About this property
Dicky Bird Mount Washington Village
In the heart of the Alpine Village sits the Dicky Bird suite. This is a cozy space for one family or a couple to enjoy. From here you can ski to the lifts or stare at the views of Strathcona Park. Here to relax? We have you covered with no vehicle traffic you can watch the kids play outside without having to worry. Have fun playing board games, make memories and soak up the magic of the Alpine Village in style this winter at the Birdhouse.
The Dicky bird is a loft unit with a queen bed upstairs and a pull out sofa bed downstairs, it is suitable for one small family with children or two adults. We do not recommend more than two adults in the unit for a comfortable stay. Due to the loft setup it is not recommended for younger children under the age of 5. The Dicky Bird is a pet free accommodation; no exceptions.
We are a ski out chalet and at the end of the day you will have to take your skis off to walk up the hill- the magic at the top is worth it!
During the winter months the village is walk in only. From the parking lot it is about a 7-8 minute walk to the Dicky Bird. We provide one complimentary shuttle in to deliver bags and gear during ski season. The Dicky Bird is allowed one parking space in the village parking lot during ski season.
During the summer/fall months you can drive right up to the Dicky Bird. There is street parking beside the building or you can park in Dougan's parking lot.
Parking during the winter months: A week prior to your trip you will be asked to provide your license plate number along with a reachable phone number while on the mountain. This is required for vehicle parking registration PRIOR to your arrival. Vehicles not registered or parking information provided at the time of arrival may risk the vehicle being towed. The Dicky Bird has been assigned parking for one vehicle only. Additional parking passes are not available at this time.
Looking for a larger place? Check out the Winter Wren or combine the Dicky Bird and the Wren for the whole family to enjoy!

About the host
Hosted by Karen and Jen at Birdhouse Vacations
We are two snow loving families who have grown up coming to Mount Washington since we were kids. We are thrilled to now be sharing that experience with our little ones and able to share our beautiful accommodation with others.
Why they chose this property
We have young children and being in the beautiful car free village is ideal for families that want to play in the snow without worrying about traffic. Added bonus is the beautiful scenery the village has to offer.
What makes this property unique
Renting out the Dicky Bird or adding on the connecting unit, The Winter Wren, for extra beds will ensure a comfortable family get away for all.
