Cottage with a View!

We were delighted with our short stay at the Blue Lake Yellow Cottage. The cottage is just steps away from the water, and we wish we'd been there on a warmer fall day to enjoy the lake in our canoe! It is pet and family friendly, and once we got the wi-fi back up and running, we had great connectivity. Perfect spot for a quick get-away.

Great stay

We enjoyed our time here. It’s a cozy, updated cottage next to the lake. Tina was responsive and helpful. We’d like to come back.

Blue Lake beauty

The cottage and area itself are just beautiful. As if it were taken straight from a story book. We stayed over Labor Day weekend and it was the perfect end to our summer. Tina really has thought of everything and is such an attentive host. You can tell great care has been taken in maintaining the cottage and providing guests with a memorable stay. We truly loved everything about our stay and can't wait to book again.

Beautiful lake, clean and comfortable cabin

Both blue Lakes are gorgeous and a perfect weekend getaway. Amazing for kayaking, floating, and fishing. The cabin was quaint, clean, and very comfortable. Everything was easy from scheduling to check in/out. Would stay again!

Slice of Heaven

WOW. What a perfect location for a family friendly get away. The lake was unbelievable clean and clear, the neighbors were welcoming and friendly, the road was quiet and safe and we were able to explore a bit on long walks in the morning. The house is perfect and well stocked, we truly enjoyed ourselves and would absolutely return. The host was also super responsive which was great.
