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.

Paradise for you and the pups!

The birdhouse is truly magical! Dana is a wonderful host. Very communicative And accommodating. The location of the house is perfect. Everything you need is within a short drive if you decide to even get into a car. By boat is better or paddleboard! Our pups loved the enclosed fenced in yard. The yard is huge! They had a nice room to run around, play, and explore! One of our favorite things about the home Besides, it’s wonderful natural beauty was that you never felt that your dog was not welcome. The home is perfectly designed for pups in mind making sure you feel relax while your pups enjoy the outdoor space and the indoor space as well. We will definitely 100% be back! This is the go to place for a getaway with your dogs!

Nice place - very scenic

I recently stayed at this property and found it to be very clean with a beautiful screened porch that overlooked the river. This made for a very scenic view. The amenities made the stay pleasurable. It’s located not far from Dunellen making that town very accessible as well as several pints of interest. The only item that prevents me from giving this four stars was the internet service. It went down multiple times every night as well as during the day and was just unreliable. This is no fault of the property owner. They are forced to use AT & T which, from my experience, is just a totally terrible service. While some effort could be made to upgrade, if possible, this situation became just a nightly issue. I wouldn’t let this stop anyone from staying here - just be prepared if you need a reliable internet connection. Other than that, this was a very nice place and would recommend it to couples or single people.

Perfect balance of rest and adventure

We had a wonderful stay at The Birdhouse. Check in was a breeze. Host was very welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch overlooking the river. Property was very clean and had everything we needed. Location was perfect for our needs. We hiked the numerous trails in the area. Food and shopping was within walking distance of the property. We have stayed in Dunnellon many times and this property is on our Top 5 list! Thanks, Dana for an absolutely wonderful time! We will be back.
