We rented this house for my brother's wedding weekend and it was perfect! Great place to hang out with plenty of room for everyone. Two living areas with comfortable couches, dining room table and small breakfast nook. We especially enjoyed the firepit and game room. The house was perfectly appointed and the hosts were very attentive. Thank you Mitch & Katie!

Stay Here in Door County!!
This house was AMAZING! We used it for a retreat weekend for our family business, and we got so much work done at the huge kitchen table (with wonderful fireplace for a very, very cold January weekend) and then took breaks to play all the games in the heated garage! We had so much fun and made great family memories and connections. The house was perfectly clean and very well equipped. It was located really close to Sister Bay yet on a large private lot. We will be back!

Cottage & Bay is heavenly
Fantastic property, close to everything in Sister Bay - just a short bike ride away - yet secluded, private and quiet. The house was very spacious and comfortable. Very clean and had everything we needed. The outdoor space and fire pit were fantastic. The dogs had a safe, fenced in, area to roam. We’d come back in a heartbeat! Thanks Mitch & Katie!
