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!

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.

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!).

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.
