Memorial Day weekend getaway

The perfect place for our family trip. Everything was spotless and the beds were comfortable. There is a private outdoor area for guests with a canopy, picnic table and firepit. Steve was kind enough to start a fire for us. We'll be back!

Great Getaway

My friend and I loved Joan and Steven’s place! It was so comfortable, peaceful and quiet. Had everything you would need in a vacation rental. Joan and Steven were amazing hosts - lots of communication, recommendations and help! For example, Joan loaned us towels and folding chairs in case we decided to go to the beach. I’d recommend this place and would return!

Perfect Sturgeon Bay Stay

Beautiful carriage house. Had all amenities. Hosts were extremely accommodating. Property located about 10 minutes from downtown Sturgeon Bay. Quiet place to stay on beautiful, sprawling property. Outdoor fire pit too. Garage space below the carriage was a plus to store our bikes. Definitely would stay here again.

Beautiful natural country setting with a very comfortable and well appointed separate apartment on owners property. Joan & Steve are very accommodating and leave many thoughtful ‘surprise and delight’ home baked treats, bonfire ’concierge’ service, and many local tips. A true reTREAT !!!

It was tranquil, clean and everything I needed. Close to town, but far enough away to enjoy the countryside. The hosts were present, friendly, knowledgeable about the area and brought us cookies to welcome us. 15 minutes from a charging station for electric cars.

The Doorstop and hosts Joan and Steve were very attentive and ensured we had everything we needed. The rental was small but very clean and neat and the spot serene and off the beaten track but not far from many other places of interest. We enjoyed viewing the wildlife, including birds, turkeys and deer.

Peaceful homebase in Door County

Joan and Steve were amazing hosts, from fresh baked cherry pie to making and lighting fires for us in the evening. The space is spotless, the beds and linens top rate, and the peace and quiet was wonderful. If you're looking for a serene homebase for exploring Door County, even in the height of the summer season, this is your place!

When got back one of the nights they even lit a camp fire for us at a private fire pit (separate from theirs). Top notch place with top notch hosts! Highly recommend.
