We love this spot and will come back, either in the Fall to sit around the fire on the patio or next year for Blueberry season. The stars at night were lovely. You're close to Douglas/Saugatuck and can enjoy all they have to offer but return 'home' for quiet evenings and mornings (with a lovely rooster next door). The goodies were much appreciated! On the next visit, we want to tour the artist studio :)
This cottage was a great find. The location is perfect, its located between South Hacen and Saugatuck just of the Blue Star Hwy. It's decorated with beautiful artwork and comfortable furniture. Armando is the perfect host and made us feel welcome. His art studio is filled with interesting artwork. The landscaping on the property is stunning. We loved staying at Blue Vieira Cottage, and we are looking forward to going back.
I cannot say enough about how wonderful this property is and how kind, warm and welcoming Armando is! We have stayed here twice now for a girlsâ trip and canât wait to return next year. It has become our favorite tradition. Thank you, Armando! We loved talking with you and we loved our time at the cottage!
This quaint cottage nestled on the beautifully landscaped grounds of Blue Vieira Estate was perfectly located to South Haven and other southwestern cities in Michigan. The tasteful lake decor including several of the hostâs paintings, fresh cut hydrangeas in every room, retro colored appliances, comfortable bed and nice shower was so welcoming. Armando, the host, spoiled us with a basket of treats, an assortment of cold drinks, coffee/tea bar and homemade blueberry scones.
Thank you Armando for opening your cottage to us. We enjoyed viewing your art studio and your work. When we get back to Michigan we hope to rent from you again!
I loved my short stay here! Wish it had been longer. Armando was a delightful host. Cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. The fresh flowers were a special touch. Just perfect!
My husband and I stayed at Blue Vieira Cottage for our wedding anniversary weekend getaway. We were planning a relaxing weekend near the lake and this cottage ended up being the most perfect spot for that. From our initial booking, communication with the host, Armando, was excellent. He goes above and beyond to make sure that his guests are comfortable and taken care of. He gave us many recommendations for restaurants, places to visit, etc in the area and they all turned out to be fantastic recommendations. At his advice, we dined at Salt of the Earth and Pennyroyal Cafe; both had excellent, fresh food!
The cottage had all amenities needed to be comfortable.
The cherry on top was the serene location with blueberry picking just steps out the door.
We very much enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to plan a trip to come back!
Thanks so much for your attention to detail and kindness, Armando!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Armandoâs Blue Viera Cottage! Cozy, clean, beautifully decorated, well equipped kitchen, super comfy bed and shower, easy access to Saugatuck and Douglas and beautiful surroundings. Thoroughly egggffnjoyed our conversations with Armando and discussing his inspirational lifestyle and art. Canât say enough positive things about this sweet little cottage, the property owner and the surrounding landscapes. Come experience it yourself!
The cottage is well designed with a coastal theme and great artwork. The space is well utilized and has a cozy feel. Itâs close to nearby towns and Lake Michigan.
The property is undoubtedly serene and marvelous - yet Armando steals the show with his warm hospitality, engaging conversations and unique attention to detail.
The experience from the moment you pull in to this quaint and charming location exceeded our expectations. The home was very artistically decorated, fine arts, fresh cookies, fresh flowers in every room, the finite details from rolled towels to mints on the pillows. Armando was well known in town by local shop owners, we felt like we were staying with a celebrity artist!
The cottage was absolutely charming, clean, beautifully decorated, in good condition and functional. The host was warm and welcoming and eager to make our stay pleasurable. We enjoyed the fact that the cottage sits just outside Fennville, so it was quiet but within easy distance of all the little towns in the area such as Saugatuk and Douglas and all the lovely beaches and trails. A really great retreat! Thanks so much Armando!
We had an amazing time at the cottage. It was cute and cozy and so nice to come âhomeâ to every evening. Armando was such a gracious and friendly host. We appreciate that he took the time to give us a tour of his art studio and let us help him create a âmasterpiece.â đ We look forward to another stay soon!
Our stay at the Blue Vieira Cottage was just what we needed. We were greeted by Armando, who created an amazing experience from start to finish. Every small detail thought out and a host with an amazing heart. We took in every suggestion and enjoyed every single bit of the entire experience. Spending time in the art studio with Armando was a beautiful way to wrap up our trip. Thank you for a much needed getaway to renew and refresh!
Loved every minute of our stay at Blue Vieira Cottage! Armando is an incredible host and his warm hospitality, creativity, and attentiveness to ensure every moment of our stay was memorable was greatly appreciated. From beverages and tasty snacks at our arrival, to the tour of his studio and blueberry farm, it was a truly magical experience. Fennville and Saugatuck was also a nice surprise- complete with great restaurants and nice galleries. Wish we had stayed longer, but now we have a reason to return and we canât wait.
This place is amazing. So beautiful and relaxing. We just loved how immaculate the property is. Armando has really thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable. The patio was our favorite. Beautiful trees, comfy chairs, firepit. My husband and I sat out every night and talked for hours while stargazing. We even had a sweet little kitten come get pets from us one night. Absolutely delightful! We can't wait to go back!
Delightful and peaceful cottage ! Loved everything about the Blue Viera. Cozy and comfortable, great snacks and drinks. Armando was very helpful. Close to Saugatuck / Douglas but yet a world away. We will be back!
Blue Vieira Cottage is charming! Spotless, beautifully decorated, full of thoughtful details and host Armando Pedroso's wonderful art work. Quiet, lovely setting, and near Saugatuck=Douglas-Fennville attractions. Armando is the perfect host.
We loved every moment of our stay, and will return soon and often.
This is the ideal spot! Located within minutes of everyplace, and at the end of the day you come home to here! 5 star all the way! Host is wonderful. I will be back.
