This house is a home! It never disappoints to give you a cozy, fun, memorable stay… whatever you’re in Door County for! It is beautiful as much on the outside as it is on the inside. We will definitely continue renting this home to create wonderful Door County memories!
August was very accommodating to our reservation and worked well with us on extending our reservation an extra day. Awesome property, well worth the cost especially for larger families. Garage game room was a plus however we really appreciated the outside firepit.

Overall great experience and accommodations. Beds were very comfy, towels and bedding higher quality. Small bath needs some updating, new shower head would be an upgrade (this one hurts) and a slight mildew smell from plumbing detected but not a deal breaker. Outdoor yard was well equipped with fire pit, WOOD, Adirondack chairs, table/chairs for al fresco dining, rocking chairs for early morning coffee, and game room/garage space also well equipped. Kitchen nicely appointed with plenty of serving pieces, plates, etc. as well as toaster, blender, coffee pot and/or Keurig, etc. Larger coffee mugs would be nice. Other bath updated but again mildew smell from drains. Overall, we would highly recommend this property.

Nicely renovated house in the northern quiet area of Door County. The house fit us nicely (4 adults, 3 kids). The bunk bed room was great for the kids and they loved the game room in the garage. The outdoor patio and fire pit area has nice seating. The hosts are very welcoming and responsive. Would definitely stay again.
