Thank you Mouna. We appreciate you sharing your positive experience and the nice review! Great talking with you during your stay. Would love to have you as guest again. Best Regards - Andre' & Ann
This was the most comfortable cottage that I've ever stayed in. Andre was a great host! The views of the sunset were breathtaking. I'd stay here again. In my opinion one of the best places in Door County, as it is centrally located. If I could give it 10 stars I would.

Thank you, Devonna - we appreciate your kind review! We're grateful to have such wonderful guests like you and Darlene. Hope to see you again sometime in the future. Best Regards - Andre' & Ann
This property was the perfect place for a weekend with the little grandkids. The retro cabin was well equipped, cozy and clean. Andre was the perfect host, offering things to make our stay perfect (building a fire, s'mores, providing charcoal and starter...). The sunsets are incredible here and the playset was just right for the kids. There is a volleyball net and other outdoor games to use on the large lawn area. Our cabin had some beautiful pen drawings of birds made by Andre's father. Great touch. Highly recommend this place!

Thank you, Rebecca, for such a thoughtful review! It was great having you and your family as our guests. I'm so glad the grandkids enjoyed the playground, the lawn, and all the little adventures that make family vacations so special. Thank you for noticing my father's bird illustrations as well - they're a special part of our family's history, and it means a great deal that you appreciated them. Best Regards - Andre' & Ann
Our cabin was absolutely lovely! Super clean and very charming. Our host was kind and accommodating offering amenities not listed such as minor kitchen utensils that came in unbelievably handy. Our host shared interesting local and family history tied to the area making the experience so special. The view was breathtaking taking and the water magical! There was a provided play area as well as a whole shed for games Id definitely say family friendly! I hope to be visiting again.

I only put a four for one category because the property was older. Wonderful stay but wanted those who saw a review not to be expecting fancy, but a great rustic experience.

Thank you, Mary Beth, for your kind review and for spending time with us. It was such a pleasure meeting you, your husband, and your granddaughters. I really enjoyed our conversations, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to share a little Door County hospitality—including some famous Door County chocolate cherry fudge! I hope your family made wonderful memories during your visit, and we'd be delighted to welcome you back in the future. Best Regards - Andre' & Ann
Another perfect visit! The cabin was extremely clean and so comfortable. Andre’ is a fantastic host and communication is outstanding-thank you! The evening sunset is enchanting and provides closure to a spectacular day. One can get to Door County attractions within 20 minutes (taking the scenic route).Enjoy the people and events during the day and then come evening return to the peace and serenity of the lake and your cabin. Absolutely, the best place to reset and reflect on just how beautiful Door County is.

Thank you, Michael, for your nice review! It was great talking with you during your stay. Thank you for your kind words about the hospitality. Best Regards - Andre' & Ann
The view of the lake was beautiful. There are Adirondack chairs for you to hang out in and relax. You can also walk down the stairs to get closer to the water. We did a little swimming. The cottage is very cute. No A/C but the host has fans in all the rooms so it was still comfortable. We were within driving distance of all the main attractions. The host, Andre is very kind and very helpful

Hi Sam - Thank you for the great review. We appreciate.it. A few years ago, I had uploaded some high resolution photos and they now look like there's a filter over the photo. Not sure if VRBO's softwarre caused this or what happened but thanks for letting us know. Best Regards - Andre'

It was very clean and right on the water. It had everything we were looking for- a great location close to attractions, yet secluded. The host was great.
