What an amazing home to stay in. It had everything you need for a nice stay. This is one of the BEST places i have ever stayed in! The home is so excellent, i would definitely stay here again!
Our two night stay was magnificent! We used this as homebase for doing a lot of things in the area. TJ was a great host. He communicated frequently and clearly. While we didn’t need anything, he touched base to make sure we were comfortable. The house is updated and had everything we needed. The tree lined street and neighborhood were so nice. Would highly recommend!
This property was excellent, our boys had soccer games in the area and the house was a perfect amount of space for our stay. The massage chairs were a huge hit, basement lounge area was fabulous, beds very comfortable, kitchenware extremely good. We will come back if we are in the area again.
WE had a great stay. The place was spotless and all of the linens and supplies were amazing quality. We had a very minor issue and the host handled it quickly. So responsive. The location was ideal - close enough to everything but not right on top of everything. We will definitely try to book this place for our next visit.
We stayed here while visiting family that live in the area. It was a clean and well equipped home. The neighborhood has sidewalks and was very nice to walk in. We walked to downtown Birmingham for lunch one day. The host was helpful and they had an online manual that explained how to use items in the house. I highly recommend!
In town with family for the zoo and Tigers game. Only 15 minutes away from the zoo and in a darling tree lined neighborhood. Amazing school playground a block away and tons of great restaurants close by. House itself is clean and neat. Comfy beds, massage chairs and yoga mats were perfect after all of the zoo walking. Son had a blast playing on the old school video game console. Would absolutely stay here again.
The BirdHouse is a favorite of ours to stay whenever we are visiting the Detroit area to see family. The house is immaculately kept and very comfortable. We highly recommend to all.
The house was very clean and comfortable for me and my family checking in and out was a breeze and the game room was a nice touch! Will deffinitly be staying again
My 15 year old son and I had a wonderful time. The massage chairs alone are reason enough to stay here - I miss them! Perfect location for us. Everything was very easy and great host. The pinball and video games were a bonus and made it even more fun. I will look to stay here again for our next visit.
Perfect for our quick trip home for an event. Photos are accurate. It is simple and clean and has everything you need. The massage chairs and yoga room were great. Location to Bham and Royal Oak was so convenient.
This place was great. Communication and the check in process was easy! The have an online owners manual that answered all my questions. It was clean, simple, and in a beautiful neighborhood. I appreciate that they had an abundance of pillows and toiletress. Would stay there again next time we are in town visiting family!
The house is located in a safe in family friendly neighborhood with parks. I saw a lot of people and children walking and playing in their yards. Great environment for our family. House was clean and had all the amenities you could ask for. Great location centrally located in among tourist locations, Such as Henry Ford Museum, the aquarium, the zoo. would highly recommend staying here at the Birdhouse Bham.

This property we would characterize as "fine". Not bad. Not great. The pros: Nice neighborhood, updated appliances and a well stocked kitchen, plenty of utensils, state of the art thermostat/good heating & A/C. The cons: When we walked in, we noticed an unpleasant odor throughout the house. It isn't pet or smoke oriented, just unpleasant. The house also wasn't super clean. The steps in the house were pretty dirty, and there were stains on some of the bedding & pillows, which was pretty off-putting. Lastly, this didn't affect the review per se, but as another reviewer mentioned, there's only 1 mirror in the house, located in the bathroom. So if someone is in the bathroom, and the rest of the family is getting ready for a night out, there's no other mirror! It's a minor thing, but we noticed its absence. We've stayed in many VRBO's in the past few years, and for this price point (500 per night), we'd expect it to be cleaner and have no odor.
We had a wonderful experience at the Birdhouse Bham! It was a clean and comfortable launchpad for visiting family and friends in the area. All the finishes and furniture were beautiful and made us feel relaxed and at home. My family suffers from allergies and we had no issues in this home at all. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to get to. There were people out for walks in the neighborhood and even some kids with a homemade jewelry stand. It felt like a home away from home. Thank you JT for being a fantastic host with great communication! We will definitely be back again!
Super clean and cozy, great location. Host went above and beyond.

About the host
Hosted by JT
We, JT & Julie, our daughter Claire (6) and our son Grant (3) started this business in 2021 in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was driven by the burning desire to get out of the house where I had spent over 1 year staring at a computer screen in a dark room and contemplating what's next in life. Missing the days of socializing with family, friends, and other humans, we started to look into AirBnBs as a way to get people together again in a meaningful way. When we launched our first property, it was the summer of 2021 and the societal need to get people together and move on from the pandemic was at its peak. The summer sun vitamin D in Michigan was giving people an extra boost in their step. We worked very hard to get everything in order in our 3 AirBnBs spending many weekends setting up and improving the properties. Each of us had a role in setting up the properties. Some people would call me an EngiNERD, which shows in the many tech improvements throughout our properties. Julie was the queen of the details, including the kitchen, bedding, and putting those little stickers on the light switches. The children took great pride in their contributions such as the hammock at the Chalet Getaway, bunk beds at the Thompsonville lodge, and movie room at the Birdhouse Bham. We truly enjoy enabling groups of people to reconnect and have a fantastic time. The best, yet unforeseen, benefit has been the amazing reviews from many fantastic groups. They are often screenshotted and passed around our family for the pure joy that it brings to hear of the wonderful time people are having. The impact that it makes on their (and our) mood, happiness and general wellbeing is truly energizing. We will go to great lengths to ensure that your time is fantastic and we look forward to hosting you.
