Photos and Description of the Bakersville vacation house rental 1 bedroom, queen-size bed, sleeps 4. 1 full bath.

Secluded mountain home at 3800 ft elevation in a hollow on 60 acres. It's cool here when it's roasting in the Piedmont. Things to do without getting in your car: hike to the mountain top, climb on big-as-a-house rock formations, bicycle down the road. Pet, walk and feed my goats,fish in the pond, pick blueberries, sit in the sun listening to song birds. Sit by mossy rocks next to a babbling creek and read (or play in the creeks). Relax on the deck with a glass of wine watching the sun set over the mountains. Look for deer and wild turkeys. Take a professionally guided photography tour. 15 minutes away: gallery hop, stroll the creek walk in B'ville, go rafting, have lunch at Dot's Café. 20-30 minutes away: drive the Blue Ridge Parkway & other scenic drives, go gem mining, hike the Appalachian Trail, visit Penland Gallery, TRAC Gallery, & artist studios, go golfing. What you can’t do: easily connect to work and other people you need a vacation from!

Further details for this vacation house rental in Bakersville, North Carolina

Land details: This land was once the property of the Ward family, 8th generation farmers, mine and sawmill workers. The primary crop was corn, they also raised pigs and cattle. The remnants of foundations and chimneys of two houses can be seen on the land. Linzey Ward (82) and his wife Rexy(80) passed away with in weeks of each other in 2007 lived in the house right outside our gate that Linzey's father built in 1919. They piped their water from a spring in the woods near the guest house whose source is at the base of a tree. The area has long since been sold and the mountain surrounding the land which was once cleared to the top of the ridge has now gone back to nature. In the tree stand to the left is a large old soapstone rock that shows the carvings of bowls estimated to be about 3000 years old. This area is known for it's soapstone and huge rock formations (just ask my mower.) Deer, birds, wild turkeys, barred owls, hawks and foxes are among the wildlife that may be seen.

Other Activities: The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, Linville Falls, Grandfather Mtn,

Just Super!

Crazy Fools Cotswolds UK
Review Submitted: August 4, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We spent three marvelous nights at Birdtown.
The guesthouse is very well cared for, well equiped and beautifully clean. It is decorated and furnished very tastefully with quality fittings. Extremely comfortable bed with down pillows and cotton linens, plenty of fluffy bath towels.
The location is extremely peaceful set in lovely grounds
and our hosts Mary and Alli were delightful, friendly and fun.
We loved everything about it.
A real highlight of our North Carolina touring holiday
I would not hesitate to recommend this property.
Thank you,
Helena and Haydn (UK)

Wonderful Home!

Dawn & Matthew Summerville SC
Review Submitted: July 27, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This home is wonderful, from the moment that you step in the door you feel at home. Mary is so wonderful, she is very sweet, intelligent, and an amazing artist and now considered a family friend, her studio is amazing, be sure to stop by while you are there. Everything was beautiful the wildlife and nature surrounding this home, the linens, the dishes, the art work, everything was one of a kind. The view is breath taking, and I did not realize that there were still places on this earth were this quiet. We all loved the goats and chickens, and feeding them and collecting the fresh eggs were great! The beds are amazing, the linens were all of the finest quality, they are by far the best beds around! While there we spent our days fishing at Carolina Hemlocks, a wonderful park with beautiful views, we hiked Linville Falls, and we drove on the Blue Ridge Parkway this area is just absolutely beautiful, we will definitely be back!
Owner's Response: I'm humbled...:)

I can't say enough good things...

Christy & Jason Charlotte, NC
Review Submitted: March 24, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
My husband and I booked BirdTown to celebrate our fourth anniversary. Our lives are extremely hectic right now, so we were looking for a place where we could slow down for a weekend. Mission accomplished!

We thoroughly enjoyed everything about this house. It is beautifully furnished and has gorgeous views out of every window. Mary's photography is all over the house, and she also has local artwork on display. Unfortunately, it rained the entire weekend we were there - which I don't think ever happens. It must have been the gods trying to force us to sit and be still! The kitchen was well equipped, which we really appreciated since we love cooking, and the fresh coffee was a bonus. There are a ton of movies to chose from in every genre you can imagine. There are also some really great books. We visited Mary's gallery in town (you should definitely plan to see it if you stay here!) and invited her to join us for dinner; we're so glad she took us up on the invitation because we feel that in addition to finding a new retreat we also made a new friend. Mary did an excellent job of making us feel at home and we feel like she took extra special care of us (even though I'm pretty sure she does that for every one!)

One thing that we really appreciated was Mary offering us a recycling bin and having a tankless water heater. We also liked that there are hiking trails and fishing poles to use in the pond on her property. Mary also has chickens that that produce fresh eggs and two pet goats that greet you when you drive onto the property.

We can't wait to go back!
Owner's Response: Wow, guys..I'm humbled. Dinner on me next time!

Perfect Getaway!

Allison & Cliff W-S, NC
Review Submitted: November 11, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
We stayed in this extraordinary cabin for four perfect autumn days. Our two children loved tending the chickens and goats with Mary, and we harvested delicious heritage apples in late October, perfect for apple pie! This cabin and the setting more than live up to the beautiful pictures featured on the website. We hiked the private trail on the property and experienced some great day hikes at nearby Roan Mountain. The location is great if you're looking for a way to step back in time to a simpler, more comfortable pace of life. The location is near great NC craft institutions and galleries like Penland and others. It was a relief to turn off our electronic gadgets and enjoy idyllic days and nights (we even saw the Milky Way!) in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of NC.
Owner's Response: Thanks so much, guys! Mary and Allison

Honeymoon heaven......privacy galore!

Jim and Michele Raleigh, NC
Review Submitted: October 26, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
We just returned from our one-week honeymoon stay at Birdtown. It's hard to look at the pictures and not want to rush right back!!!!! Can't say enough good things about this place and it's owner, Mary, who goes out of her way to make sure your stay is one to remember. If you're looking for privacy and a small cabin with beautiful views.....this is it!!!!! The cabin has everything you could need, all the basics but luxurious to boot!!!!! We can't wait to get back!!!!!!!!! Thanks for a honeymoon to remember Mary!
Owner's Response: I'm deeply humbled and flattered. I have a great time with most of my guests and am greatly pleased that they do, too.
