Unfortunately we came during the cold snap. The radiators took forever to heat up the house and the first 2 days we all walked around in hats and gloves. The house is spacious, although very dated. Some of the rooms had a musty / old smell - you eventually get used to it. Not sure if it was the cold or something else, but all of us had terrible issues with our allergies while we stayed. It is 3 separate areas that you have to go outside in order to reach - this is not ideal in single digit weather. None of the fridges had water dispensers and the water from the faucet was cloudy, so be prepared to buy bottled water - although good news, there is a grocery store nearby. I’m guessing it would be a nice place to stay in the spring (although summer renters be wary, there is no central air). I don’t think we will be back - it did not work well for the 13 of us. Also - there is a clause in the rental contract about a hot tub - but don’t get your hopes up - there was no hot tub.

Decor was a bit rustic/grandmotherly. But comfortable for all. A bit of musty smell in unit 1, but dissipated once the heat was on. Incurable beds, newer baths. All in all, a good find.

We have a large extended family group who take a trip together to the mountains during the fall of each year. This house is unique in its layout and arrangement and actually worked very well for the multiple smaller groups within the family. The inside was spacious, and the outdoor areas were very inviting. I particularly liked the very wide porch on the main level which was well furnished with a nice large table, plenty of chairs and several comfy rocking chairs. The lower patio area was also nice and the firepit worked great for smores night. The house is over 100 years old and exhibited its charm with older fixtures and hardware but nonetheless had all of the modern necessities. As far as I know, everyone in our group really enjoyed our stay at Birdwood and enjoyed the charms of Montreat and its neighboring Black Mountain community.

Birdwood was the perfect size for our family when we were invited to a destination wedding. Historic home with lots of character. We loved the fire pit patio, just wish we had more time to enjoy it.
