Loved the area. About an 8 min drive to Indiana beach. If you plan on staying there and cooking out bring own grilling utensils.

The property owner and staff were personable, attentive and responsive. Our cottage was perfect - plenty of room and the amenities were comfortable. We have stayed here in the past, and will continue to stay here on our visits to Monticello. Highly recommended.

My son and I love to go to Indiana Beach! We always stay at the Blue Door Cottages. They're affordable, clean, and it's so nice to have your own little place, versus a room at a hotel.

This is the 2nd year we have gone there in the Summer. I am so happy that we found this place. It is tucked away in a little private corner without all of the traffic and noise. It is very cute and furnished with all you need. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Nice cottage

Nice, cute cottage for an overnight stay. Would be best suited for a summer time family lake vacation. Had minor issue with TV connection; was promptly addressed by the manager. Liked being able to park car right next to the cottage.

Clean, quiet, staff was great. Slightly cramped-the bed was almost up against the wall so we had to crawl out of the end of the bed to use the bathroom.

We enjoyed the place and it was very well kept. All in working conditions and clean. Communication was a bit challenging as there is no receptionist around the clock. Most information is clear and easy to follow. The one difference we found here, compared to other hotels, is that you are required to leave the entire property by 11am. Besides this, we enjoyed the stay and it is close to Indiana Beach with a nice view to the river across the street.

Cute cottage. Very clean. Friendly staff, and very helpful too! Communication regarding our stay was excellent. King size bed a bit odd to get into because of it being in a nook but very comfortable. Nice view of the lake across the street. Perfect for the length of our stay.

This is a nice quiet location across from the lake. Just a 5 minute drive to IN Beach. They have everything you need for a laid back relaxing stay. We actually stayed here 10 years ago and came back because we really liked it. Nothing has changed except it’s a bit older, which is to be expected. The owners thought of everything, including the use of grills scattered around and even fire pits.

Property was clean. Served the purpose of a clean place to stay. Would not recommend staying in the winter, as the floors were cold. Hot water was limited by a very small water heater. Nothing fancy about this place, but again, it did serve it's purpose.

Great Stay!!!

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay in studio 2. The place was well appointed for a couple, and very clean. Seemed like it had been completely repainted recently. 5 out of the 8 units had new roofs, so they are definitely working and spending to keep the place nice. The units are in a circle with a small pool in the middle. The pool was nice to use with supplied floaties and stuff. Great location to IB, and a neat general store a 1/4 mile up the road. We will definitely stay here again. Photos are of the lake which is right across the road.

Room could have been a bit cleaner. Dirty fans and walls were the biggest faults. We went on a hot day but the 1 window air unit was not even close to being enough. 2 bedroom units, 1 bedroom and studios all have the same... 1 window unit.

Ok

Good place, the only negative thing was the tv didn’t work. So we couldn’t watch tv the 1st night we were there, but they gave us a new one the 2nd night.
