We had a wonderfully relaxing stay! Quiet and calming - we had planned some adventures but decided to hang out at the house for most of our stay because it had what we wanted. We watched the birds, the lake, the boats and even had a visit from a fox! Very easy check in, everything was super clean, our dogs loved the dog beds, toys and treats. Dan was very accommodating with our request for a change in our dates by one day difference. We would be happy to return someday!

Pleasant Stay

Enjoyable, quiet, comfortable stay with wonderful view. Enjoyed our morning walks on Bayshore Rd. Shore at the rental was great for launching our kayak. Sunsets are very nice from the entire property...including the upstairs bathroom.

Very cute and cozy space with everything you need for a getaway. This has been the easiest check out process I’ve experienced when renting a space. It was all set for my dog too so I didn’t have to bring anything extra. Great place, definitely recommend.

Fantastic getaway in Door County

This my wife and I's first experience doing a VRBO and we couldn't have asked for a better place and host. The property was as described and very clean. The host was responsive throughout the process. Based on our experience we would do this again through them!

Very pet friendly which was good for our pup, Zak. Dan, our host was very responsive for our visit. View of Green Bay is lovely and enjoyed the wildlife. Little TLC needed for storm door. closet door and patio doors sticking. Coffee maker was quirky and no paper towels. Overall, the cottage met our needs for the couple days we stayed.

Property Comments

Beautiful view of the bay from the porch.. Cannot say that much for the beach!! We had 2 sets of visitors on "private" beach! Stairs should be noted more in description, they are made for younger people, stairs to upstairs bedroom are very steep and long!! Dog pee smell in living room, so we put the doggie bed outside!! Sewer smell around house and on beach!! Property is very remote to restaurants, etc!!

Response from VrboOwner on 16 July 2023
We're very sorry to hear that this guest wasn't completely satisfied with their stay, but not surprised. This guest was attempted to cancel their stay the night before check-in, which unfortunately we were not able to accommodate due to the short notice. After that, the guest was clearly upset, and made it known through the stay. We were at the house mere hours after he checked out, and found no smells of any kind. We had a neighbor come in to the house to make sure that we weren't "nose blind" to a smell and they reported nothing inside or outside the house. It's such a shame that this guest couldn't get the relaxation from his stay that our many other guests have! We hope that whatever is going wrong in his life improves soon! We look forward to hosting guests who are here to find the peace and relaxation that we find every time we're here! Book with confidence future guests!

January 2025 stay

Stayed for two nights. When we arrived late on day 1 the bedding & mattress cover had dog, cat and human hair on them. We removed sheets to see clump of human/animal hair at foot of mattress pad cover so had to strip that off as well. Had to improvise with what was left in upstairs closet. Some Pillows were old and had stains on them. Took pictures of the hair on bedding, sheets and mattress cover and sent pictures to Dan. Also took picture of cabinets as there was dust / hair on upper kitchen cabinets with dust cobwebs. Asked for the cleaning fee to be returned and was denied. Was willing to pay the rate and taxes, but deserved to have the cleaning fee waved due to uncleanliness of the place but not allowed by Dan.

We're sorry to hear this guest left a negative review. This guest stayed the first night without mentioning any issues. The next morning he sent pictures of approximately 5 dog hairs on a small section of the mattress cover (underneath the fitted sheet). Obviously we try our best to be spotless, but we're also an unabashedly dog friendly rental, so it's downright impossible to get every single fur. Regardless, we offered the guest access to our owner's closet so that he could find bedding to his liking. He requested a refund for the stay, and while we would absolutely take care of guests with legitimate issues, we and the VRBO support team deemed his concerns absurd. VRBO denied his request for this refund, hence the retaliatory review. We're sorry that this guest chose to book a clearly dog friendly rental but couldn't cope with 5 furs. This very much smells like an attempted scam by this guest. Our best guests have been dog owners, so we're thinking of switching from "dog friendly" to "dog required"!

It was a cute place on the water. It was very relaxing/peaceful but yet close to Door County to be able to do things there as well. Dan was extremely easy to work with and communication was terrific.

Great place to relax with views & sounds of the waves

Our family (including 2 pups) had a great stay at Jiffy's Journey! The location is in a quiet, remote area south of the more touristy areas but close enough for us to explore all the coastal towns and bays of the peninsula & Washington Island. The home is clean, comfortable, & decorated nicely. The Hosts provide many thoughtful amenities that make vacationing with pets easier & fun. We enjoyed grilling and watching the beautiful sunsets on the water!

This is a nice property in an an excellent location right on the lake! Great to wake up every morning with an outstanding view of Green Bay. The home was clean and nicely organized when we arrived. The host was accommodating and communicated promptly when I had questions. I would stay there again and recommend the property to my friends and family.

Door County Getaway

We had not been to Door County since the kids were little. We had a few days off and decided to go see the fall colors. We had a great time. The house was great. Great location, dog friendly, very clean, beautiful view of the bay. The owners have thought of everything you might need. We hope to go back next year.
