Apr 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The perfect place to rest Studies show that birds only sing when they feel safe and the amount of birdsong from many varieties of birds you’ll hear during your stay at Bluebird Cottage are proof that this place is a safe haven. Located far enough from the freeway to be quiet but close enough to visit some great restaurants, Bluebird Cottage is even better than it looks in the pics. Marie and Allan obviously know how to make a house a home and this little space has everything you need to really unwind. The hammock is a great spot for a nap and the back patio is nice for curling up with a good book. The clucking of the chickens was a special joy and reminded me so much of my grandmothers house! If you’re looking to really let your nervous system rest and recover, I highly recommend this beautiful place. ##### Tammy K. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy D. Jun 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming and comfortable The Bluebird Cottage provided a wonderful place for us to stay while in town visiting family. Everything about the cottage is exactly as it is described, including a fully stocked kitchen complete with farm fresh eggs! The hospitality of the hosts is unmatched. We're looking forward to staying at the cottage on future visits. ##### Amy D. Stayed 9 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ana M.

This charming French-inspired cottage is perfect. So well appointed, clean (I'm very picky), comfortable (every surface has some cozy cover that is so comforting), and quiet. I am so glad we didn't stay in a hotel. This was exactly what I had hoped when I booked it and more. We were able to hike right from the front door. ##### Nancy L.

From the warm welcome upon arrival to the serene atmosphere, everything was perfect. The cottage is beautifully appointed with all the essentials and then some—perfect for both work and relaxation. If you're into hiking, definitely bring your shoes, as the surrounding trails are a must-explore. I came for business but would absolutely return for a retreat. Highly recommended!" ##### Deanne S.
