Our large extended family reserved all of the cottages but one. There were very clean and comfortable. The grounds and the pool were clean and maintained nicely. Management (Steve) was very pleasant and accommodating. The layout of the cabins was perfect for us. The cabins were in a circle around the pool and volleyball court. We spent 2 days hanging... more

Steve is so nice and accommodating. LOved our Big Cabana 7 for the 7 of us. Boat access right across the street was great along with JAKES family restaurant/bar & grill to grab a bite if we didn't feel like cooking. We like trying different places and we give this 5 stars. more

After coming to Monticello for many, many years we thought we would try the new "Blue Door Cottages". Although they were clean and new, they were not very comfortable. There was no closet OR drawers of any type in the room with 2 beds. We stacked our clothes on a bedside (drawerless) side table. No place for anything in the... more

Just returned from a family vacation to Monticello, IN. A great family location. We have a 15, 12 and 1 year old and all enjoyed! The Blue Door Cottages are reasonably priced and updated cottages. The linens are quality and the beds are comfortable. It is a cozy environment in which it is easy to get to know other families... more

We rented Bungalow Cottage #8 for the Memorial Day Weekend. As one of the kids said, it was magical! The cottage was very clean, cute and comfortable. The beds were also amazingly comfortable! The cottages are new, with none of the musty- mildew smell of older cottages. We were able to enjoy docking the boat nearby, playing "bags" or cornhole,... more

My family of 4 (6 & 3 year old) shared the Big Cabana with my brother & sister in law and their 6 & 5 year olds. It was perfect! The cabana is split down the middle with the full kitchen and living space. We each had our own bathroom, king & queen size beds. Everything was immaculate and refreshing.... more

These DARLING, well equipped, clean cottages were perfect for our family of 4 for our trip to Indiana Beach Amusement Park. The staff at Blue Door cottages are the friendliest - great, great customer service. The cottages are super clean, the beds are very comfortable, the fire pits, pool are all great. The location is ideal and with their new... more

It's nearly not possible to accurately describe the fantastic experience we had at Blue Door Cottages. Our thanks to Jennifer, Heidi and company. We stayed in cottage 4, which like all the others is freshly remodeled and decorated. In a word: WOW! The cottage is the cake and the hosts hospitality and attitude the icing. Friendly, congenial and attentive. Everything... more
