advertised; would love to come stay again, especially in the fall or winter.

Perfect getaway

My wife and I stayed at the songbird cabin for the week to get away from the city and could not have picked a better place. The location is beautiful, quiet and only 30 mins from Boone. The cabin itself was cozy, comfortable, and clean. It has everything you need to grill outside on the deck and enjoy the views. It was a wonderful experience and we can't wait to come back.

Just the right size for two people, far enough away from civilization for some peace and quiet but not too far away to make it inconvenient. Very well maintained, updated.

This was a cozy, comfortable cabin with amazing, changing mountain views. A great location to get away, while still being able to drive to restaurants, wineries, breweries, and many hiking options if you choose (we chose to eat in during the pandemic).

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

The 26 ac. farm was at one time owned by my ancestors and when it came up for sale, my grandmother was blessed to be able to purchase it. She purchased the farm in 1986 and planted her first Christmas trees in the Spring. In about 1992 her late husband and herself opened the farm for choose and cut and invited people to visit the farm on weekends during Nov. and Dec. to pick out their perfect Christmas tree. Many of those customers often stated they would love to visit during other seasons. This planted the seed for a rental cabin. In 2000, after the passing of her husband in 1999, she decided it was time to put their dream into action and had Songbird Cabin built so that she could begin sharing her farm with others throughout the year.

What makes this property unique

My grandmother (the property owner) chose to build Songbird cabin on a section of the farm that has the most beautiful long-range views. From the deck of the cabin, you can see the slopes of Ski Beech Mountain and you can see a view of Grandfather Mountain. Or you can just enjoy the view of the surrounding properties. One guest said that sitting on the deck and watching the clouds and the sky was like watching "God's paintbrush at work".
