Fall Fest
Loved this house secluded in the woods just north of Sister Bay! Pictures don’t show how beautiful the view is out the wall of windows, especially in fall! Also loved the wood burning fireplace inside along with the fire pit outside. Everything is sparkling clean and new in the house.

Accommodation listing is not accurate
My communication with the host led me to believe that the driveway would allow our boat. This was important because our stay included daily fishing at Rowleyes bay. We pulled our 16’ Ranger bass boat in but then we did not have room to turn it around. We ended up backing the boat out but we had no place to put it. We ended up backing it in on four wheel drive due to the incline and only fishing one out of the three days. Other listed items were erroneous. No gas grill only a very dirty unusable charcoal grill. Firewood provided was unsplit tree trunks. The firepit was full of ash to the very top. Items listed such as toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, kleenex, washer pods were in short supply or did not exist. Coffee maker had old coffee in it. It was a carafe style that spills when poured. The patio door did not lock, the host offered us $50 for these inconvenienced issues but I never received it. The house is located off a dusty gravel road.
Other than the above issues, the house is nice inside, nice TV and living room furniture, good bedding, nice clean washrooms and a well equipped kitchen.

Gramma and family 2 night visit!
We definitely enjoyed our stay! The property accommodated our group of a senior, parents and grandchildren.
Although not in walking distance to Door Ciunty towns or beeches it is located in a private wooded area conveniently located for driving to all of the northern and central Door County ‘avtivities and beeches.

Family vacation 2024
Our family of seven enjoyed a peaceful four day stay at this lovely updated cottage in the woods. The host was very accommodating and available for any questions we had. The location is nestled in the woods and off the main road yet close to all the wonderful things to do in Sister Bay, Ellison Bay, and Gills Rock. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.
