This place also includes dishes (including silverware) and cookware to make breakfast or dinner for yourself during your stay.
Walk right past the kitchen, there sits a spacious dining table by windows looking out over trees - perfect for eating while taking in nature! Past the dining area is our bright bedroom space configured with a large King bed. On the other side of this space, there you'll find the living area with a "full" size sleeper sofa & flat screen TV tucked away in one corner; what comes next?

Please note that our vacation rental is located above a live bakery, which may result in some delicious aromas wafting into the space. While we hope that you enjoy the scent of fresh-baked goods, we also understand that it may not be for everyone. Therefore, we have taken measures to minimize any potential disruptions to your stay. We have provided an air purifier to help with any lingering bakery smells, as well as a white noise machine to mitigate any early morning noise. We hope that these amenities will ensure that you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay with us.

A great location and comfortable quarters. My husband, dog Birdie, and I all had a relaxing evening and great nights’ sleep. I can’t overemphasize how appreciative we are to find such a nice place that will accept a dog. The apartment was clean, well outfitted, and stylish. Arriving after dark was a challenge for us as the stairs to the apartment are in the back of the building. A defined level path and improved lighting would go a long way in improving our experience. In the meantime, we recommend bringing a good flashlight.

The apartment was very clean and well equipped. We felt very secure and it was very quiet as well. The bed was very comfortable too! The furniture is in great condition. Unfortunately the bakery was closed during our stay, but judging by the number of cars that stopped by to check on it it must be very popular. We certainly will keep this place in mind for future visits!

We have been traveling to Door County for 36 years and usually stay in Egg Harbor or Fish Creek, but decided to try somewhere different and it worked out well.This place is clean and has a comfortable bed! We always appreciate that when traveling.We brought our small dog and he did well on our walks around the property and down roads nearby.The bakery below was visited daily by us and the food delicious.My husband ate the same bagel everyday and I bought a large bag of granola there that was enjoyed daily and brought home to enjoy.The owner was responsive to questions when asked.This place is also in close driving range to so many beautiful parks (we are hikers and bikers), restaurants, and seasonal attractions.We are thankful for our stay here.

Wonderful place to stay when visiting Door County
The listing was exactly as listed. If we wanted we had everything needed to cook our meals in the small but fully furnished kitchen, plus a washer and dryer if needed. It was spacious, updated and had the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on. It is only minutes away from town . On the ground level is a bakery that has the most amazing bagels I have ever had, including those in NYC. The host was very prompt in responding to any questions we had. Definitely will stay here next time we return to Door County. Can't go wrong with this rental.

Great place!
We stayed just one night but the location was very close to Sister Bay which we love. Very clean and communication with the host was fast and easy. It is above a bakery and you can smell the aromas in the early morning but it was not bad. It smelled quite good and we did decide to wait to leave until the bakery opened so we could give it a try. Wow - so delicious!! Highly recommend. Also you can’t go to Door County without trying Cultured. Yum!

Cute, Cozy, Convenient!
What a wonderful gem! The location is wonderful - quick drive to Sister Bay, quick drive to Ephraim.
You truly have everything you need in this studio. Cute little kitchen, nice little living room space, quaint little dining room area, comfortable king size bed (the pillows were like marshmallows - so cozy!), and a generous sized bathroom/shower. This is a good sized studio - our family of four + our pup had plenty of space to stretch our legs. It's really a great spot! They put a lot of thought into creating this space - it's nicely furnished, well-kept, and clean.
The host, Tom, is wonderful and very responsive! He truly wants you to be comfortable and enjoy your stay.
