Summary:
Nestled beneath the tree canopy at Cliffwood Colony, 🌲 Bird Creek Cottage is a mid-century modern retreat filled with thoughtful touches throughout.

Very cool location. It was near the state parks we wanted to visit and short drive to our family members. Also Ligonier is a great little town with many good restaurants and a grocery store. It was just the two of us, but there was room for larger groups.
