Great stay for a holiday gathering with family. All the things needed to host a family dinner were available. The back patio space is perfect for hanging out. The addition of a blind over the kitchen sink and a fenced in back yard would be awesome additions.

We loved our stay at the yellow bird cottage! We were visiting to attend a VT football game and this location only took about 20-25 minutes to reach Blacksburg. It is adorable and cozy. There is a fantastic deck and yard out back. We also enjoyed relaxing by the cozy fireplace after a long day.
