Wow! Location and amenities!
Convenient to everything in Door County, yet in a quiet woodsy setting. The home was fully equipped with what we needed for a long weekend with our adult children, their spouses and their sweet doggos. Relaxing and fun! Would rent this again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic decor!
We weren’t sure if our boat was going to make it up the long wooded road and there was a car in the driveway when we got there so we were a little worried. It was the cleaning crew who had us come back half an hour later. When we got in there we were absolutely blown away!! The decor was top notch and the layout was awesome! All 3 of us loved this cozy home in the woods so much that we didn’t want to leave. This was our first air b&b stay and it was absolutely perfect!! There was so much thought put into everything in this home. We are so glad we chose this place for our anniversary getaway.

Great stay!
We had a great stay in Bailey’s Harbor. This property is very comfortable and very clean. Beautiful and private setting in a very wooded area but close to town and the lake. The house is completely updated with so many nice extras like a coffee bar, fireplace and cozy fire pit with plenty of chairs The decor is beautiful… comfortable beds and very nice linens and towels. I wish our stay was longer so we could have enjoyed the fireplace inside! No issues except we had trouble opening the lock box at first but then got the hang of it.

Beautiful home in a peaceful location
We loved our stay here! It was a quick drive to the places we wanted to visit, the neighborhood was very quiet, the home was beautifully uodated and all the amenities were thought of so we could relax and enjoy. The fire pit was a great place to visit and watching all the deer in the woods really made us feel like we were away from the hustle and bustle of town. We would love to stay here again next time we are in Door County.

Great stay
We are a family with adult children and their spouses. We loved staying at the Roost. It felt more like home than a rental. It had all the amenities we could have wanted. Beds were comfortable, it was clean, and it a good location. We will be back!

Cute with all the amenities
This house was so cute! It had a full modern bar cart, coffee and tea bar, s’mores tray with skewers, and a well-stocked kitchen. The fire pit was well-stocked with wood. The location was just far enough from the main drag that you couldn’t tell it was peak tourist season! We couldn’t find a big grocery store in Baileys Harbor, so did end up going to Sister Bay, which was only 10-15 minutes from the house. Overall we had a great time!

Nicely Furnished Comfortable House
The house was very clean and nicely furnished. The owners put some thought into the decor. This house is within walking distance to Bailey’s Harbor, and in a quiet location. It’s also close to Maxwelton Braes and the Orchards Golf courses. Very easy to get to Egg Harbor and Sister Bay from this location.
