Another Great Stay @ Blue Birds Perch

This is our 2nd time staying at Blue Birds Perch - and by far the best place to stay. The home is delightful, plenty of space, with an amazing kitchen for gathering.

Perfect location and space!

We absolutely loved the space and the location. The views from the front porch are a amazing and the sunrise is unbelievable from the house! The owners are on site but they are so welcoming and hospitable. We will for sure be returning again when we come to the area. Highly recommend for groups or family trips!

Beautiful Home located in Amish Country

This home was beautiful, clean, comfortable, cozy, and spacious. We loved staying here again. We love the owners. They are so kind and even helped us unload our bags. Also it was only several minutes to town which was a huge plus.

Abundant natural light, gorgeous country views

Absolutely wonderful property and hosts in a location that offers lots of things to do locally and regionally. A beautiful, spacious home with multiple gathering areas indoors and out, huge custom kitchen with everything you might ever need, and windows in every room that provide great light all day and cozy comfort at night. Totally private, at the end of a lovely winding driveway. Ample parking for a group. The on-site owners, Tim and Cherie, are gracious hosts and clearly enjoy making guests comfortable and well cared for. My aunts and I had the best time and all 7 of us had space to be together or alone when we chose. I highly recommend Tim and Cherie and Bluebird's Perch. Best place ever!
