Charming Cottage Retreat - Your Home Away from Home!

This cozy, charming cottage is perfect for your next vacation.
The beautiful lake in front of you is Big Blue. Crystal clear water and 86’ feet at its
deepest point. Trout and BlueGill are the primary fish in the lake. Big Blue is an all
sports lake with tubing, water skiing and jet skis. Walk out the door and take the road
on your right straight across to North Blue. 76’ feet at its deepest point, North Blue is a
no wake lake perfect for kayaking or fishing. Crystal clear water in beautiful shades of
blue and green. Some say the water reminds them of the Caribbean.

Our second stay at the Blue Lake Cottage
We had another amazing stay at the cottage on Blue Lake. Beautiful views of the lake right from the porch and a wonderful swim area right outside. The cottage is cozy and offers everything we need. It was a perfect retreat. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to unwind in a picturesque location!

Beautiful little place
My husband, in laws and I had a lovely stay. The cabin is located in a perfect spot and very cozy. The neighbors were all very friendly and even let us use their kayak to stroll around the lake. It was a nice and quiet short get away!

A Perfect Lakeside Retreat!
My recent stay at this charming lakeside cottage was lovely. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with stunning views of the serene lake and the cozy, inviting atmosphere of the cottage. The cottage itself is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a relaxing getaway. The view from the living and dining area offered lovely views of the lake, making it the perfect spot to unwind with a good book. The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive. It’s clear that a lot of care and thought has gone into making this cottage a special retreat. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with beautiful lake views and excellent amenities, I highly recommend this cottage. We can’t wait to return for another stay!

We loved this cottage. Very clean, updated, large kitchen for a small cabin, beautiful view. My only update to the listing would be that it sleeps 5 rather than 6.

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.

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.

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.
