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.

Another great time here, the views are spectacular, and while we were here we had some snowy weather which is just icing on the cake. So manny things to do from the snow mobile tour with bar hopping to the dining options. It was so nice to visit in the off season, there is just so much beauty here!!!Thanks again Door County!!!

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.
