Bluebird History

The Bluebird Cottage Inn was built in 1957, as the Bluebird Hill Cottage. It started out as 10 units, located on the edge of Bluebird Hill, overlooking the western valley. Over the years it has expanded from a lodge building and a few duplex cottages to more cottages and cabins.

To this day, the Bluebird maintains its quiet location among the fresh green pines and cedars. It affords a refreshing view of great majestic beauty, and is far enough from the village to have its own quiet solitude.
