This home is warm, charming, and well-equipped—truly an excellent choice! Every room, both inside and outside, was VERY clean and stocked with everything you might need, including firewood. There are plenty of chairs around the firepit and a picnic table on the deck. You can enjoy a beautiful view of the lake from the firepit. The front porch features two very comfortable chairs, perfect for relaxing while still maintaining privacy.The basement serves as a game room with ample seating, making it a great entertainment space. As a woman in her 60s, I felt that the home was safe both inside and out. From the perspective of a mother and grandmother, it is also comfortable, secure, and offers plenty entertainment inside and out.It is a 2 minute walk to the beach and the downtown area.The communication with the owner was excellent. We will be returning to this lovely home away from home.Dar BaezArlington Heights, Il

Easy to find and a great location, within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Everything was clean and neat, nicely furnished and easy instructions for things like the AC and WiFi. Big refrigerator. Would have liked a dishwasher, but the host kindly provided ample paper plates, etc, in case we wanted to use those. For those of us of a certain age (ahem!), a railing on the top three steps would have been helpful. Loved how nicely the yard was set up - so pretty! Overall, we were SO glad we stayed here!

Walter and his house were awesome. I almost don’t want to share this gem

First, Walter was awesome. I’d been to sister bay many times but this was the first time for my wife and early teenage kids. We had a blast and it was all due to Walter. He’s done such a great job and we could not be more grateful for his hospitality. Thank you so much. We will be back.

We had a great time. Great location. The house is clean and well taken care of. Walter is communicative and welcoming. It snowed, and we were able to go out on a guided hike at the Ridges Sanctuary. Enjoyed the peacefulness of Sister Bay at this time of year. We would love to go back.
