We had a wonderful stay at the Blue Cat House! Everything was just as pictured, comfortable beds, beautifully curated decor, and we loved the porch swing bed and fire pit! The owners were very attentive and quick to respond to any concerns or questions we had. Would love to stay here again in the future and highly recommend for families/friends traveling to Mammoth Cave National Park, as it’s less than 40 min away and still nearby some great stops like Paradise Point, Rusty’s Lakeside Pub & Habegger’s Amish Store. We had a blast and enjoyed this home so much! They have thought of everything! Thank you Ciera for a great stay.

We had a wonderful stay at The Blue Cat. The house was spotless and had everything we needed—from kitchen essentials to cozy linens. The screened porch quickly became our favorite spot, offering stunning views of the lake and unforgettable sunsets each evening. It was the perfect place to unwind and reconnect. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and peaceful getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Blue Cat Properties

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

The Blue Cat is conveniently located near Bailey’s Point on one of the best views of the lake that is beautiful year round. The house is also within a short driving distance to the State Park, Peninsula, and Port Oliver Docks and Marinas making it an exceptionally convenient place to stay on the lake.

What makes this property unique

The Blue Cat Lakehouse was purposefully designed to provide several unique things for its guests. First, each bedroom has its own view of the lake as well as the main living room areas. Second, the main floor of the house is designed to be accessible to people with mobility difficulties; meaning there are no stairs to enter the property, wide doorways, handles in the master bathroom, and minor bumps to enter the home, get onto the deck, or in the shower. Finally, we wanted to provide some luxury for guests by designing a luxe master bathroom with a rainfall shower head, a spectacular view with large floor to ceiling sliding doors, a cool spot to hang out on the patio with a bed swing, and ultra soft beds.
