Wonderful Getaway

We had a wonderful stay! The cottage was clean, well-kept, and in a perfect location for exploring all that Door County has to offer. Whether we were heading to nearby shops, restaurants, or outdoor adventures, everything was just a short drive away. The host was responsive and communicated clearly throughout our stay, which made everything even smoother. This was truly a perfect home base for our Door County trip, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Forget Me Not Cottage

Forget Me Not Cottage is very charming and comfortable. Owner Darla is welcoming and most hospitable. The nautical decor is delightful and we had everything we needed. Ellison Bay is much smaller and quieter than the other towns on Hwy 42 and we truly appreciated that. We highly recommend Forget Me Not Cottage.

Such a wonderful VRBO for 2! The decor is so unique and fun! The kitchen area is the perfect size to have breakfast and plan our next day activities. The bedroom is really cute and cozy with fun blue and white accent pieces. The sitting area with tv was a perfect place to relax in the evening after active days hiking, biking, golfing and more. The location is close to a few restaurants so you don’t have to get in the car after a long day. The host Darla was very helpful and gave us great suggestions.
