Slow Down at Blue Pearl Cottage



Some weekends you don't need plans. You need quiet. At Blue Pearl, mornings start slowly: coffee by the big lake-view windows, a blanket on your lap, the water still and clear outside. The days are yours to fill, or not. And the evenings end the way you've been picturing all week: a crackling fire overlooking the lake, then a long soak in your private hot tub while the cold air settles around you.



Guests tell us it's the place to "truly disconnect, unplug, and relax." That's exactly what we built it for.



Made for Couples Who Need a Reset

• A quiet, secluded cottage on peaceful, no-motor Little Silver Lake, with no boat noise and no crowds

• Cozy for two and comfortable for a small family, sleeping up to 6

• Guests rate their stays 5 stars



Fall and Winter at the Lake

• Private hot tub in a lakeside pavilion, open all year: steam rising, stars above, snow on the trees

• Fire pit overlooking the water, with firewood provided

• Electric fireplace for instant warmth when you come in from the cold

• Big windows that frame the lake through every season, from fall color to fresh snow

• Hammock under the trees on mild fall days

• Plowed driveway all winter, so getting here is the easy part



Get Outside

• Walk the quiet gravel road that loops around the lake

• The Bannerman Trail between Wautoma and Wild Rose is close by for walking, biking and fall-color views

• Small-town shops and local dining in Wild Rose



Inside the Cottage

• Open living room with lake views, Smart TV, electric fireplace and comfortable seating for movie nights

• Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and a dual coffee maker (single-serve or full pot)

• Breakfast bar and kitchen table for slow mornings and home-cooked dinners



Sleeping Arrangements (Sleeps 6)

• Bedroom 1: Queen bed

• Bedroom 2: Two twin beds

• Pull-out sofa in the living room

• One full bathroom

• Please note: the bedrooms have privacy curtains instead of doors, part of the cottage's cozy, open layout. It works best for couples, families or close friends.



Bring Your Dog

• One dog welcome ($75 pet fee)

• Quiet roads and trails to explore together



Come Back in Summer

When the pier goes in (mid-April through September), the clear, spring-fed lake is yours for swimming and paddling. Two kayaks, a paddle board and a pedal boat are included in season.



Good to Know

• A signed rental agreement and a $300 security deposit hold are required after booking, handled securely through our property management system.

• We're surrounded by woods and nature, so you may occasionally see spiders, insects, ticks or wildlife common to the area. We clean and treat regularly, but we can't eliminate them completely, and refunds aren't given for sightings.



We can't wait to welcome you to Blue Pearl. Come slow down with us.
