Description
An elevated Deltec round house named for it's bird themed decor full of small birds, bird houses and bird cages all through the cottage including the rafters. You'll enjoy finding the birds in the least expected places as well as the large floor to ceiling windows offering spectacular views of the Black Mountain range as well as the four star rated Mt. Mitchell Golf Club.
Owned and operated by Albert's Lodge at Mt. Mitchell, the Birdhouse has all the amenities required for a comfortable stay for your family and friends. There are two gas fireplaces as well as central heating and A/C, a complete kitchen with all the fixins' and laundry room. All bedding is included as well as bath towels. We also have an outdoor fire pit where you can relax in the evening while roasting marshmallows and gazing at the stars.
Inside you can relax next to the fireplace after a long day of hiking, biking or just traveling along the Blue Ridge Parkway which is only 5 minutes away. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the utensils you'll need for your cooking pleasure and there are 2 restaurants within walking distance should you not want to cook (May 1st - Oct. 31st). The master bedroom has a queen size bed with a private bathroom and the second bedroom has 2 twin beds. Downstairs in bedroom 3 there is a queen bed. Bedroom 4 has a pair of twin beds as well as a full size futon and the sitting room between them also has a futon. All linen and towels are provided as well as bathroom essentials and kitchen basics - the only thing you'll need to bring is your food and a change of clothes and even that's optional since there are laundry facilities to wash should you need to.
The Bird House is walking distance to the Roaring Fork falls - a 140 ft. cascading waterfall listed as one of the most beautiful waterfalls in North Carolina. Mt. Mitchell State Park, home of the tallest peak east of the Mississippi is in our back yard.
The cottage is wired for high speed WiFi access. There's a flat panel HD TV with a BluRay Disc player if you want to bring the kid's favorite movies. Access to Netflix, Pandora as as well as other internet apps.
The Bird House is pet friendly, however, there is an additional one time pet fee of $75 per pet as well as some common sense rules. Please let us know if you intend to bring your pet (s) so we can adjust the quote for the pet fee and discuss the rules.

“Escape and enjoy a quiet Thanksgiving”
Our family of 4 enjoyed staying at the Bird House. It was well stocked, clean and cozy. The beds were comfortable. Be sure you can maneuver a spiral staircase. It was not an issue for us. Hosts w… More

“Freaking Awesome”
So my sister and I wanted to go on a camping trip for her 20th birthday with some friends so me and 8 other people booked this place to stay for 2 days and it was so amazing. Van was awesome and was a great help every step of the way (since we were all newbies to this) and provided us with great information on what to do (and how to not get our cars trashed by bears lol) The place itself was so beautiful and had pretty much everything we needed. Comfy rooms, and plenty to do just in the cottage alone. It was easily accessible and had an amazing view of the mountains. 10000/10 Would highly reccomend and would love to go back again next year in the summer when more stuff is open.

Response from the owner We're so very sorry to hear of your less than optimal experience. We strive to make every stay the best possible. As anyone that owns a house will attest, things occasionally break down. However, being nearby resident-owners, we were able to address the leaking sink issue immediately. After reading this review, we made a careful inspection of the downstairs for the alleged mold mentioned. We could find no mold anywhere in the cabin. There is a dehumidifier in the laundry room that runs 24/7 to mitigate the possibility of any mold growth. There is some confusion as to our mentioning a lake on the other side of the road. Being in the rugged Blue Ridge Mountains, we are well aware there is no lake nearby for miles. This is not something we would have told you or anyone. The internet service runs 24/7 and is never turned off. We do have the occassional electricity brown-out that causes the WiFi router to disconnect. This is easily remedied with a reboot of the router. Had you contacted us, as indicated on the small sign attached to the router, we would have gladly reset the router for you. Regardless, there is full cell phone service for all service providers in our area - unless the tower was out, there is no reason why you could not have called the office. Also, being that the Birdhouse cabin is litterally a stone's throw from the office, a short walk to the office would have gotten you the required information. The check-out instructions were given to the named guest for the booking at check-in. In particular, instructions for garbage handling, which is a major issue around here since there is no garbage pickup. Finally, I saved this one for last. I am a bit confused about the cleanliness comment stating, "The house was not cleaned at all." We are vacation rental hospitality professionals - this is what we do and go to great lengths to make certain every cabin is thoroughly cleaned, prepped and disinfected prior to every new guest arriving. We set the highest standard for cleanliness, not just in appearance, but for smells, as well. Even before the pandemic, we not only clean, but also disinfect the entire cabin to eliminate germs that cause smells. It is obvious this review was written to penalize us for some dissatisfaction on your part. For your dissatisfaction, we apologize. As for the things we can attest are neither true or exagerated - shame on you.
