We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage in Door County. The home is tucked away in a quiet, peaceful location, yet it's only about a 10 to 15 minute walk to the beach, coffee shops, restaurants, and all the attractions in Sister Bay.The cottage was comfortable, clean, and exactly what we needed for our getaway. We especially appreciated having access to the grill, washer and dryer, and fire pit, which made our stay even more enjoyable.The hosts were kind, responsive, and communicated clearly throughout the process. Check in was simple, and gaining access to the home was very easy. We felt safe, secure, and welcomed from the moment we arrived.We would happily stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Door County.

First stay in Sister Bay

We loved the property! It was just a couple blocks off of the downtown strip and the water, but very quiet and had a real cottage feel with great updates. Really the best of both worlds because it was close to everything, but the little backyard was private and had a woodsy feel but close to lots of great places.
