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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

The 26 ac. farm was at one time owned by my ancestors and when it came up for sale, my grandmother was blessed to be able to purchase it. She purchased the farm in 1986 and planted her first Christmas trees in the Spring. In about 1992 her late husband and herself opened the farm for choose and cut and invited people to visit the farm on weekends during Nov. and Dec. to pick out their perfect Christmas tree. Many of those customers often stated they would love to visit during other seasons. This planted the seed for a rental cabin. In 2000, after the passing of her husband in 1999, she decided it was time to put their dream into action and had Songbird Cabin built so that she could begin sharing her farm with others throughout the year.

What makes this property unique

My grandmother (the property owner) chose to build Songbird cabin on a section of the farm that has the most beautiful long-range views. From the deck of the cabin, you can see the slopes of Ski Beech Mountain and you can see a view of Grandfather Mountain. Or you can just enjoy the view of the surrounding properties. One guest said that sitting on the deck and watching the clouds and the sky was like watching "God's paintbrush at work".
