JuliaJune 25, 2025Verified This cute little house was perfect for my fiancé and I to stay at for part of our honeymoon! We stayed for 3 nights and regretted not staying for longer! Yosemite park entrance is a little over an hour away and about 2 hours into the valley. We went to Yosemite for a couple days and enjoyed the proximity and beautiful ride it was to there! We loved coming back to this place after a long day to kick back and relax and enjoy more nature. We highly recommend staying here for a getaway with your partner. TimJune 22, 2025Verified We had a great time! This Airbnb was as private as one could want, but not isolated. It was easy to find and get to from the Bay Area. Lisa’s instructions were clear and there were no surprises. We also liked her recommendations for hikes and restaurants - the Standard Pour has some of the best fries that I’ve ever had.There was plenty to do in the area for our weekend trip. We visited George and his llamas at a nearby Airbnb experience which was well worth it. We also made it to Yosemite for a day trip. It was my first time in a national park and I was blown away. We’ll definitely be back.The Airbnb itself was cute. There were so many good spots to have a cup of coffee in the morning and enjoy nature. The starry sky at night was also romantic. It wasn’t too hot but the AC unit seemed like it would’ve held up at higher temperatures.Overall, I would book this place again and recommend it to my friends and other couples. RitaJune 13, 2025Verified We loved our stay at the birds nest! The house was comfortable and I loved how unique it was. It was fun to see all of the animals that visited the pond and the property. My favorite visitors were the toads. I’ve never seen so many! Thank you for sharing your wonderful retreat! CourtneyJune 7, 2025Verified The Bird’s Nest was nothing short of amazing!! This peaceful getaway was exactly what my boyfriend and I needed. The surrounding areas are home to rich history and the Bird’s Nest is within an hour of an abundance of activities to do and things to see. Ending our night looking out at the pond and seeing wildlife in the evening and early morning was magical! We loved Lisa’s recommendations for cider tasting at Indigeny Reserve and dinner at The Standard Pour. Don’t hesitate to book yourself a trip to this GEM! AlexiaJune 5, 2025Verified We had a wonderful stay! Lisa was an incredibly communicative and proactive host — everything was seamless from start to finish. The property is in a beautiful, peaceful setting full of birds and wildlife, which made it feel extra special. The neighborhood was perfect for morning walks: quiet, safe, and tucked away. It was the ideal spot for a weekend away — restful, warm, and easy. Would absolutely stay again! KoryMay 28, 2025Verified We loved our little desert oasis and cannot wait to come back! The house is extremely unique and comes equipped with everything you could need! We loved relaxing outside and watching all the wildlife around the pond. Words cannot due justice to how wonderful the property is. Stop your search now and stay here, trust me! JonathanMay 26, 2025Verified This home is a hidden gem if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful area to unwind and take in nature. 10 out of 10 recommend and will rebook if the opportunity comes up again. ArashMay 19, 2025Verified Words cannot describe how amazing this little fairytale cabin is!!!!! I went to bed with the sound of frogs and woke up with the sound of the birds. Our host, Lisa, helped us the entire time with wonderful recommendations and answered all our questions in a timely manner. I simply cannot wait until I go back to this little cabin in the woods. Thank you, Lisa, and thank you to all the wild animals that made this experience a slam dunk. KaraMay 11, 2025Verified What a lovely getaway for the weekend! It looks just like the pictures- cute, quirky, and peaceful. Thanks so much for a great stay!!! JimApril 25, 2025Verified My wife and I had an INCREDIBLE time at this epic getaway. The deer and geese kept us company and the building was perfect. A unique experience we will certainly visit again soon.
