Extended family getaway to Door County

Nice spacious house. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as gathering places. We enjoyed the patio and firepit. Great location to get to many attractions in Door County yet private and secluded. Plenty of parking space. Nice start up packages of toiletries, kitchen items, etc were provided.It was in the listing, but while there are many fans, no A/C. The first night, it was pretty hot. After that, luckily it cooled down outside, so was better inside as well with windows open and fans on. If at all there was a way to get central air or A/C units in the bedroom, that would be great! Saw a few more pests/insects on the first floor than would have expected but understand that this can be difficult to avoid.Check in/entry was smooth. Communication was speedy and helpful. Overall, highly recommend!

Awesome family getaway!

We loved staying here! Location is ideal - secluded and quiet, and yet it was 10-15 minutes from all the day trips and activities. Great setup for multiple families. Kids loved the play room. Used the campfire twice, only feedback is that the plastic chairs around it break easily. Kitchen is well stocked, better than listed - as is the laundry, where we found beach towels. No AC was ok for the mild weather we had (75) and the fans in the rooms worked well.

Exceeded Our Expectations!

There were 10 in our group and there was ample room for all of us. The game room was a big hit with the children (and the adults). The patio, fire pit and yard were all well maintained with plenty of room. All of the appliances are new as well as the furniture. Our group had a great time staying at B.A.R.C. House and will do so again when the time comes.

A Beautiful Door County Cabin in the woods

Overall, we loved this property. It was very close to a lot of our favorite attractions, like Peninsula Golf, AC Tap, and Al Johnson. The house was large and very accommodating to the number of guests we had. All the bedrooms were laid out nicely and had great quality sheets and bedding. Our only issue was the lack of air conditioning on a surprisingly hot weekend in late August. We were aware of this though so that is only a point to say that having some air conditioning would have made this perfect.

This is a beautiful home from home. We had a wonderful time. Thank you so much. We hope to come back. Just a few notes would be: the bed next to the playroom was uncomfortable, one bathroom fan was not working, one outdoor chair by the fire pit was broken, and the house could use a bug spray for spiders and ants.

Great convenient location and nice property!

This was our first trip to Door County and this house was in a great central location! The house is very spacious and we had plenty of space for us 4 couples to spread out. The weather wasn't the best so we didn't use the patio or fire pit but wished we could have! Door County has great hiking, scenery, and awesome restaurants! We're already planning to return and would love to stay at this house again!

Great for family reunion

Our family gathered in Door County for a family reunion in August 2022 and 10 us us stayed at the BARC House. The bedrooms were as described and offered ample room for four couples and a few extras. The kitchen was well supplied with basics and the outdoor fire pit was a favorite. The local roads had little traffic and the area was peaceful and quiet even though we were just minutes from Ephraim and all it offers. We have a few suggestions for improvements: 1) The beautiful stainless steel refrigerator didn't freeze items in the freezer and didn't keep refrigerated items cold when it was stocked up with food. Either it isn't working well or we needed some special instructions on how to make it function better. 2) Photos showed an outdoor picnic table area and there was none - we missed that. It would be nice to have more capacity for outdoor dining. 3) There was a whole page of special instructions and restrictions that was not sent until the day we checked in. Some of those restrictions caused problems for our group - including family members who were camping with a small teardrop trailer in local campgrounds prior to the reunion and discovered the trailer could not even park at the house. It would be better to share ALL restrictions online prior to booking.
