A stay at the cottage is about family and traditions and shared experiences; Fourth of July celebrations with fireworks and sparklers, sand castles and sun burn, lightning bugs and hide and go seek. It is my intent that the guests who stay at the cottage will create their own special memories and family tradition and look fondly back or look forward to their vacation at 'True Blue'.

    Just returned home from a girls trip to this beautiful cottage. We loved it! The host was very quick on answering any questions I had leading up to the visit. The house was exactly as described and even cuter in person than in the pictures. We were so very grateful there was a basement as we had a tornado warning when we were there and had to take cover. The house was very stocked with toiletries, towels in both kitchen and the bathrooms, pillows and blankets in the bedrooms and a lot of extras in the kitchen. The landscaping was so pretty, there were plenty of things stocked in the garage for our beach day. We loved how short the walk to the beach was-keep in mind the beach at the end of the road is a VERY small public beach area but you can walk all along the shoreline. This house is also very close to great beaches, cute little towns, and lots of antique stores and bakeries. The only small thing that might be good is an option of blinds or curtains in the living area and back bedroom. Great cottage - would absolutely recommend this and stay there again!

    Wonderful vacation rental. By far the best equipped rental we’ve stayed at…the bathrooms had plenty of towels and toilet paper, as well as full size shampoo/conditioner/body wash and a package of necessities in case you forgot something. The kitchen was just as well stocked, however, I would add a set of steak knives. Home was as described, very clean and comfortable. Our family of 6 (3 adults; 3 teenagers) had plenty of space. Check in/check out was easy. Rickie responds quickly and is very helpful. Location is good, a lot to do within a 10-15 mile radius. We had a few rainy days but visited the shops in New Buffalo and St Joseph as well as the Lighthouse Outlet Mall in Michigan City, IN. Barney’s grocery store in New Buffalo is close and convenient but costs a little more. You could go to Walmart in Michigan City, IN (20 mins) or Niles, MI (35 mins) if you’re looking for better prices. Pier St beach was a nice walk but we didn’t utilize the beach (not much space and hard to access if the water was high). Instead we traveled 2 miles north to Cherry beach (parking fees $15); Harbert Beach (no parking fees) and 7 miles to Warren Dunes State park (entrance fee $11). Overall we really enjoyed the cottage and special touches from Rickie. Highly recommend this property and owner. Thank you Rickie for sharing your home with us!!

    The house was very comfortable and well stocked. The house is very well thought out. A few more mirrors in rooms would be helpful. Very efficient house. Highly recommend.
