Cozy and well maintained

This home was so thoughtfully done and had a great feel for our family. There was space to sit quietly in the living area and patio as well as a large comfy couch for us to watch movies in the basement. We so appreciated the thoughtful and intentional touches- from what books were included, games, scavenger hunt for the kids, wood and sticks ready for the firepit, and overall decor. Very well done. Hope to stay here again!

Charming stay with everything you need!

Blackbird is charming, comfortable and clean! The views and location are excellent. Gorgeous sweeping mountain views and easy to get to town. It was snowy when we were there and the views even more dramatic. We love to cook and the kitchen is fully stocked, well organized and very clean. We will definitely be back! Thank you

Sylva time

Property owners, great job to you, very nicely done. Some hoops to jump through with the property management group, and their paperwork speaks to you like you are a hobo, but I get it, sure there are lots of folks that don't take care of properties. VRBO should create a section for verified users that actually take care of properties and have higher expectations. Very nice property and the owners did a great job thinking through all of the amenities.
