About this property

BlueBird Cabin ~ on Livingston Creek

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS PROPERTY:
LIVINGSTON CREEK! What a hidden treasure that you can explore by foot for a mile upstream into the wilderness. It runs year round and has pop-up waterfalls across the bank after rains. You can also hear the creek from the screened windows and porches during wet seasons. The creek is shallow, not boat navigable, but trout run up in the cooler months. For decades the owners have welcomed flocks of bluebirds to this property that return year after year. This property has the soul of its artists' owners throughout: local crafts, books about the area, local made furniture. It is a quintessential Ozark getaway.

Wonderful, quiet mountain cabin on a creek
We went to Bluebird during Spring Break to take our son to Dry Run Creek by Norfolk Dam. The cabin was wonderful and tastefully decorated. My wife is hyper critical with cleanliness, always wiping things down when we get there and cleaning the floors, but she remarked that this was the cleanest short term rental she's ever seen and after inspecting everything, just sat on the chair. We didn't spend much of the day at Bluebird, but the evenings were nice and quiet, on a quiet road. I did get to fly fish a bit up the creek one morning with no strikes and no sightings of anything but minnows, but the creek is a shallow limestone bed creek with beautiful views. This place is exactly something I would love to own if I lived anywhere close to the Ozarks. Any questions were answered with a phone call and any problems we had (not the owner's fault) were fixed promptly.
