    Blume cottage is a delight, cozy, clean, well appointed and within walking distance of the lake, shops and restaurants. The owner Kelly is easy to work with and responds quickly to questions and concerns. I would rent again without hesitation.

    This was the perfect stay in Mandeville! Loved the gorgeous house (pictures don't do it justice), the location (walkable to all downtown shops and restaurants), and Kelly was always responsive and available with any questions. Highly recommend!

    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!

    We booked this location for a family weekend for our party of 6. Communication with the owner was superb! The curbside historical charm hides and fantastic renovation that is an amazing balance between both modern and period appropriate. The layout, design and furnishings were stunning! Main living spaces an open and comfortable while also offering petite nooks and crannies to explore, like the laundry area, coffee bar and downstairs bathroom. The bedding is exquisite-I’ve never slept as well in any other VRBO or hotel! Two doors down is a fabulous bakery and market that is the perfect place for brunch! It was too warm to sit outside in the patio area but with family right around the corner-I look forward to booking again in the fall where cooler weather will allow us to enjoy the outside areas as well. This is a gem and a secret I would love to keep all to myself!!
