Adult Only Property

The Blackbird Inn and Finch Guest House are historic buildings with staircases, stained glass windows, and multiple balconies and porches. Many rooms have gas fireplaces, and large deep tubs.
For these reasons, the property is only suitable for Adults ages 18 and over.

Group Reservations

Three or more rooms, either booked together or individually by parties traveling together, constitutes a group reservation.
Group reservations at the Blackbird Inn and/or Finch Guest House require a two night minimum, a $200 deposit, and a no cancellation policy.
To book a group reservation, all four rooms in the Finch Guest House (Rooms 9-12) and/or all eight rooms in the main house (Rooms 1-8) must be booked. This is to ensure that all guests, including those not in your party, will enjoy their stay.
Example Group Room Configurations
Due to our small size, we do not allow, for example, only seven rooms in the main house, or only three rooms in the Finch Guest House to be booked for a group.
This policy supersedes policies shown for individually booked reservations through our website, or through third parties.
If you, or the parties you are traveling with, reserve rooms that do not follow the options listed above, you will be contacted by the Inn’s manager, and a contract meeting our Group Reservations policy will be required. If this policy is not followed, and a Group Reservation contract is not made, your reservations will be cancelled.

Holiday or Special Event Periods

Reservations during special event or holiday periods are subject to a longer cancellation policy, which will be stated in the confirmation notes. Should you not cancel your reservation within the specified timeframe, you will be charged for all nights of your original reservation. Additionally, a minimum night stay may be required, and early departures will be charged for the minimum length of stay.

Extended Stays & Early Departure Policy

Reservations for seven days or more are considered Extended Stays, and are subject to pre-payment of the entire amount at the time of reservation
A 14 day cancellation policy applies on extended stays
- For all reservations cancelled 14 days or more before the date of arrival, your deposit will be refunded minus a $25 processing fee
- Cancellations within 14 days of arrival, will forfeit 50% of the entire amount of the stay
- Once checked-in, early departures are charged for the entire length of the original reservation
