What a thoughtful and well curated space! We found ourselves finding ways to cozy up in the cabin instead of going out. It was very capable to cook meals in and perfect for reading or board games. The fireplace worked fantastic. The property was a lovely little stroll to the waterfront, was surrounded by serene woods and open to solid star gazing.

Our stay was wonderful! The home was very accommodating and roomy with our 2 dogs. It was very cozy with the fireplace which we used day and night. We were able to get wood for the fireplace easily. The location was centrally located between Sturgeon Bay and Egg Harbor. The property had everything needed for cooking in the kitchen with being able to walk the dogs out on the property and over to the bay.

Great place to stay! The cabin is very comfortable and setup well as a rental property with items labeled and instructions. The only improvement we noted was that the instructions posted in the cabin for dogs and garbage removal at check out were slightly different than the emailed instructions. The email said dogs must be in a crate if left alone, the posted instructions inside the cabin said it is recommended. We took our dogs when we left, so it wasn't an issue. The email said to remove the trash at check out, but the instructions on the fridge said the cleaners would take it out. We took it out. All in all, this is a great place to stay in door county.

Wonderful Door County Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Three Little Birds. The cottage was absolutely beautiful. The amenities were fantastic even for our dog. We loved how tastefully decorated the cottage was, and how they left instructions/stickers on how to use everything. We felt at home, and we cannot wait to return to this cottage. Thank you!

Door County Family Vacation

We had a family gathering with adult children, my 90 year old dad, plus two dogs, and the house was perfect. The kitchen is well stocked, and we loved the various porches and outdoor spaces for relaxing. Beautiful location in the woods, a short walk to the water, great for running, and a short drive to all the nearby towns. The fire pit in the back was awesome. I highly recommend this property!

Amazing!!!!

Three Little Birds was a perfect place for our family to vacation in Door County! Unfortunately our Jamaican vacation was canceled due to hurricane Beryl. We were able to quickly grab this amazing property and feel so lucky it was somehow available last minute. The setting was beautiful!!! The home was immaculate and had anything and everything you could possibly need on your vacation! The owners truly want you to have the best vacation and for you to be comfortable in their home. Seriously couldn’t have asked for a better spot!!!! Highly recommend!

Great stay!

Three Birds is a lovely house, very comfortable for our group of two adults and five teens. The house is well appointed with everything we needed and the space was really great for board games, movies and porch time plus good proximity to all Door County has to offer. Easy communication with the management team, too. Five stars all around!

We loved our stay at Three Little Birds! We had to cancel in January due to a snowstorm and they were very accommodating finding us another weekend. The place was very well maintained and they provided tons of wood for us to use per our request! The coffee mugs left for us to keep was such a nice touch! Had a great time. Would 10//10 recommend!
