The house was very clean and cute. Easy to manage the heat. Very peaceful and quiet. Great location. We had a great time exploring the cute towns, Washington Island, and watching the stars at Newport Park.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage with our two kids! The location couldn’t be better — just a short walk to downtown Sister Bay for breakfast, shopping, and the beach. The cottage was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed (and even things we didn’t realize we’d want!) — from beach towels to marshmallow sticks for evening s’mores. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and the host’s communication was excellent. This was the perfect spot for an October weekend, and we’re already planning to return!

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin! It was very cute and very clean. It is very updated inside with a modern full kitchen. The street is very quiet and it was a short walk to downtown for restaurants, shopping and sunset viewing. The property owner was very quick to respond to any questions that I had. We will definitely consider staying here again on future visits.

This cottage is absolutely amazing. Well kept up and modern and very close (but out of the way) of town. I often walked to get to the Bay Area and town. I would recommend this cottage to anyone.

First stay in Sister Bay

We loved the property! It was just a couple blocks off of the downtown strip and the water, but very quiet and had a real cottage feel with great updates. Really the best of both worlds because it was close to everything, but the little backyard was private and had a woodsy feel but close to lots of great places.

Hits the spot

For me this stay it was perfect location - choice of spots to watch the game, eat and meet friends for cherry drop (look it up), all 5 minutes walking at most. The cottage was cleaned professionally, well outfitted and kept up.

Comfy, quiet and good location in Sister Bay

We enjoyed our stay in Sister Bay at this small home. I think we took advantage of everything it had to offer. We enjoyed the bikes from the shed in back, the grill, the outdoor tables and chairs, and the fire pit with plentiful wood. We also cooked a few simple meals there and of course coffee in the mornings. Easy walk or bike ride to Sister Bay offerings like restaurants, boats or beach. Updates in the kitchen were apparent and while we cooked a few meals, this is not a gourmet kitchen. Just plan for simple stuff. Laundry came in handy too. Owner Mathew was always responsive.

Perfect for our family!

We had a wonderful stay at Matthew's place. The location is perfect, just a hop skip jump from the lake and downtown sister bay. We really enjoyed being close enough to everything but just off the main drag so we could have privacy and quiet when needed. Everything was as described! We were comfortable with the amenities and new AC system. We easily had a bonfire one evening as well! We will most definitely consider using Matthew's place for our next Door County trip.
