This is a lovely little condo, perfect for a couple. The stairs are beginning to be a problem for us, so be aware if you have any mobility issues. This little condo is done with perfect taste and quality items like linens etc. We enjoyed staying here.

Dear Verna, we wanted to take a moment to thank you for choosing Bluebird #228 for your stay. It was a pleasure having you as our guest and we're grateful for your kind words. You're always welcome so feel free to return anytime. Sincerely, Claire/Cozy Cabins
Bedsheets had cat hair of wish I am seriously allergic. They had not been changed. I asked to speak manager in regards to giving us a discount for this inconvenience but no one returned my call.
The location was convenient and cozy. It was just down the road from Inn of the Mountain Gods and Pillows Funtrackers, but still set off in a nice cozy, forested area where it was quiet with a river in the backyard.
It's small, but nicely located. Saw deer from the balcony every day. Small refrigerator, tends to ice up. We did cook breakfast every day. Thanks for the nice stay.
Property is dated. Wallpaper in bath is peeling and pinned to the wall. Sofa was uncomfortable and very worn. Kitchen was not well equipped. Television is not high definition.
This was my second time, in #228 and it won't be my last.
This was my second time, in #228 and it won't be my last. It is perfect for my dog and I. Love the view from the balcony and having access to a nice trail that it is easy to walk. Spoke with Jeremy. He was informative and friendly
