Family fun

We were 6 adults and a toddler. This was a perfect location in a quiet beautiful wooded area just minutes from the beach and shops and restaurants. The house is clean and well stocked with comfy beds , games for indoors and out and plenty of space to hang out together. We had a great time reconnecting.

Clean, comfortable home

We enjoyed our stay at Hinter Haven! The property was secluded and quiet, with nice landscaping. At the same time, it was close to both highway 42 and 57. We enjoyed relaxing time on the screened-in porch. The home was very clean and inviting and they really thought of everything you might need for your stay. Would stay again!

A little piece of true tranquility

We had an amazing stay here. From the toys and books for the kids to the screened in porch where you can just listen to the whispering wind in the trees or have coffee and breakfast in the morning, staying here was the first time I've felt truly refreshed by a vacation in quite some time. The property is beautiful and secluded and it feels like a home that has been loved and cared for. We always felt welcome and comfortable. Highly recommend.

Wonderful experience

Such a great property in a great location. We were 5 minutes from our Spa and great restaurants. The proper was peaceful and easy to find. Owners had such great personal touches - fresh cut flowers and local cherry salsa! The first morning while having coffee on the screened in porch, 3 deer approached the house!

Annual Door County family vacation

This was our second stay at Hinterhaven and enjoyed our time here just as much as on our visit last year. Wendy and Paul are phenomenal hosts and very responsive. Their home is beautiful and the property is situated in a stunning setting. The kitchen was very well stocked and the house is very nicely decorated. We especially enjoyed the screen porch on nights when it was raining or a bit chilly.
