From the Owner: "Thank you so much for the 4-star review! We are thrilled to hear that the kids enjoyed the pool and that you found the beds comfortable and the kitchen well-equipped. It was a pleasure hosting you at The Mockingbird, and we hope to welcome your family back again soon!"
Beautiful, clean home. Plenty of room for the family. Kitchen and bathroom were well stocked with amenities. My family loved the pool and game/library area.
The pool was a big hit. I was concerned that heating the pool would not be effective but by day 2 and using the solar blanket at night the water temperature was perfect. The beds were firm

From the Owner: "Thank you for the review, Rhonda! We’re so glad to hear the pool and solar blanket worked out perfectly for your stay. Regarding the beds, we appreciate the feedback. Comfort is certainly subjective, and while we aim for a supportive feel, we know preferences vary. We hope to welcome you back again soon!"
Great location near the River, Swampy's, and Blue Run. The house is perfect for a couple of families. The kids loved the pool and we all loved the house. Would definitely stay again.
House was very clean and just perfect for my family! Had everything we needed.

The home was lovely and stocked with everything that we needed! It made our 10 day stay feel like home. I absolutely loved the pool and the safety gate for my 19 month old grandson. We were able to relax more when we just hung out there, without having to worry about him falling in the pool. So I highly recommend if you have “little ones!” The pool was nice and warm too, just the way we like it. My parents live only 10 miles away and so it was convenient for them to come and visit. I would definitely rent this home again, in the future.
One of the best rentals I ever stayed. My 5 best girlfriends were celebrating for my 50th. The host left a beautiful bouquet and balloons, such a sweet gesture! Would definitely stay again! Host is very responsive and kind!
The stay was wonderful and very peaceful. The only feedback is to update the pool area, however, the house the location, the decor and the comfort and peacefulness was great for a peaceful retreat!
My family and I loved the home! Very clean, great location, and we loved the pool. Had a couple minor issues come up but the host was very quick to respond and fix. Definitely recommend and look forward to coming back next year!
The house was very clean and convenient to everywhere we needed to go. The owners had everything available that you could possibly need! Thanks for a great place to stay! Highly recommend and hope to come back!
This house is super pretty and comfortable. There are a lot of amenities, like floaties for the pool and extra amenities in the restrooms. Bedding is super comfortable and super nice. Kitchen is very well equipped. The best part of our stay was the host. He responds immediately and always goes the extra mile. Also, the location is great. We went kayaking/paddle boarding to the rivers. I highly recommend this place for a wonderful vacation!
We had a good stay at this property. The place was clean and had most of what we needed for a comfortable visit. The location was convenient-close enough to local shops and restaurants, but still quiet enough to relax.The host was responsive and easy to communicate with, which made check-in and check-out smooth. The kitchen was adequately stocked, and the beds were comfortable enough for a good night’s sleep.Overall, it was a solid choice for our trip.
