About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Bird House centrally located minutes from Providence, Newport, Bristol

May of 2025 Fall River MBTA Station is finally opening. The station is just 5 miles from the apartment and will take you into Boston's South Station.

This charming, fully-renovated 2nd floor apartment in Somerset's historic village district is your perfect home base for exploring the area.

Relax on the private 3rd floor balcony and 2nd floor deck enjoying stunning panoramic views of the Taunton River and Mallard Point.
Enjoy watching a variety of bird species fly by throughout the day, making The Bird House a true haven for nature lovers!

Inside, you'll find a modern and comfortable space with newer appliances, electronics, and furniture. We've chosen high-quality mattresses, pillows, and linens to ensure a restful night's sleep after your adventures. Everyone gets a hot shower with the on demand tankless water heater. This house was built in the 1800’s. The stairs getting up to the apartment are very steep and are not for everyone. Please take this into consideration if you plan to have older family members as part of your booking party.

The Bird House comfortably accommodates up to 5 guests with 2 queen beds, 2 additional full size beds and a crib encompassing 3 bedrooms. There's also space for up to 3 extra guests for an additional fees. Two off-street parking spaces are available in the driveway parking area. More may be made available upon request.

Ideal for a relaxing getaway or exploring the area. Enjoy the oversized fenced yard while sitting by the fire on the outside patio. In the off season, the apartment is perfect for remote work crews.

Cool place
House was great, spacious with all the amenities we wanted. Lots of pretty steep stairs, but that really made the place that much more interesting as the view was quite nice from the main area on the second floor and even better from the third floor.

Family reunion
Property was just as described. It was very clean and very comfortable. It was well appointed with all the things we needed. The only suggestion I would have would be to have a window AC unit in the main living area. Other than that we have no complaints we enjoyed our stay. Hi

Carpenter Ant House
We had to kill a bunch of carpenter ants in the house!!! Stairway is very narrow and steep…not ideal for seniors!! Floor is not level in a couple of spots. There were way too many Trump flags in the community for my liking!!! Don’t rent if you’re not Anglo-Saxon!!! Most of the cookware was unusable! And it’s possibly across the street from a crack house!!

Golf Trip in the area
Excellent location that allowed us to visit several areas in Rhode Island and Mass for golf outings. Having parking and laundry capabilities was a big plus.

Quiet and clean
We stayed here while attending a wedding nearby. We didn’t have much time in the house but found our stay relaxing. The balcony was great, neighborhood quiet and overall more than met our needs

Birthday Celebration
I booked this property for our family to be able to celebrate the birthday of my youngest granddaughter. My son and his family live in Cranston, RL and it was a fair distance to commute. The property was everything advertised on VRBO listing and more. Beds were extremely comfortable and a cozy decor. Just wished we could have stayed a little longer to enjoy all it had to offer. I may have to plan a return trip in the future.

Beautiful river views and lovely space for our family
Our son was graduating from college nearby in Norton, and this property was the perfect place for our family. Newly renovated, tastefully decorated, and very comfortable for our small group. The river views were gorgeous, the setting very peaceful in a quiet neighborhood. The balcony on the second floor was wonderful. Comfortable seating, umbrellas, and a gas grill. It was less than a half hour drive to Norton on quiet country roads. 15” to Taunton, and Fall River just over the bridge. Grocery stores and restaurants nearby. We would definitely stay here again - loved it. The owner, Craig, was very helpful and friendly, and takes great care of this property.
