It’s a beautiful property in a quiet neighborhood.The view of the bay is wonderful and we enjoyed several fabulous sunsets.Our hosts had provided everything that we may have needed. My husband loved being able to ride one of the bicycles around the neighborhood. We can definitely recommend staying at this property.

This property is perfect. We were 6 adults strong and had plenty of space for everyone. I have mobility issues and I found this home fit my needs: 1) only 2 steps to get in and 1 step to the back porch plus 2 mini-steps to the backyard ground. Easy peezy. 2) walk-in shower WITH a seat and bars for assistance; 3) no throw rugs to trip over! There is a slope in the middle of the backyard. Go slow. No biggie. We LOVED the pantry in the kitchen. How many times have you found little space allowed for your groceries? No issue here!Our hosts were outstanding. We had an issue with one of the bathrooms and Tim was on it immediately. Thanks, Tim!The neighborhood is beautiful and very safe. Be sure to get your groceries once you arrive. The store is a good 20 min away. And it's a beautiful drive to the store and throughout the county. The waterfront is gorgeous. Birds galore. Kyaks, a canoe, bikes and more. The kids will love it. Enjoy!

We really enjoyed this house, located on the end of a very quiet street. We loved being right next to the water. The house is nice and spacious. We did some cooking, the kitchen has enough cooking pots to get by but no extras. So if you plan t to do much cooking, there are no spices, oils, or anything left over from a previous stay.

Wonderful home on the water with beautiful views. The owners have clearly put a lot of love and care in this house as it has everything you could possible need for a week at the lake. My family loved our time there and will be back!

Should be called “fifteen minutes or less from everything”
The property was on a short list for our needs. Family size. Location. Cost. For the price, the convenience, accommodations, and location couldn’t be beat. We were extremely happy with the setup and would be happy to stay again if our travels take us to beautiful Door County. Thank you Melissa and Tim
