This cottage was perfect for our girls trip this year! Very cozy, yet spacious enough that we weren’t on top of each other. Everything is updated and had all the amenities we needed. Location is a little over a mile from downtown.Our hosts were friendly and very responsive to any questions we had. Would definitely stay again!

The property was immaculate. It was situated in a little harbor that was quiet and the neighborhood very friendly. Easily walkable to local coffee shops. Amenities were well stocked.An absolutely wonderful getaway. The property was even more beautiful in person. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook family meals, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Everything was clearly organized and exceptionally clean.

This was the perfect place for my wife and I and my parents to spend the week exploring Door County. It was well kept and just as the listing stated. It is easy to get to, and having my morning coffee watching the sunrise over the canal was great! The decor was warm and welcoming and we felt at home and relaxed right away. The host was responsive and easy to communicate with. We would stay here again!

We had a fun family getaway to experience the beauty of Door County. The house was very welcoming, clean and comfortable. It is located in a quiet area to enjoy relaxing nights sitting outside. Friendly neighbors too. If we had any questions, John & Susan were quick to respond, I definitely recommend this little gem in Sturgeon Bay.
