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 LOVED staying at this adorable “Fun Flat”, everything was perfect and exactly how it was described by the owners. We never ran into any issues, it was spotless and well stocked. Actually gave me some decorating ideas. Easy access and a quiet area. Bed was very comfortable and loved having a full kitchen and private laundry. Thank you so much Susan and John for allowing us to enjoy your sweet home. We had a great stay and my husband enjoyed his birthday getaway.
Sunrise across from our vacation place. Just gorgeous
Loved the little outside lights. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the front porch.

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.

Great week at the Cottage

My husband and I had a wonderful week at the Cottage. As advertised, everything you need is provided and the cottage was perfectly located for a peaceful week. We loved being by the marina and waking up to sailboat lessons being given on the canal and sitting outside on the small patio in the evening. Perfect location to get to know Sturgeon Bay and also close to Hwy 42 for our Door County day runs. The King size bed was perfect and very comfy. We would definitely come back.

I can't swoon enough about our stay in this cottage - beginning with the wonderful view of the goings on in the bay. We watched the kids learn to sail, a barge go out, and a tall ship come in, among all the other activity. Check in was very easy, and the cottage is generously supplied in the kitchen & bathroom with everything you need. We especially appreciated the comfortable beds & living room.There's a game cupboard, lots of local reading material, streaming TV, an electric fireplace, laundry, and a wonderful front porch.To top it off, the hosts send great instructions and are fast responders to messages. This stay has it all, ENJOY!

This house is wonderful. It is spotless! The beds are comfy and fit our family nicely. The kitchen was VERY clean and organized with everything you need! The hosts also supplied games and a fire pit. It rained the day we wanted to use it, but it was nice! The canal is pretty. We enjoyed watching the sailing school. The neighbors were friendly. The location is great! There are restaurants near by. We had an amazing burrito from a little truck in town. We also were able to play disc golf in Sunset Park. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely love to come back.
