It was a lovely and very comfortable home! It had everything we needed and more! Marissa responded quick to any questions! We loved the house and the Dover Bay area! I would love to come back!
We loved Dover Bay and the home was clean, quiet and perfect for what we needed. We did feel like more kitchen basics could’ve been provided but we made it work! Communication with the owner was top notch. We would definitely stay here again!
Amazing place in a beautiful area. Pristine condition, host couldn’t be more friendly, helpful and accommodating😊

Julie,
It was a pleasure to host you and your family! Thank you for the amazing review 😊
We’d be happy to have you back to The Bird House whenever you visit the area again. Thank you!
cute bungalow, well decorated and very clean. It would be perfect for two couples - one in the loft area and the other bedroom. Not much outdoor space for relaxing in the summer, but we rented another house on the water that we used for that purpose for family get together - it all worked all well.
Spent time swimming at the lake, kayaking & relaxing.

We’re happy you enjoyed the 4th of July holiday at The Bird House and glad to hear you were able to get out on the water. Thank you for the review, we’d be happy to host you again in the future.
The house was perfect for our stay. Well appointed, tastefully decorated, great location just outside of Sandpoint. Had everything we needed. The host was great. Very welcoming.

Werner and Gayle,
So happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at The Bird House! We appreciate your very kind review. You were wonderful guests and we’d be happy to host you again for any of your vacations to Sandpoint.
Very pleased to discover this well-decorated and comfortable vacation rental. We were all impressed by the stylish decor and high end sofa and beds with luxurious linens. Sweet touches (bottle of wine, Kruerig coffee, and some snacks) and the cleanest place I have rented yet on VRBO. Thank you! And especially for allowing the early check-in. Will stay here again for sure!

Stacey,
We are so happy you enjoyed The Bird House! Thank you for the great review. We take pride in the condition and cleanliness of our home, so thank you for recognizing that. You were wonderful guests and we’d be happy to host you again!
We loved this darling modern bungalow! It was clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The upstairs loft made for the perfect "kids hangout" and having their own bathroom to use was a game changer! The host provided excellent communications regarding the check-in/check-out process, which we found to be super helpful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us Marissa! We are looking forward to our next stay!

Melinda, thank you for the beautiful review! We are so happy to hear that your family enjoyed their stay. We look forward to your return!
Very nice, clean property just steps from Pend Orielle River..public swim area was convenient for swimming, paddle boards, all round water fun. There is a great pathway that winds down to the river and around the neighborhood that is awesome and Sandpoint is just down the road about 5 miles.
The bungalow is tastefully decorated, had the basics you need to cook a meal. We enjoyed using the grill in the evening and sitting on the porch. Quiet area, totally recommend if your looking for a relaxing getaway.
Our family traveled to Dover for a friends wedding. Never having been in the area before, we booked Marissa's little cabin by the lake. We could not have been happier! From the get go, Marissa was very easy to reach and answered all my questions quickly. Check in was easy as Marissa sent directions beforehand. Wifi was fast, and the house was outfitted with everything anyone could need for a comfortable stay. The cabin was furnished beautifully- with plush towels, comfortable beds and soft pillows. A little welcome gift was left for us and we enjoyed it immensely! I would gladly stay at Marissa's property again and would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Dover.

Thank you for the exceptional review Autumn! We are so happy that you picked The Bird House for your visit to Dover. It was a pleasure to have your family as our guests and we’d love to host you again should you decide to make a return trip to Dover!
Cheers,

We booked this last minute for our elderly parents since their previous travel
Plans were altered due to weather. Marissa was an absolute dream to work with. Always available for questions & help as we were getting checked in. Our parents were welcomed with holiday cookies, a bottle of wine, and a nice card. They were comfortable and everything was provided to make their stay pleasant. There was a lot of snow & ice with temperatures dipping below zero some days. She provided a snow shovel, which we used a lot, & salt for the walk ways & steps. It is the perfect spot for a nice couple getaway & will be watching for future dates to rent for ourselves.

About the host
Hosted by Marissa Bird
I am a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel who has traveled many places, moving often during my career. That experience has shaped my deep appreciation for short term rentals with a luxury feel. My family and I are excited to host a vacation space that feels comfortable while you are away from home. We hope you enjoy the local area and return to the Bird House for many years to come.
