Aug 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Weekend at the Bluebird Nest A delightful place to stay. Away from the city proper but close enough to daughter’s apartment near TX ST to help her move in. Very unique and fun experience, super clean, and had all the things we needed to feel at home. ##### Paula Z. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Janis Z. Sep 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy A perfect get away for the weekend, loved all of the extra amenities and supplies. It was clean and comfortable. We had a little trouble with the lock as it didn't pop open, had to sort of pry it open. Wanted to sleep in the loft but there was a dead June bug and some other littles up there. But, hey it is in the country!! ##### Janis Z.
