    Perfect location in the beautiful quaint town of Mandeville. Our host was so attentive checking in to make sure there was anything we needed each day. The home was spacious, clean, and I loved the beauty of it. It was in walking distance to coffee shops, unique restaurants, and the lake. It was perfect for our needs and we would definitely stay there again.

    The cottage was a great location with the ability to walk to restaurants, ice cream parlors, candy shops and the lake. We had a great time and were able to take the kids swimming to the state park which was only 10 minutes away.

    We had a lovely girls weekend at the Blume Cottage. The cottage is in a great location, with coffee shops and other restaurants near by. It was a perfect spot for a much needed weekend with friends.

    We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage near Lake Pontchartrain, LA! The home was perfect for visiting family—cozy, well laid out, and incredibly charming. We especially loved the setup of the house, the peaceful backyard, and the amazing ice maker (a small touch that made a big difference!).The location couldn’t have been better—we were within walking distance to the lake, great restaurants, and coffee shops like Sweet Olive.Thank you, Kelly, for your quick responses and hospitality. We truly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again!

    Loved this rental - two king suites on different floors made for a very comfortable stay for our group of four. Very nice finishes and a beautiful neighborhood. We enjoyed walking to the bakery and Italian restuarant on the same street and a nice boutique on the corner. Walking distance to the lakefront and a few other eateries in the neighborhood. Listing is just as it looks in the photos. Host was excellent helping with recommendations and always available to answer questions. Hearty recommendation - we would definitely stay here again.

    The property exceeded our expectations! The house was very clean and welcoming. We will definitely keep this property in mind for future trips. The neighborhood is also super cute with a lot of shops and restaurants within walking distance including a trail on the lake. As a group of just girls we felt very safe at this property.

    We were so lucky to have found the Blume Cottage and for it to have been available!! It’s the most well-situated home, absolutely gorgeous, and an incredibly comfortable bed. We had friends and family come by and they were all in love with the house. We’ll be back soon to visit family and will definitely be staying here. Thanks for making our first visit to Mandeville such a comfortable one!
