Perfect balance of rest and adventure
We had a wonderful stay at The Birdhouse. Check in was a breeze. Host was very welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch overlooking the river. Property was very clean and had everything we needed. Location was perfect for our needs. We hiked the numerous trails in the area. Food and shopping was within walking distance of the property. We have stayed in Dunnellon many times and this property is on our Top 5 list! Thanks, Dana for an absolutely wonderful time! We will be back.

Driving into the property feels like entering a hidden garden! We felt welcomed and it was fun discovering all the little touches and details of this little house and beautiful property! Couldn’t ask for more and we hope to come back when we can use the kayaks and the KPHole passes!

Stacation to Rainbow Springs
The Bird House Cottage was the perfect nest for our visit to Rainbow Springs area. Dana has done a wonderful thinking ahead of everything a guest might enjoy. The cottage is beautifully and privately situated on the Withlacoochee River. We can't wait for our next visit.

Love the Birdhouse
We had a great time at the birdhouse. My husband and I with 3 dogs stayed for 1 week. We loved the house and the fenced in yard. We spent the evenings on the screened in porch watching the river and nature. We had frequent visitors at the bird feeder and a hummingbird that visited every morning and evening. Rainbow springs was beautiful. The house had everything we needed for our visit, including everything we needed to visit the parks. The host responded quickly to questions we had. We would love to stay there again. Highly recommend

Dana’s place has everything you could need and he was a very kind host. We absolutely loved it and will definitely stay here again. Cozy, clean, huge backyard that our pup loved. Canoe and kayaks, grill, rocking chairs on a screened in porch- what more can you ask for? A very peaceful getaway that was much needed! Highly recommend
