Such a nice place to stay!...we were in town for a parent's funeral, and the quiet, peaceful surroundings brought much comfort. We'll definitely come back when we can have a more relaxing visit. The hosts, Susan and Roland, allow guests plenty of space but are easily accessible for as much or as little as you need them. They are kind, friendly folks who accommodated a few of our special needs relative to the circumstances of our visit. Bird Cottage is so well maintained and clean, it is obvious the time and effort put into making it a wonderful place for guests to spend time. Loved the rustic appeal of the cottage and also admired all the updates - the stone shower, WOW! The grounds are beautiful..the outdoors is as well maintained as indoors! Also plenty of open space to roam with our dog. We spent most of our time there on the porch..very spacious, comfortable and a nice cool breeze even in the heat of the day!! And the property is only 10 minutes from town, which can be very convenient..close to most anything you need, but away from it all! Thanks, Roland and Susan..we enjoyed our visit and look forward to staying at Bird Cottage again - Sandy, Tim & Charley
