Such a cute cozy cottage. It was stylish, clean and had a beautiful view of the bay. An afternoon in the hammock was the perfect way to spend a summer afternoon. Northern Door Co. attractions are close enough to enjoy and then you can head back south to enjoy the peace of the cottage. Would also highly recommend the Sturgeon Bay Farmers’ Market on Saturday. A great getaway all around!

What you see is what you get. Exactly as pictured. Living fireplace works and provided a nice ambience during a chilly evening. Saw a large ship come through the channel one morning.

Peaceful, lovely place in a great location

We chose this cottage as our base camp for Door County exploration and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the selection. The cottage was immaculately clean, well furnished, kitchen well stocked and in a beautiful setting to relax at the end of siteseeing filled days. Our host was very communicative but never intrusive. I highly recommend this property if you’re looking for low key scenic relaxation

Perfect spot for a relaxing get away!

Quiet neighborhood location close to Sturgeon Bay. Cottage had plenty of room with clean, attractive décor. The three large sliding doors gave a wide open feel with views of the bay along with access to stone patio and fire pit. Convenient location for day trips to Whitefish Bay Dunes, Cave Point and other peninsula attractions. Great spot to kayak!

Girls get-together

We had a wonderful time exploring Door County. This was the perfect base location for our daily excursions. We loved having our morning coffee on the deck overlooking the water and watching the boats go by. It was was very quiet and relaxing. The cottage is decorated beautifully and had all the necessities. The owner was very helpful and responsive.

Lovely location, great spot overall!

While this house is a little outside many of the more traditional towns that people talk about in regards to Door County, this was the perfect location for us! The check in process was easy, we received information from Eric a couple of days in advance. The house was clean and ready for us to settle in. We especially enjoyed the outside area, with the fire pit and the view. It was our first trip to Door County and we’d love to go back and stay here any time!

Amazing getaway

We chose this property for our babymoon, a very important occasion for us as it was our last hurrah as a family of two. The cottage was exactly as listed, very clean and comfortable. The view of the water was gorgeous, and I spent a lot of time relaxing in the hammock. Eric was communicative, and expectations were reasonable and straightforward. We had such a great experience, we will consider returning next summer as a family of three. Thank you Eric!
