Excellent place to stay for your next Door County Trip. I personally loved staying in Sturgeon Bay and making my way up from there as needed. This rental is in a remote location surrounded by calm nature so it was quite nice enjoying the mornings on the back patio. At the same time, it is no more than a 5 min drive from food/coffee shops and downtown sturgeon bay! The property itself was quite spacious and offered a plethora or amenities. I especially loved all the pamphlets they provided detailing the different things you could do on your trip. They did have more check out instructions than I've seen in any other rental property I've stayed in but, nothing out of the ordinary. Would highly recommend!!

Loved our stay here! We were a close drive to good restaurants and was easy to navigate from there to experience the rest of door county. The place was clean and relaxing and it was great being able to sit outside in the evenings by the fire pit!

We had a wonderful time at the Lunker House #3. Everything was great. The space, the location, the cleanliness, the communication. It was just perfect for 5 sisters and 1 sister-in-law for a long weekend in Door County. Only 2 very small issues to note. 1. The lockbox for the door key was kind of a pain and I am glad we didn't have to open and close it all the time -- an upgrade would be nice. 2. Really need some towel bars and hooks in bedrooms and bathrooms. I would think it would be rather inexpensive and easy to add some hooks and towel bars?? One very small over the door hook in master bath was not sufficient. Not even a place for a hand towel by sink, I opened door below the sink and hung hand towel over that.I wanted to note as I realize as a previous VRBO owner that because as an owner you yourself do not usually stay in the place to even realize these little things.Thank you for a great place to share to create so many fun memories!

First impressions were great communication with the manager. Very accommodating. The house was as described. Clean, easy to get to and close to the Door County towns and events. There were 9 of us girls and it was spacious enough and comfortable to sleep for all. I would highly recommend and will return if we come back to the area.

This location was exactly what we needed for our weekend. The location is just on the outskirts of downtown, but was easily accessible. The home itself was clean, had ample space and the kitchen was well-equipped.

First trip to Door County

The property was fantastic!...very clean and the perfect size for our group. Enjoyed being greeted each morning by 3 deer right outside our back door. Enjoyed the seclusion and rural aspect of the home while also being a 5 min drive from the bayfront. Would definitely recommend!

The interior of the property was updated and clean, we did have a small issue with one of the shower drains, but it didn’t effect our stay. All in all it was a good setup for a visit to door county. We will be booking again.
