We are so happy we stayed at “The Swirling Bird” for a summer weekend getaway! This house is perfect for a group or family. The house has plenty of space to spread out across three levels and lots of amenities from games to reading nooks so there is something for everyone. There aren’t many restaurants super nearby, so we opted to bring food with us and appreciated the well-stocked kitchen and grill. A few in our group ventured out to town, and others stayed put the whole weekend. Everyone had a great time. Shout out to the hosts- they were proactive in communication, and we when did have questions, they were quick to reply!

What can I say,this host went above and beyond to accommodate us, our previous rental had an electrical issue, since it was a storm the day before,as soon as I let her know she texted me right away, I couldn't resolve the problem so she offered to come and try to help us,and she did! We couldn't fix the electrical issue so she called for repairs and accommodated us in this amazing rental. Absolutely beautiful home with amazing views. I will definitely recommend this home to anyone specially if you have kids, it has an amazing game room for kids and adults.

There is a reason the reviews rave about the cabin, and we will absolutely join in the praise and hope to join the crew of return customers. Stayed Fri-Sun, wish longer, and we were able to request late check out last minute with quick response! Immediately noticed the cleanliness. Fully stocked kitchen, plenty of entertainment for kids ranging from 4-10yo and adults! Space comfortable for 9, all the decor thoughtful. Less than 5min to Bryce Resort and the perfect place to unwind after day of skiing. Thank you for a great weekend!
