We stayed here in 2023 when this property was under former ownership and really enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy this stay as well as last time. The floors of the house were filthy with old food crumbs, dead bugs, and even some mouse excrement! Counters and sinks also not clean. We spent over an hour late on our arrival night vacuuming and Clorox wiping surfaces. While the owner responded promptly, he was defensive and essentially kept stating that he pays a lot of money for his cleaning service, and it’s the same service used by the former owners. I asked for a refund for the cleaning fee and still have yet to hear his response as he was deliberating with his property manager. Living room and kitchen blinds are still broken from our 2023 stay. Two soap dispensers were essentially water as they were trying to fully empty their soap dispensers. Hair dryer from main bathroom was broken. There is potential in this home, but a better cleaning service is necessary and the home smells musty. We sadly won’t be returning here in the future!

Perfect Door County Location
We had a wonderful time exploring Door County with an excellent location to unlimited activities. The house has ample sleeping space for large groups. The firepit and large yard make outdoor activities fun for the entire group. Be aware that there is no A/C. If the temperature is hot with high humidity it can be hard to find relief, but other than that this is a perfect getaway spot.

The house is very large and has everything that was needed for a family stay. There was more than enough sleeping areas to accommodate our family of 6. It is difficult to find something of this size and the price was perfect also! We will be back again!

Family Trip to Door County
Location was ideal. Allowed us to do a day trip to Washington Island, spend time in Ephraim, Sister Bay, etc. Having 3 bedrooms and two baths was key. Place is spacious, decorated nicely and very clean. Owners were very responsive and great to deal with. Easy transaction! Made for a perfect trip.

Break From The Daily Grind
Right in the center of it all, this property offered a lovely, spacious, and. relaxing get-away from the stresses and pressures of daily living and a much needed escape. The hosts were amazing, prompt, thorough, and kind. We had all the amenities we needed to have a perfect little vacation. All the shops and restaurants were just a short drive away, and we were less than a minute from the water. We cannot wait to stay there again and make it a regular tradition!

Traveling to Door County, we like to go as far north as possible. This house was perfect. Quick and easy access to all of the “top of the thumb” activities we enjoy. The house itself was excellent, with large rooms and plenty of space, great furniture and comfortable beds.

Lovely place in the quiet part
We truly enjoyed our stay here. Very spacious, well furnished, comfy beds and great air flow with the garage that is converted to another family area/sunroom. No a/c was not a problem at all. Great yard for our frisbee loving dog to play in. Place is for sale now it seems and boy, do I wish we had the means to snatch it up! Check in/ check out was a breeze and the hosts were always quick to respond to messages.

Quiet Stay in Door County
Had a lovely time in this large home with more than enough room for the four of us. Nice sized bedrooms and good bathroom accommodations. The large kitchen and dining area was great for hanging out and playing games in the evenings as was the large living room area with large windows. Huge yard to walk the dog around and a great coffee shop just two doors down. It did get a bit humid and warm a few days and although there isn't AC, there are ceiling fans which definitely helped.

Spacious retreat
We had 6 adults and two toddlers. There was a lot of space for all of us. The office is kind of separated from the rest of the house and is like a second living room with a TV which was great for adults who wanted to watch something other than cartoons. The garage area was also another living space with a screen when the door opens. That was great for hanging out while we grilled out many times. We used out coolers to block the stairs in the garage so the toddlers would not fall down. We also brought our own flat top grill. Fire pit area was nice. Water pressure was amazing. We stayed middle of August and were comfortable with all of the fans provided and open windows at night.The house is clearly older but it was spacious inside and out which was perfect for us.
