Winter Farm Escape: Animals, Sauna & Mountain View

Welcome to The Bird’s Nest, a haven of adventure and relaxation nestled at the base of Overlook Mountain on our family rescue farm. Designed with families and friends' getaways in mind, this idyllic apartment offers the perfect blend of nature retreat and stylish vacation home.

Situated on 30 acres of private land, The Bird's Nest provides easy access to a variety of attractions, including a heated pool (available from May to September) located outside the owner's house. You can also spend time with our rescue animals, relax in the wood-burning sauna, swim in a small waterfall and 3ft swimming hole, and enjoy the serenity of a private stream and woods. Other outdoor amenities include hammocks, picnic tables, a fire pit, BBQ area, a children's play set, and a trampoline.

While the natural beauty surrounding our location takes center stage, we haven't compromised on comfort inside the apartment. The unit features a fully-stocked kitchen, beautiful living spaces, comfortable bedrooms, and breathtaking views of the mountains. The master bedroom offers a king-sized bed, while a twin bed nook provides additional sleeping for a friend or little one. The spacious living room is perfect for relaxation and quality time with loved ones. Modern-day conveniences and high-quality furnishings enhance your stay, including a reclining sofa and armchair, a king-sized bed with an all-natural, chemical-free Tempur-Pedic mattress, a private entrance, spacious desk with a view of the woods (perfect for remote work), washer/dryer, airfryer/toaster oven, coffee machine, and even a popcorn maker. A large TV with access to popular streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu, as well as strong Wi-Fi, cater to your entertainment needs.

As you venture further into the property, be captivated by our wonderful rescue animals, which include 2 horses, 4 miniature donkeys, 2 emus, 3 pigs, 3 roosters, 16 hens, 3 rabbits, and 23 geese. Guests are welcome to walk around and say hi to the animals on their own or we offer animal tours for guests interested in learning more about our friendly residents.

Delight in the ambiance of our wood-burning sauna, where serenity and rejuvenation await. A tranquil small waterfall cascades into a refreshing 3ft swimming hole, while a private stream meanders through the property. Engage in captivating conversations under the starry sky while gathered around the fire pit. Embark on serene strolls through the enchanting private woods, with plenty of opportunities to see some amazing wildlife including rabbits, deer, owls, eagles, hawks, foxes and more! Indulge in moments of pure bliss as you sway gently in our inviting hammocks, gather for picnics at our picnic tables, or savor the delights of outdoor cooking with our convenient BBQ facilities.

The property includes three other houses, two of which are occupied by the owner's family, and the third is also available for guests. With its own entrance, The Bird's Nest ensures complete privacy for our guests. The apartment is located above a garage housing farm equipment, which is used minimally by the owners.
