Waterfront dream cottage was very clean and was beyond our expectations. The amenities of the hot tub on the lake with a beautiful sunset view, sauna and clear bottom kayaks were our favorite, which made it very relaxing and enjoyable.We would definitely recommend staying and would come back to enjoy in the future.

Best place to stay in Door County

This place is a true gem! The breathtaking view of Green Bay was only surpassed by the warmth, attentiveness, and genuine kindness of our hosts. Every detail of our stay was thoughtful and welcoming. We’ve found our forever getaway in Wisconsin—this will be our go-to spot from now on. We’re already looking forward to coming back this fall and next summer!
