Inside, you'll find an inviting open-concept space that connects the kitchen, dining area, and living room. The vintage furniture from the 1950s adds a nostalgic touch, while large windows frame stunning views of the lake—especially breathtaking at sunset.

Unwind on the spacious porch, complete with comfortable seating, ideal for relaxing after a day on the water or enjoying the peaceful evening sounds of nature. Next to the cottage, a beautifully maintained garden invites guests to stroll, play, or simply sit and take in the tranquil surroundings.

Towering pines and graceful birch trees envelop the cottage, creating a private sanctuary where blue jays and hummingbirds often visit, particularly in July and August.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Blue's Cottage! From the moment we arrived, everything was exactly what we hoped for. The cottage was beautiful, cozy, clean, and had such a welcoming atmosphere. It was the perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy some quality time together. The location was fantastic, and the cottage had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We made some great memories here and couldn't have asked for a better stay. We would definitely recommend Blues Cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable getaway! Thank you for having us!

I would absolutely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a week of calmness and peace. From the moment we arrived, we were met with the quietness and serenity of the area. The cottage owners are very gracious and welcoming and care about making sure the tenants enjoy there time. They are always a phone call away (or text) should anything happen during your stay.
The cottage has everything you need while you stay from spacious rooms to open kitchen area to enjoy meals together.Washer and dryer are also helpful.
Getting up early every morning to enjoy a morning coffee on the veranda and listening to the loons on the lake while the lakes wakes up to a new day is priceless. Same every evening while the sunsets are gorgeous and the loons are talking to each other, then ending each day by the campfire that is so welcoming with my family making smores and enjoying the end of another awesome day. I could write so much more but you would have to see it to enjoy it.
My family and myself hope to see them again next year.

We had so much fun at Blue's cottage with our family. We spent hours at the lake swimming, fishing and using the water equipment provided by the gracious hosts. In the evenings we enjoyed our family time by the bonfire or watching the sunset on the spacious deck overlooking the lake.

The cottage was well organized and very clean. Everything I needed was there. The hosts were kind and helpful and answered all our questions.

I would definitely recommend this beautiful cottage and look forward to returning next year!

We'll definitely be looking forward to seeing you all again!

Thank you so much for choosing our cottage and for being such wonderful guests. We truly appreciate it.

We spent the Labour Day long weekend at Blue's cottage and had such a great time with the family and kids. The place has so much charm, with a cozy vibe inside and a beautiful outdoor space to hang out. Super clean and stocked with everything you'd need to BBQ or cook up a family meal.

The lake was amazing—perfect for all kinds of fun. We tried the pedal boat, kayak, and canoe, and the kids absolutely loved it. The bunk beds were a fun adventure for them too, even if they were a little squeaky and the mattresses not the comfiest (but hey, it's a cottage, not the Hilton!).

All in all, we had an awesome weekend and would definitely recommend it.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a great time at the cottage over the Labour Day weekend. It's always wonderful to know that guests are able to enjoy both the cozy indoor space and the beautiful outdoor setting. Sounds like you made the most of the lake with all the water activities—that's what it's all about! We're also glad the kids had fun with the bunk beds (even if they added a bit of squeaky charm to the experience ).Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback—especially about the mattresses—we're always looking for ways to improve while still keeping that authentic cottage feel. You're welcome back anytime!

Séjour mémorable ! L'eau du lac est clair parfaite pour la baignade et la vue du balcon est magnifique. Joy est soucieuse du bien être des locataires et répond rapidement. Toute la famille a apprécié !
