Love the Blue Bird
This was by far the most relax full vacation we have ever had. Property is fairly secluded, and very quiet. There is a barn just down the road with a loving Great Pyrenees, goats, chickens, and a few other animals.
I loved the smell of wood when walking in. Everything was well maintained and clean, Bed was comfortable, Kitchin had all the necessities, Wi-Fi was good, Wood burning heater was a nice touch,Short drive to a lot of things to do. The wife and I really enjoyed our stay and will return.
My boyfriend and I stayed for two nights and would recommend! The place was clean and cozy, more spacious than the photos, a comfortable bed, and an exceptionally peaceful back deck. There were no guests staying in the unit below us, so we had privacy and no neighbors. We had a great couple of days exploring the area, hiking, mountain biking, and visiting breweries.
