Can’t imagine a more relaxing spot

Stayed with my husband and father-in-law while in town for a nearby wedding and all three of us instantly fell in love with the place. Perfect size for the three of us, cozy and charming with so many options for sitting and enjoying the outdoors or indoors, so clean and well maintained, so much to offer! It really felt like a comfortable home and not just a place we were renting for a few days. Not to mention the area itself is so quiet and beautiful. We had a wonderful time and would come back in a second!

Always a pleasure

We’ve stayed at Bluebird Cottage several times and have never been disappointed. The “Welcome Back”card from Barbie was a nice touch. We also loved the addition of televisions in both bedrooms. It’s a great spot to sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet of the lake.
