If you’re looking to unplug, reconnect and take a step back in time this IS the place to stay! This sweet, 1800’s cabin will not disappoint! Super clean, comfy bed, fully equipped kitchen right up to ice cube trays! I enjoyed having coffee out in the cedar gazebo in the mornings and having cozy fires in the fireplace-all the wood is just out the door on the porch. If you’re lucky, you might even get to listen to an owl right outside the open window above the bed like I was! Book this gem and be centrally located to all things Door County. Be sure to get down to the beach just minutes away to watch the gorgeous sunrises too. You will not be disappointed. Russ and Stacy are great hosts.

The cabin was amazing! We could not have had a better time. It was a perfect place to relax, play board games, curl up by the fire, and watch movies. It was clean, spacious, and perfect for a romantic getaway weekend. We cannot wait to come back next year!

Impeccably clean, Fully equipped Historic cabin

We absolutely loved staying here. Everything from the easy to access, close parking to the inner and outer Cabin amenities to the Goregous flowers that adorn the exterior. Our Hosts Russ and Stacy were so accomodating and friendly it was like meeting up with old friends. Dixie their Lovely, gentle Golden greated us with squeals of delight every day and basked in the sunshine with us as we enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. Our location was mere minutes to delicious restaurants, antique shops, wineries, shoreline and so much more. The beds and pillows were so comfy we slept like logs every night. AC upstairs and downstairs was so nice to come "home" to after a long day sighseeing in the summer heat. I cannot say enough about how lovely this cabin and its owners are. A scenic drive from Milwaukee, we 100% recommend this hidden gem! 10 out of 10!

The cabin was just as described and just what we were hoping for. Very clean, quiet, comfortable, and well equipped. We loved staying in an authentic log cabin and reading about the history of it. It's in a very convenient location outside of Sturgeon Bay to go exploring in Door County. We appreciated being able to relax in the evenings and watch movies from the comfortable couches. The stairway up to the bedroom and upstairs bath is steep with small steps, but we didn't find it to be a problem at all. We would gladly stay here again!

Situated in a great midway point a stone’s throw away, the home was ideal for equal-parts leisure and home base for excursions throughout the peninsula. The property itself was very clean and to the letter what the listing and similarly-positive reviews forecasted. The hosts were very kind and communicable, even welcoming us with gratis treats. I would definitely stay here again, my only regret is not having an outdoor fire pit accessible on the property.

Sweet & Simple

Our family of four adored this property. Russ and Stacy were very accommodating and the listing was identical to what we received. The charm of the property was exactly what we were looking for to explore the Door County area. Minutes from downtown and plenty of room for us to park the boat and charge it.

Cute Home

It was a lovely spot! Everything in the cabin was as described. Bed was comfortable and while we were there we only needed the fan at night. Another plus was Dixie the friendly dog that greeted us when we would get back from hiking. Would definitely recommend this place.

Unwind & Explore

Owners Russ & Stacy (and their sweet dog, Dixie) are genuinely friendly and welcoming. They carefully maintain their cabin to provide comfort and serenity. The cabin had everything I needed to enjoy my solo trip to Door County. It was spotlessly clean, the fireplace was perfect, and I slept soundly after exploring Sturgeon Bay & beyond!! It was hard to leave but I KNOW I will be back.
