A great, no-fuss place to lay your head and to relax. The resident chickens are what sold me to book here and they didn't disappoint. Thank you Eric for welcoming us to your neck of the woods.

Not gonna lie I was a little nervous when we got there, but it ended up to be absolutely amazing!!! The Vrbo homeowner was an absolute Angel! He helped us with anything and everything we needed… The chickens in the bunnies were an absolute blessing! True peace and serenity would go back in a heartbeat

Birds and buns is so lovely. The house is cozy and full of thoughtful details. The animals are adorable and the short ride to the springs was perfect for our weekend getaway. Eric has gone above and beyond to make a fun and welcoming space. Highly recommend a visit!

Wonderful little place to stay. My kids loved the chickens and bunnies. The host even had treats the kids got to bring out to the animals. So sweet. Also the house had a great assortment of board games for that afternoon thunderstorm that hits Florida everyday.

This location is great if you’re trying to get ahead of the line at Old Sugar Mill, since it's just a few minutes away. Eric provides a very quaint experience with many thoughful details to offer a comfortable and convenient stay. The games and putting green were a hit. Here's a review by my 11 and 13 year olds: We highly recommend! The animals are social and the bunnies are really cool to hold. Salem the kitten was so friendly and playful. Eric rescues animals. Gator the dog was friendly and playful. The chickens were fun to watch. Eric was very nice.

The pictures are NOT accurate. We did not even stay 2 hrs. Mouse poop on floor, no stove, no washer or dryer. Patio covered in dirt chicken poop and leaves. Patio furniture was discusting and dirty. You didn't even want to sit on it. Yard. Not mowed. Junk sitting all over. Do not book

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Jan 2026
This is absolutely false. We have been "superhost" on another site for over a year now. All great reviews.. When I asked where the mouse poop and photo, none could be provided. Washer and dryer is in building attached to this home. We have a electric hot pad for cooking and outside grill, Which we told them in there welcome instructions. We have chickening roam free, (which guest didnt seem to be fan off.) We take great care of this space and dont appreciate these false Accusations. Especially after we refunded you. Please dont let this false review effect your discussion withyour stay with us. Were here to answer any questions you have have before and during your stay thank you.
