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.

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.

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.
