We had a lovely stay! Johnson City was a great town to visit and this house was in the perfect location. We could easily get on the road to go to Pedernales State Park, or walk into town for dinner and drinks. Everything about the house was perfect for us, and our dogs loved sun-bathing on the turf in the yard. Highly recommend for a weekend away!

Perfect Wine Weekend Getaway!
Where do I begin! This was the best VRBO experience I have ever had. Eric was great in communication and the small details were noticed! Including using my last 4 digits of my phone number for the door lock code, so smart. The house was beautiful, very clean, and smelled great! I am always a little leery about a hot tub but again it was perfectly clean and smelled like the correct amount of chemicals The beds are comfortable with an assortment of pillow softness for everyone. We did not bring kids with us this trip but they thought of the families too! Games, kids dish-ware, towels and blankets galore. We hope to come back to this area and will definitely be using them again!!

A real nice getaway
The Bluebird was very nice and clean. There were unexpected pet friendly amenities (dog dish & crates) for our Corgi that were unexpected and a pleasant surprise. The bed was very comfortable and the hot tub was very relaxing. Proximity to the places we wanted to visit was just right. Also, on the first night I spotted a HUGE mule deer buck across the street through the large kitchen window. Would recommend.

Adorable home with fantastic location
As my friend said upon arrival, “this place is adorable!” This was my second time staying at Bluebird. Lovely, clean and well-laid out floor plan. Great, secure yard for our dogs. I do wish there was more grass back there, but the drought this summer has been hard on everyone! Excellent location—we walked to wine tasting as well as dinner each night. Will definitely stay again.

Quaint little house
We absolutely loved our stay at the bluebird. It was a gery last minute trip to just get away and spend some much needed alone time with my husband. We had plenty of privacy and just enjoyed relaxing. There's enough to do in the area and it's not far from several larger towns, but has the quietness of a sweet small town. Truly enjoyed our weekend!
