Property was as described. It was Accommodating and my family had the best time. Plenty of sleep options even though it’s a one bedroom. The best part was the early mornings on the porch with coffee watching the water

We so enjoyed our stay at the Birds’ Nest! We plan to stay there again next year. The wraparound balcony provides shade no matter the time of day, and the views are serene and beautiful—especially at sunrise and sunset. We had a great time watching the birds patrol the river, looking for fish to nab. The interior of the house is really comfortable and attractive; it’s like being in a tree house! Plenty of towels, for which I am always grateful. Very comfortable bed. Nice touches like coffee, snacks, and condiments in the kitchen. Sitting on the balcony with coffee in the mornings was so nice we had to tear ourselves away to go into town! But I do have to say, it would have been nicer if the outside spaces and furniture had been free of cobwebs and other debris. The exterior of the cottage needs some serious brushing and sweeping. Otherwise, it is just a lovely place. Highly recommended!

This place is magical. I spent most of my stay sitting in the sun on the porch watching the turtles, herons, egrets and kingfishers. Location, location, location. Five minutes from town and in the river. The house has everything you need for a wonderful stay. If you need to relax and recharge, this is the house for you.

We had a wonderful time in the cabin. Everything is close, including restaurants, grocery stores, campus NSU, golf course, public pool, and downtown. Everything you need for relaxing, fishing, working, and enjoying time in romantic accommodation. The host was very nice and friendly. Jennifer is easy to communicate with, and he helped us with any questions. We will come back again for sure.

This was our third visit to the Birdnest on the Cane because we love the secluded-looking setting, the lovely property which is always properly cleaned and supplied, the historic town of Natchitoches, and the ALWAYS responsive owner. We like that the house is located very near all the entertainment, the restaurants, and plantations. There is a wrap around deck and boat dock. The modern kitchen has everything. Even the icemaker works. The wildlife on the river is varied, including a 7 ft. alligator who has learned to come around at all meal times. We especially love the paddle boat. The Birdnest on the Cane is a great value, also. We plan on returning again. Thanks so much, Jennifer, for another wonderful visit.

This is a great property if you're in the Natchitoches area! Very clean, comfortable & well stocked. Easy communication with the host. The ONLY reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was because the property was only semi-private. It is located behind an existing home.

Our trip started out nice with ease of check in and nice relaxing place as advertised. However second night into our stay the temperature goes to 84 as air conditioner not working. It is after 10 PM so I email management. I call at 7:30 the next morning as we are trying to decide if we need to go to another place and are leaving for a day trip (leaving earlier than planned as so hot inside). Phone rolls to voicemail. I call 2 more times before reaching management at noon because they are sick with COVID. At around 2 pm get a message asking if permission is ok to enter. I respond yes. Get a message at 4pm that they are fixing it. I hear nothing back but I call at 8:16 PM when I return because even though a little cooler it is still 82 degrees. I am told it was 90 when repaired and will just take awhile to cool down. We stay up until after 2 AM and it is still at 76. Finally on Saturday morning it is down to 74. I was not offered a credit for when the air conditioning was not working. Considering that we had 2 very hot, miserable nights I felt we should have been offered a credit for a least one day as it was way too hot for us to be in the space. I understand it was bad luck that both air conditioner went out and owner sick with COVID but feel we should have been offered a credit at least for one day/night. It was 98 outside and so hot inside plus I am spending time messaging to find out if can be fixed. Was not a relaxing Thursday night or Friday or Friday night.

This girls trip was the best! The porch overlooking the river was just beautiful, the surround sound music for the porch made it just perfect. This owner has thought of everything for your visit, making it easy to stay. Between kitchen basics and a movie collection and blankets galore to snuggle. I already can’t wait to come again as we visit Natchitoches pretty often :)

Great spot to be on the water. Very nice accommodations, but if you are going to fish, bring your bait with you because there are no bait shops in this town. After getting checked in, we had to drive about 18/miles one way to find a live bait shop. Other than that, the stay was great. We have already recommended it to some friends.
