Beautiful view, cozy cabin

My partner and I had a wonderful time at this lovely cabin. It's tucked away in the woods and very quiet. The view is amazing. We even got to see a little snow which made my trip.

Enjoyable mountain stay

My wife and I had a great long weekend getaway at the Christmas tree farm. We got snowed in and just enjoyed the cozy cabin for the weekend. Diane was a gracious host and stayed in contact when needed. Would stay again!

Wonderful Mountain Getaway

This was a cozy, comfortable cabin with amazing, changing mountain views. A great location to get away, while still being able to drive to restaurants, wineries, breweries, and many hiking options if you choose (we chose to eat in during the pandemic).

Amazing!

I can’t say enough positive things about our stay at Songbird! It was everything we dreamed of for our “Christmas Mountain Trip”. Bianca is the best host we have ever had. The songbird cabin is so cozy. We hoped for snow during our stay & we got it! The views were amazing! This is definitely our new favorite cabin and we are already planning our next trip!

Perfect getaway

My wife and I stayed at the songbird cabin for the week to get away from the city and could not have picked a better place. The location is beautiful, quiet and only 30 mins from Boone. The cabin itself was cozy, comfortable, and clean. It has everything you need to grill outside on the deck and enjoy the views. It was a wonderful experience and we can't wait to come back.

This was an amazing long weekend. We arrived late Friday night so it was pitch black and being from Florida, the hills and mountains were a little intimating to drive at night. I am so glad we made it! It was worth it. The communication from the owner was incredible. She made sure that every aspect of the trip was great. She has an amazing little craft shop on the property that my mom shopped at. The view was breath taking. It was quiet and a great change of pass from our daily lives. 3 people stayed at the home and there was plenty of room for everyone to do their thing. It was clean and there were ample supplies. My only compliant is that we checked out on Monday, September 15th and it has been just over 10 days and I have not been refunded my security deposit which was quite large. We followed the instructions for check out and left the home clean. I have not been contacted about any issues or damage (which there was none). I will be checking in on that, but I will certainly stay there again.

I thought the cabin was very very nice! The view was beautiful! It was very clean. The beds were a bit hard and the kitchen slightly under equipped (no baking sheet or pizza pan) not much silverware but overall we had come very prepared with our own food and the stay was excellent! Very private! Great time!

Second stay just as amazing as the first!

My wife and daughter and I stayed at this cabin back in February 2021, and decided to come back in January 2025. Our stay was just as amazing as the first stay! The host was quick to respond to any questions we had before and during our stay. The property was clean and the view from the deck is incredible! Since we had been before, we knew to stop for food well before arriving since it is in a remote location. We preferred this for privacy and a peaceful setting. The driveway was a little slippery with the ice, so 4wd came in handy. We got to see snow falling the first night we stayed and enjoyed our trip. The property is beautiful covered in a blanket of white. We can’t wait to come back again!

A beautiful way to end and start the new year!

The Songbird will be on ny return list and had everything we needed and some. The pictures don’t do it justice. Beautiful cabin and property! We were close enough to town for what we needed but also secluded enough to enjoy quiet quality family time. Bianca and Diane were amazing and so accessible. So grateful for your hospitality and looking forward to the next one :)

This is a must see bucket list kinda thing!!!!!

On fairly short notice I wanted to escape to a beautiful place in the mountains with my dogs. I found Bianca‘s rental and fell in love with the views! The photos were just stunning (which DO NOT do it justice!). This cabin did not disappoint! It’s absolutely breathtaking! I got to enjoy the seclusion of being on the farm while also having a lot of things in nature to do. We hiked around, took the kayak out on the pond and the dogs enjoyed swimming! The evenings out on the deck are amazing. The WiFi and my ability to connect was perfect (given the seclusion you just never know). The cabin is fully equipped with everything we needed, and Bianca was an amazing host. I’m looking forward to my next visit. I have a feeling this is my new getaway spot for sure!

Always a great visit

This was our fourth stay at Songbird Cabin and it was as lovely as ever. Could not ask for a more well equipped and clean cabin, it feels like a cabin without lacking any modern amenities or conveniences. Looking through the guestbook it is clear that we are not the only family that comes back year after year! Bianca was a great host, highly recommend a stay.

Perfect Cabin Getaway

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a weekend and will certainly plan a return visit soon! The host was very responsive and the cabin exceeded all of our expectations. Songbird Cabin was extremely clean, well stocked with all kitchen items, an abundance of firewood and even fire starters for the wood burning fireplace which we thoroughly enjoyed. The property owner/host really thought of everything to make their guests comfortable and it felt like our own private getaway for the weekend we were there. The view was incredible from the living/dining room and the huge deck. We loved how secluded the cabin was and how quiet the property was. As we pulled onto the dirt road to head up to the cabin we passed a beautiful Christmas tree farm and saw three deer near the pond. We plan to stay here again soon and look forward to our next Songbird Cabin experience!

Upon arrival, we felt so welcomed. The basket of goodies, the hand written note and the dog treats were an extra special touch. The view was exceptional, and we loved walking around the property to the fish pond. We drove to Boone and back a couple of times, and the drive was easy and the scenery beautiful.
