The Birdhouse is a lovely little cottage on the river. There are many options nearby for food or you can stay in and all you need to make your own is provided. It was a great little get away. We had a great little stay.

I had a wonderful experience staying at the Withlacoochee River Bird House! The location right on the river and the property was exceptional. The house was unique with its decor and had a lot of charisma and character. Very thoughtful touches to welcome guests. My pup loved it and didn’t want to leave! The host, Dana, was great and very kind. Wish I could have stayed longer!

The cabin was extremely cozy for my husband, myself, and our lab. We loved the yard and the dock that sat right on the river. We saw a couple of alligators in the river our first night, so I would not recommend jumping in! Dana was extremely helpful and even left a dog toy for our lab. We sat on the porch almost every night. It was perfect for our few days away.

This was our 8th stay! It's such a relaxing and peaceful place. we fished off the dock and caught alot of little brim. Which we returned back to the river. Watched a baby gator eyeing us. It's truly a natural paradise! Enjoyed our coffee on the porch,while watching the cardinals,woodpecker,and hummingbird. Thankful for a few days there, but didn't want to leave there!Hope if God wills it we will be back!

The Birdhouse is a very special place for a couple and a furry friend. A peaceful setting which is close enough to all the activities, restaurants and shopping. Who knew rocking on the lovely screened porch while watching the beautiful cardinals feed would be the highlight of every day?!

Can’t wait to come back

This home brings me so much happiness and joy, I’ve had the pleasure of staying here many years ago with family, when I saw this was a rental on VRBO I was thrilled, the home/ property is absolutely beautiful. Dana is an incredible host and we cannot wait to come back. The birdhouse has a special place in my heart

The house and amenities were attractiveThe bed was not good for me. I have back issues and for some reason the bed set them off. My husband slept fine. My dog loved the fenced in yard and the house and screen room as she could play easily. Loved the screen porch and the areas for sitting in the yard. Just looking at the water was soothing. Walking the dog in the neighborhood presented many rundown homes which was sad to see. It was such a surprise given the Bird House and the attentiveness to that and some of the other properties. Hopefully the city will address some of the immediate area blight. Overall, we felt safe at the house and property and would recommend friend and family to stay.

Didn't want to leave

This place is good for the soul. We could sit on the huge screened porch and the dock forever. Lovely, clean, secluded, and tranquil. Thank you, it was the perfect place to unwind and remind ourselves to slow down.
