Set on the shores of Rice Lake, this home is the backdrop for a family story that spans generations. Nearly 100 years ago, the great-grandmother of The Blackbird Inn’s current owner, lived in this very home. A simple one-story cottage at the time, The Blackbird Inn was the setting for Mary McCluskey’s life story, and the life of the red-winged blackbird she rescued one winter long ago. He returned to her with each spring migration, coming to her call and landing on her finger. Now, the owners are honoring Mary’s memory by keeping the home in the family and opening it up for visitors to enjoy.
A buckboard wagon bench greets you in the breezeway, an homage to the very buckboard that brought Mary to this area in the late 19th century. With rich history, yet modern amenities, guests can enjoy this two bedroom, two bathroom retreat with fast WiFi, a smart TV, bluetooth sound system, board games, books, and binoculars to enjoy the beautiful variety of birds and wildlife. In the Summer and Fall, bring a canoe or kayak to get out on the water, stroll the FFA and Lakeshore parks that border The Blackbird Inn’s property, or simply enjoy the beautifully landscaped gardens. During Winter, hop on the snowmobile trail, do some birdwatching while sitting by the fire, or shop and eat at the many small businesses in Rice Lake.
Step into the breezeway where you are greeted with floor to ceiling windows, a sliding glass door, and a spacious chair-and-a-half which pulls out into a twin bed. The kitchen features a full sized stove/oven, with a miniature dishwasher, and mid-sized refrigerator. The lake facing side of the house includes a living space with more windows and space to take in the views, as well as a woodburning fireplace for cozy days. This space also features a full sized pull out sofa sleeper. Off the kitchen, an open concept living room has a smart tv and comfortable seating with a full bathroom. Upstairs, enjoy a convenient desk for remote work or to explore your creative side. The primary bedroom features a king bed, five windows for more views of Rice Lake with a door opening directly into the upstairs full bathroom. The second bedroom has a queen bed.
