So cozy!
We loved the property! The hot tub was so nice to relax in when we got back from a long day. And the little stove on the cute back porch was so cozy. All instructions were provided and easy to follow. Would definitely stay again.

For anyone wanting to explore Washington Island and the Clearing this is the perfect launching point. As a plus great pub food at Mink River Basin and don’t miss Della Porta for fabulous Italian cuisine. Both within walking distance from the house. House was comfortable for two couples and could have handled two more. Would consider renting again.

AMAZING
The attention to detail was amazing! We loved every minute of staying here. Actually being able to use the hot tub and all the amenities. I had a family with 3 small kids/infant and we had everything we needed. I love the fact they pay attention to every detail of the property. They left good qualify coffee, appliances, beds, sheets, Tvs, audio, kids paltes, highchair, pack and play, etc. We even loved the decor. We wish we would have stayed here our entire trip to door county!

Wonderful hosts and beautiful home. It's the rare place that's even cleaner and nicer than described in the listing. We had a great few days staying in the home and had no issues at all. The hosts checked in to ensure everything was going smoothly, and the house is very well stocked with anything you might need. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay in Door County.

This vacation rental is beautiful and has all the amenities we needed for an awesome vacation...from all types of coffee preparation equipment (we used them all!!) to a wonderful outdoor patio area including grill, gas fire pit, and hot tub. The house is beautifully appointed with plenty of space for 4 adults.We appreciated access to streaming services for rainy day entertainment. The location is very private/quiet and perfectly situated for exploring northern Door County. Check in instructions were perfect and the owners communicated very well. We highly recommend this property!
