Come enjoy this fabulous home!
Come enjoy this absolutely fabulous home! It is spacious, immaculate, meticulously restored and updated (especially that kitchen—wow!), beautifully decorated, a great location and all of the comforts of home. Kelly’s help and hospitality were equally off-the-charts fantastic! She went above and beyond to ensure that my husband and I + our 3 grandchildren had an extraordinary experience. We had high expectations, and the Historic Blume Cottage and Kelly far exceeded our expectations in every way. We were sad to leave, and look forward to coming back. Thank you so very much, Kelly!

We loved this property! We brought our young family to this home and it was perfect. Very clean, cozy and we had great communication with the host, Kelly! We will definitely be back if we stay in the area again.

Perfect!
Stayed with lady friends to attend 3 rivers festival in Covington. The house was exactly what we wanted… lovely interior, 3 bathrooms, clean, room to spread out, comfortable cozy beds, in the heart of Mandeville, quick drive to festival, we walked to dine, drink coffee, take in lake views, shop, etc. — perfect 👍! Would rent again in a heartbeat 💗

Wonderful spot
The home was perfect! Beautiful kitchen (perfect if you love to cook like myself) Rooms were very comfortable, clean and well stocked with towels. We could walk to the waterfront. My kids loved the backyard, plenty of room to play. Highly recommend this home!

Beautiful property nicely located near shops and restaurants. We have friends who moved here some years ago and love visiting Mandeville any chance we get. Lots of hidden gems and delicious food. Kelly was a great host and responded very quickly to any of our needs. Thank you Kelly!
