We had an amazing experience staying at the Bluebird house. Breakfast was delicious every day with fresh pastries. The location is perfect for dinner or drinks and we used the bus system for our vacation with an easy pickup down the block. Would HIGHLY recommend this location.

My only reason for not giving five stars for property condition was that during the power outage of 1/9-1/10, the stairs to the basement rooms could have used emergency lighting of some kind--such as the cheap, battery operated devices that can be bought at any hardware store. The stairs were very dark! In fact, such lights could be installed in every room and corridor for very little money. Typically they are operated by touch and then turn on, providing limited hours of light during an emergency. Otherwise, I love the Bluebird guesthouse and plan more stays there this year!

I especially appreciate the environmental consciousness of the place, and the lack of scented and heavily chemical cleaning products -- except for the soap in the bathroom. I have allergies and I am always looking for non-scented places to stay.

First of all, the whole place is charming. Second of all there were hooks everywhere and I used them all! That may seem odd but it's my biggest issue with hotels. I hope to stay there again

This is a simple guesthouse, right on Division close to dining, shops, and the people we were visiting. Parking is on the street, but I've never had a problem finding a spot, break-ins, etc. Depending on the room, some of the fixtures could stand an update, but on the other hand, they are all vintage, so that is part of the charm.

A fun, funky old house with kind of an upscale hostel feel. Individual rooms with private bathrooms, big communal kitchen with lots of breakfast items to fix yourself. Parking is tricky as it is street parking only in a busy and popular area. You may have to walk a couple blocks but felt pretty safe. Great location! Would def stay here again.

The room was lovely and comfortable. We were not prepared for the "private bath" to be down the hallway. Also, entry to the guesthouse requires an access code for the security keypad. We were told we would receive the access code in an email message but we did not find an email. We were able to connect with the house manager (there is no staff on-site) by telephone and were informed the code would be in a text message. Breakfast is available in the kitchen but is do-it-yourself. The guesthouse is in an interesting neighborhood with dining and shopping available. On-street parking is available nearby.

Hi there, Unfortunately we are not able to distinguish between ensuite and down the hall, as well as other details, on Expedia and affiliates. On our own website we do go into detail about what to expect! Thank you for your understanding, and for the thoughtful review

Love this place!!
We loved this stay. The check-in hours were flexible and we were able to check ourselves in and not disturb anyone else, which was nice. Everything looked as it was listed. The private shower and bathroom were both small but nice. Everything was great and fir a great price!

Extremely comfortable stay in a prime Division Street location, close to most of the featured food and beverage shops. Fascinating unique home. Lots of common space and kitchen area and cozy places to sit and relax. Airport to within 40 yards of guesthouse with only one rail to bus transfer! Wonderful Stay!!

STAY HERE (but don't take my reservation!!!)
Okay, I hate doing this, because I don't want to be priced out of, or lose reservations to, this amazing property. It is an old school BnB in the true sense of the word. Each room is named after an author, and I was beyond pleased to stay in my childhood favorite author of all time's room!! AND THEY HAVE AVAILABLE THE RELEVANT READING MATERIAL!!!! The furnishings are lovely. Appropriately weathered so as to give an "antique" experience, but not so precious you feel like you're ruining a precious object by using it for it's intended purpose. Really beautifully appointed. The breakfast provided gave quite a variety of options. THE SERVICE IS UNPARALLELED! Special shout-out to Becca and Erika (yeah, fellow Aquarians!) and Chris, who really made my stay great. This is located on a fairly busy street, with lots of amazing shops, eateries, and a few dive bars nearby, but I was there from Saturday until Thursday, and never had a problem with noise (things quieted down by 9p). If it is possible to have a crush on a property, then I definitely do!!
Second room I stayed in - The Ken Kesey. A bit smaller, but totally snug as a bug, tucking down into the eaves, with the skylight above me. <3
READING MATERIALS!!! And I actually went on the walk described in the book - TO KLICKITAT STREET!!!!!
View out on to Division Street
Lovely armoire that easily accommodated all my hanging items!

Very clean, well laid out kitchen area with ample supplies for self serve breakfast. Several sitting areas. Roomy room, with private bathroom outside the room. I didn’t realize the room bathroom was down the hall in 2 separate rooms (one with shower and the other with toilet/sink.). It was serviceable Very quiet so had a great sleeping environment. Will gladly return.

My partner and I drove in for a concert, they got the room ready very quickly. It was very nice. Parking was no issue since we got in very early a spot was open right up front. Loved that there was pretty much no contact. Will for sure stay again if we go back up
