Cozy Lake Stay
Overall, the owners were very helpful and kind. Beautiful location on the lake. Good location if you want to be close to the tip to get to the ferry for Washington Island. Only 15 minutes to Sister Bay. Only downside was that we weren’t told that the hot tub wouldn’t be able to be used and that was a large reason that we had rented this space. TV is in an awkward area where it’s hard to watch, we didn’t really need to watch tv anyways as we were doing outdoor activities. Sauna was wonderful and has a cool pool room in the garage. I can’t say enough nice things about the owners though, genuinely so helpful.

This is our second time staying here with our two dogs. We love the property so much and don’t want to stay anywhere else when we visit Door County. Best location a little bit away from the action, it’s quiet, peaceful, beautiful, and cozy. Already planning our next visit, can’t wait!

Anniversary Trip
My wife and I and two boys (dogs) stayed for a week and had a marvelous time. The yard was kept so nice, the patio with the firepit was great and the boys really enjoyed the water. It was very warm during our stay so we spent a lot of time in the water. We really enjoyed this wonderful house and it was everything we were looking for. We would definitely stay here again!

Waterside gem!
The northern side of Door County is beautiful and quiet. This property is right in the water with a hot tub, kayaks, fire pit, and other great amenities. Come sit in the yard and watch the sunset, swim and see a shipwreck right off the shore, walk to the ferry boat for Washington Island, bike the neighborhood or drive to nearby hiking areas. You can’t go wrong renting this place! The friendly owner lives nearby which is helpful if you have any issues or questions.

Great space in great location
Great views and really fun location with the lake right there and kayaks and paddleboards for exploring. The location is nice and quiet but still close to nice parks and restaurants. The ferry to Washington island is right around the corner. The bathroom is really nice and the place was very clean. The outdoor space while lovely did have a table covered in spider webs that was slightly unappealing while trying to eat dinner out there. Overall though would say this place was beautiful clean and fun and would 100% stay here again.

Quiet and relaxing oasis with the best view in Door County
This was our second stay and we stayed for 5 nights. We love it as it is dog friendly, clean and quaint. We enjoyed the fire pit, grill station, hammock and kayaking during sunsets. The views are incredible outside and from the inside. We stayed off season so it was quite chilly, but you can always warm up in the indoor sauna:). Great hiking opportunities in the nearby state parks (Newport and Death Door Bluff), The hosts are very friendly and responsive. Highly recommended!

Waterfront Dream
Beautiful, clean, well-kept property in a very quiet neighborhood. Can't beat the view! Kitchen is well stocked, hot tub and sauna are luxurious. We enjoyed relaxing in this comfortable home after a day hiking in the nearby parks. I have only two small suggestions. It would be really nice to have two reading lamps at the bedside, one for each side of the bed. Also, it would be good to use unscented laundry products for the bed linens, as some people are sensitive to perfumes. All in all, this is one of the very best vacation rentals that we have ever stayed in and we hope to come back again next year. We stayed five nights and it was just right for a great vacation exploring Door County. Thanks Gretel and Dan!
