Summary: We had a wonderful vacation at the Blue Cottage! The home is beautiful and incredibly clean. Every need is considered. Kate was very communicative and answered every question, some anticipated before I could even ask. We would certainly stay again.

Summary: Our family recently stayed at this incredible lake house, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience. The home was impeccably decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly made us feel at home. Kate (The Host) put so much thought into every detail—from the helpful amenities like extra phone chargers in convenient places to having an Alexa available to play music in the living room. This was our first family vacation in years, and it truly exceeded all of our expectations. The setting, the home, and the hospitality combined to create an unforgettable experience for us. Everything was perfect and far beyond what we could have hoped for! It felt like 'home' away from home. We wholeheartedly recommend this VRBO to our family, friends, and clients. It’s a gem, and we’re already looking forward to the chance to return someday soon! Thank you for such a memorable stay!!

Summary: First off, Kate was an amazing host! She was super quick to respond to any questions we had and provided us with a notebook full of great information on restaurants, grocery stores, etc. There is a beautiful smell throughout this home. The owners spared no expense on the appliances, cookware/dishes, etc. The kitchen is super organized and fully stocked with every kitchen/bar gadget you need, along with an ice machine. The living space and patio are so inviting and comfortable. Plenty of space to spread out and relax. The bedrooms are spacious and dark and cool at night. All have an adjoining bathroom. The master bedroom/bath are huge. There were a ton of extra pillows, and the beds are extremely comfortable. Hand soaps/lotions in the bathrooms are high end and smell lovely. The lake beautiful! Dock is super clean w/an upstairs deck and nice comfy lounge chairs. We sat out there every night watched the sun go down. It was so quiet and peaceful. There is a water trampoline, kayak, floats, etc. to jump in the water and cool off. The pathway to/from the lake is very well lit and manicured. The downstairs floor has a full-size washer/dryer, ping pong, TV and very cozy. The lighting throughout this magnificent home has dimmers, so you can make any room as bright or cozy as you like. The garage is the cleanest and organized garage I’ve ever seen. There is a Blackstone grill for cooking out. There is a Kroger right up the road. We will definitely be back!

Summary: The house was just as shown. It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The dock was clean and as expected. The trampoline and water mat were a bonus. Water was very nice. We took out the canoe several days & caught some fish. The game room provided plenty entertainment. Beds were comfortable and all bathrooms were spacious and spa-like. Kitchen had everything we needed and was a great size. Just overall very pleased. We will consider staying here again if we return to this area. Owners were awesome as well. You won’t regret choosing this place!

Summary: I can't say enough about the entire experience staying at this lovely blue cottage on the lake. We booked the cottage (actually a really large house) on the lake as we were coming to the area with my son who will be stationed at Camp Merrill to be a Ranger Instructor. Upon my arrival, I found a lovely welcome package. Lots of little yummies to nibble on during our stay. The house was immaculate and there was music playing which was so welcoming. The house smelled fresh and clean. The house is stocked with everything you can possibly imagine to accommodate every single thing you might need. The house even has an ice machine - which is a "thing" for me! The comfortability of the house - outstanding. The flow is so easy and comfortable. The family room is relaxed , you will feel like you're at home. The kitchen is large and easy to find everything you need with numerous places to eat dinner. If you like you can even sit out on the screened in porch and enjoy the sounds of nature and the lake. The bedrooms are very comfortable. The beds are comfy and the beds are not super hard. I have stayed at VRBO's when the mattress is so hard its miserable. You won't find that a problem at the blue cottage. All in all, hands down I will stay here every time I am in the area visiting my son. Don't miss out on this place - book your stay!!!

Summary: The host has left nothing out of this rental. I have stayed in many homes but this one is one of the cleanest I have ever stayed in. The host has also provided everything you could ask for in amenities (and more)! It is so nice they allow people to use their kayaks and provide life jackets. The coffee pods were a nice bonus ! I would definitely recommend this home!
