Loved our stay
We 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.

Very nice and homey
Margaret worked very hard to get ac fixed which was broken for about 8 hours in intense heat but after getting a technician out all was good and we enjoyed the rest of our visit. Thanks.

Happiness at Bluebird House
This property has it all, you don't need to bring much along, just your clothes. (I brought too much!) WiFi worked great. The house layout works well so that we could be together but have some alone space as well. Kitchen is well equipped, including many spices, cooking oil, snacks, popcorn, creamers, coffee pods or coffee for brewing. We prepared most of our meals and found nothing lacking. There were plenty of dishes, silverware, glassware, bakeware, pots & pans. Neighborhood and streets were safe for daily physical exercise routines (running, walking). Drivers were always courteous and shared the road. This is definitely a welcome place to stay and enjoy. We'll be back.

Another great Saint Patrick's weekend stay
We stayed here again this year, and it was great. Really convenient location to walk to downtown and the park for the kids. House was clean, communication was great and check in and check out were seamless. Will be looking to make it part of our yearly tradition to the Saint Patrick's celebration. The kids love all the games that are at the house especially the lap harp that was a big hit this year.

Little Slice of Heaven in Iowa
We had a great stay. Centrally located in the city. It was great having the gas station nearby so we could walk to get anything we needed. The house was very clean and cozy. It had anything you could possible need if you forgot something. The communication with the owner was timely and she was very helpful with everything I asked or needed. I would highly recommend this house.

Country town charm!
The Bluebird house description was true to form. The house was extremely clean and comfortable. Our attentive hosts thought of every last detail...down to providing high end toiletries, laundry detergent and extra toothpaste if needed. The kitchen is extremely well stocked for cooking and baking. The beds are comfy and linens super soft. The living space was perfect for our family. It’s a very short walk to the quaint downtown Emmetsburg, disk golf park, and beautiful lake park. This house is definitely a “must stay” if you are looking to feel right at home while away from home.

Beautiful House - We Enjoyed Our Stay
We had a great stay and would stay again. The downstairs is large and wonderful with lots of space. The kitchen is beautiful and freshly remodeled. We did a lot of cooking. We enjoyed eating in the dining room and relaxing in the living room at night. There are so many great amenities provided including snacks, water, plenty of dishes and cooking utensils, shower amenities, lots of laundry stuff, plenty of clean towels etc. The host really thought of everything. There is a downstairs bathroom with a new walk-in shower and laundry, as well as the upstairs bathroom with shower and tub. You can't get a more central location, we could walk to lots of shops and the movie theater. Excellent communication with the friendly host. Check in and check out were seamless. Five Stars!

Great stay for St. Pats
Great location to downtown for the festivities. Great communication and house was really nice. Great renovation on an older home to maintain the charm and bring more modern. Will definitely look to stay again.
