This Yellow cottage overlooking the Blue Lake is absolutely lovely. It is comfortable, adequately stocked with towels, sheets, a well organized kitchen and wonderful views of the lake while inside the cottage. There was good water pressure and plenty hot water. The stacked washer/dryer was so convenient for small loads. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Yellow cottage, a peaceful place for sure! I definitely hope to return.

Mold So when walked in about 730 pm we walk into the ceiling leaking and just leaking but like a down pour contacted host she said she would send to someone out the next morning no one came and that was a previous leak and the smell of mildew was just awful we kept trying to figure out why though maybe it was her plant she had placed at the front by the third day we figured it out I was going to wash my clothes because the stunk like mold and I seen this huge black mold spot above the washer oh and by the second night the the TV didn't work and she was like oh you are just having a tough stay and after that no response now what a horrible 50th get away

As always, a wonderful stay at Tina's cottage on Blue Lake. This is our third stay and I cannot say enough great things about the cottage, location, host and Blue Lake. All around, 5 stars!

Love this charming cottage! Everything was perfect! The house was clean and comfortable, had everything needed and stayed so nice and cool even on the 95 degrees day! the view from the window and front porch was exactly what my mother was hoping for after a day of shopping and touring or spending the day on the lake. Fabulous hosts and a wonderful home!

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!
