About this property

Bluebird House; A Charming 3BR Home Near Five Island Lake, Sleeps 6

  • Welcome to the Bluebird House—a beautifully updated 1902 home where historic character meets the comfort and convenience of a whole-house stay.

    Whether you’re visiting family, traveling for work, attending an area event or simply spending a few days in Northwest Iowa, you’ll have plenty of room to relax, spread out and feel at home. Why squeeze everyone into hotel rooms when you can enjoy an entire private home?

    ROOM TO RELAX • SLEEPS 6+

    The Bluebird House features three upstairs bedrooms with four beds:

    • 2 bedrooms with queen beds
    • 1 bedroom with 2 twin beds
    • Additional sleeping options include a sofa and air mattress

    With two full bathrooms—one upstairs and one conveniently located on the main floor—getting everyone ready is a little easier.

    EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO FEEL AT HOME

    This fully furnished home offers much more than a place to sleep. Enjoy a separate kitchen with a large pantry, dining room, comfortable living room, sunroom, private office, washer and dryer, and plenty of space for everyone to have a little room of their own.

    Working while you’re here? The private office gives you a dedicated place to settle in and get things done.

    ENJOY THE OUTDOORS

    The large backyard gives you even more room to relax and enjoy the beautiful Iowa weather. Guests have access to an outdoor gas grill, firepit and lawn chairs. Just bring your own firewood and enjoy an evening outside.

    A CONVENIENT EMMETSBURG LOCATION

    The Bluebird House is conveniently located near downtown Emmetsburg and Five Island Lake, with restaurants, bars, a supermarket, Casey’s General Store, the local movie theatre and more within walking distance.

    Wild Rose Casino, parks, shopping and additional restaurants are only minutes away.

    Emmetsburg also makes a great home base for exploring Northwest Iowa. Area lakes, hunting and outdoor recreation, the West Bend Grotto, wineries and other attractions make for easy day trips while still giving you a comfortable home to return to at the end of the day.

    MORE THAN A HOTEL ROOM

    At the Bluebird House, the entire private home is yours to enjoy—three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, laundry, office, living spaces and backyard.
