Blue Birdhouse Bliss!

My Niece and I stayed at the Blue Birdhouse for her Spring Break and to see if we wanted to visit this area in the summertime, as we had never been there. The Owner of this house was gracious and kind and very responsive to any questions or requests. We also took our dogs with us and they had a blast in the fenced back yard! Every time we went to look somewhere up to visit, it seemed like everywhere was between 5 - 10 minutes away! Location is absolutely awesome and close to virtually everything!! The house was very clean and really cute! And again the Owner of the house is a very nice and kind person! Very comfortable house and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We would absolutely want to stay there again next time we visit the area!!! Thanks so much!!! Had a great time!!!

Wonderful relaxing weekend at your darling bluebird by the dunes.

Very clean! Turned cold so unfortunately we couldn’t use your fire pit and outdoor furniture but hope to be back when weather cooperates. We did have a nice sunny cool day at the dunes and enjoyed a delicious lunch at the pavilion. We have been waiting years for it to open!!!!!! We also have a VRBO rental and I jotted down some of your extra touches like the impression on the t tissue rolls lol… The only thing we missed was coffee in the morning. Couldn’t find any…..

Enjoyable stay

We totally enjoyed our stay at the Blue Birdhouse by the beach. Checking in was easy. Our 4 legged family member loved the fenced in yard for him to roam. So close to the National park and the places to eat and visit in Chesterton were so easy to get to. The house was clean and cozy. Would definitely book here again if we need short getaway.
