About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Bird house



The Bird house is right in the middle of the areas best attractions. It sits only 3 miles from Little River Canyon. While being only 4 miles away from DeSoto State Park. This cabin is perfect for a couples romantic retreat. Single bedroom, one bath cabin. The bedroom has a queen sized bed, a balcony leading out of the bedroom that overlooks the beginning of a 20 acre wooded lot. A custom large walk In shower with a clear glass door. Nicely decorated throughout and has a very warming feeling as soon as you walk in. Its fully stocked with kitchen utensils and pans. The cast iron skillets are to be used if you wish as well. We have a charcoal grill on the porch for those who like to cookout. The HOT TUB is a favorite among guest, perfect mood to light up the large outdoor firepit at night and sit back in the private hot tub, such a romantic and relaxing experience. The cabin sits at the front of a 20 acre lot that puts you right at natures door step. Great phone service and you can be in town within a 8 minutes drive. We are very close to Weiss lake at 17 minutes, Fort Payne reservoir at 10 minutes and Dekalb County lake at 20 minutes. So bring those boats and kayaks for some great fishing.


We are very communicative and will happily guide you to the areas best attractions whether it be Restaurants, Fishing, Hiking, Malls and so on. We love to help.

Great little get away

Beautiful little home not far from stores but far enough to feel secluded. Near Desoto squalls and little river canyon, both with Beautiful views.

Nice House

The house was clean, easy to find, and exactly what we expected from the pictures. I would recommend bringing some flip flops or sandals to walk to the hot tub because the rocks are rough on bare feet. We enjoyed having a fire outside and watching the stars and listening to the coyotes. Would definitely go back to this house.

Great little hide away

This is a perfect spot to have a “do nothing” weekend away from the kids and life’s responsibilities. Listing’s description is accurate and pictures tell the whole story. Owners are responsive to inquiries, and the location is fairly secluded. We are going to come back at some point.

Anniversary Getaway

Cabin was clean and cozy (it’s a “shotgun style” cabin). We enjoyed the time away plus the area wildlife that visited while we were there - bunnies and a fox. Easy access to Fort Payne and surrounding areas. Enjoyed antique shopping in the area and in Chattanooga. Visit the Lodge Cast Iron museum and outlet store in South Pittsburg, TN.

Anniversary weekend

This is the perfect cabin if you are looking for a weekend get away! The location to outdoor activities and town is very short drive. The cabin was clean, cozy, well maintained, amazing hot tub with the fire pit to keep you warm. The property owners were very easy to work with and helpful with questions. I will give our weekend a 10+ out of 10.

The Bird House

Absolutely a gem! From the moment we pulled up to the day of checkout we were in awe of this quaint little cabin nestled in a forest type atmosphere. Matt was always available to answer questions and provide feedback immediately! Definitely recommend this cabin as a getaway that will provide all the amenities you’ll need and the relaxation you deserve!
