Recent stay

The house itself was very nice but the outside needs some TLC. The listing shows 2 bathrooms but in truth there is one full bath and a toilet with utility sink in the basement/game room area. The views were beautiful but sitting outside was not of interest

Cozy river side getaway

Great experience overall. As we walked in the the house it was clean and decorated for the holidays. The bottom floor was warm and our kids enjoyed all the games. The upper floor was clean, comfy and cozy and a great place to spend a few days away as a family.

Fun get away

Only a couple hours from where we live in Illinois and easy to get to to. Road going in is a bit rough but the house is simple and good set up for a small family. Close to lots of restaurants and stores. Kids enjoyed the video games in the basement.

I’ll Be Back Again!

We plan to stay again! The view of the river was amazing and can be seen from almost every window in the house. The kids loved fishing, sitting by the fire and playing with the games downstairs. The beds and bedding were very cozy. We also enjoyed watching the eagles and other wildlife.

Family get together

We had a nice family get together for Easter. The weather didn’t cooperate to be outside, but the game room in the basement provided for some friendly competition. We were able to bring our dog and enjoy the stay. The owners were quick to respond to any questions. The river view was great and we saw eagles.

Cozy 2 bedroom along the Mississippi river

We enjoyed the stay at 3 Little Birds VRBO. The upstairs has been remodeled and was very nice. We were somewhat confused by the game room as the video games were more the size for a child but we really didn’t have the time to use them. The house is very close to the river and my husband did enjoy fishing there.

Just what I need.

Perfect set-up. Fun lower level which we did not use much this trip but would love to in the future. Close enough to everything to give you convince and options.... But secluded enough to make it feel like a real getaway. There are 3-4 friendly puppers who wander freely on their potty breaks.... So just be aware if your pet is the anxious type. They are friendly and my pup never had any issues or direct contact... They just like to mossy on by and smell all te new smells. The place has a retro feel and hosts went out of thier way to be accommodating. Seriously, the only regret... As I didn't bring a rod and reel... I plan on returning.

Dog friendly, nice hosts, but needs more work

The interior upper rooms are clearly modernized and updated. Very nice except cheap and uncomfortable mattresses for the beds. Very nice modern TVs up and downstairs. Dog crate and toy were in the lower level which was a nice touch. Owners very responsive and very easy to access the property with electronic locks. Water pressure for the shower is too low. Lower level is a basement/ game room. But in wet whether it’s so damp and musty you don’t want to spend time there. A de-humidifier needs to be running 24/7. Access to the actual building was impeded by massive muddy 3-5 inch deep puddles that were half the size of the sunken driveway. The owners provided rubber boots which is nice but nicer would be if they completed the gravel fill in to the driveway so you don’t have to put muck boots on to bring your luggage inside and to come and go from the property. To be fair there had been a lot of rain prior to and during our stay. But it seems reasonable that guests can access the front of the property without walking through a water logged muddy driveway and yard. Overall do not recommend until the driveway and water pressure issues are addressed.

Great stay on the river

We enjoyed our family getaway and were very comfortable during our stay. It was a lot of fun to watch the river roll by and have bald eagles for neighbors! The electronic pinball was a lot of fun. Many thanks.

Peace and quiet in a comfy cottage

What a nice rental. Easy communication with the owners. Cottage had everything we needed AND video/pinball games. Perfect distraction during some very wet weather. When it wasn’t raining we took advantage of the Quad Cities and some of what they have to offer. Would return to Pleasant Valley and stay here again.

Everything we hoped and so much more!

Our plans were to check in and just enjoy the view from the home. The view was outstanding, even with all the leaves off the trees.. the sunsets were magical and the sunrises breath-taking. The row of windows facing the river allows all to enjoy the views even when it's a bit chilly out. We watched the river flow by and the the eagles fly overhead. But, wait, there is more! The inside of the house was immaculate with fun sprinkled all over. The 70's kitsch was nostalgic and the whole home is decorated warmly/comfy. Not only is there a full game room downstairs but the game closet upstairs is jammed packed of hours of games to play. We travel with our dog and the hosts provided food bowls, a large kennel and toys! There isn't much they didn't think of when it comes to vacationer's needs. Hosts were excellent assisting us with checking in and payments. Texts and emails were detailed. We highly recommend this property!

So relaxing, so comfortable!

With breathtaking views of the Mississippi this rental did not disappoint! The host was easily reached when I had a few questions. One of the nicest places I’ve stayed, I had a busy weekend planned and the Three Little Birds River House made me wish I had allowed more time to just relax at the rental. I found the Quad Cities to be delightful, so really, the only thing I would change when returning is planning a longer visit. Highly recommend:)
