Stayed Jun 12, 2026Nice older home updated with many modern conveniencies! Very clean! Love the extra built in storage throughout the house! Convenient location for food and parks. Loved all the games, the 2 parks within walking distance, Casey's and the short drive to the Blurry Bigfoot coffee shop! Highly recommend this updated cozy home!

Stayed May 11, 2026Comfortable and well appointed. I did not notice that all the bedrooms are on the second floor with steep stairs. This proved a small challenge for one elderly person.

Stayed Jun 10, 2025We often stay at Vrbo's when we travel. We were very happy with our stay at the Bluebird House. The historic nature of the house was something my SIL and I really liked. And the house was completely updated and had everything a traveler could need was provided. Any questions we had were promptly answered by Margaret and Joe. Overall, our stay was great!

Stayed Apr 2, 2025I was traveling with family, unfortunately for a funeral. However, this house was a nice, relaxing place to come back to at the end of the day. Very clean & the hosts have thought of everything you might need. Easy, friendly communication with host, too.

Stayed Mar 6, 2025Wonderful home away from home. Margaret is a great hostess- thinks of everything! The house is very well stocked - from the kitchen to bathrooms. Comfy beds, blankets and lots of space to connect with our family. It was perfect.

Stayed Dec 11, 2024This was our 2nd stay at the Slice of Heaven property and it did not disappoint! The home was clean, well stocked, and as comfortable as the 1st visit. A winter storm came through during this visit and the property manager informed us that a snow removal service and ice melt were available if we needed them. We didn’t have to worry about anything - our stay was perfect!

Stayed Sep 13, 2024We really enjoyed the space. The house was bigger than I could tell from the listing, which was a pleasant surprise. The kitchen was great for mealtime and we made good use of the fire pit and grill. The backyard offered a decent amount of privacy, with no immediate neighbors.
