We had a wonderful stay at the Boat House and especially liked the panoramic view, the comfortable (and whimsical!) decor, and its location to everything.Brian, the owner, had great suggestions for dining and local attractions and was in frequent and clear communication with us from booking to departure. We are already planning a return visit!

Honeymoon in Door County

We had a great time staying at the boathouse. Check in was easy and this cute spot on the water was the perfect size for us. The host was great and had plenty of recommendations for things to do locally. He also included a little honeymoon gift for us which was very nice. Would recommend to other guests

Perfect Getaway by the Water

The pictures do not do it justice. The view is outstanding and the sound of the water will lull you to sleep. The boat house is cozy but was perfect for me and my husband. Very close to all of the amenities of Sturgeon Bay and a short drive from the natural attractions of Door County. My husband and I are both in grad school and so had to do homework for part of the trip, and the WiFi worked great, even outside by the fire pit. Lots of great birding opportunities, we saw pelicans and loons, bring your binoculars! All in all the perfect little getaway for us.

Almost perfect

The Boathouse was everything we were looking for….almost. The house itself was great. All the items we needed were provided and then some. We were close to so many wonderful sights and activities. The only downfall for the guys was no fish to be caught off the deck or dock, which wasn’t all bad because we enjoyed looking for fishing spots. We did end up doing a charter one day and caught some very nice bass. While the location was great the road was very busy and not many obeyed the speed limit, be careful crossing the road to get to your vehicle. All in all it was a very nice stay and the Boathouse is lovely, we would do it again.

With our friends, we planned our annual wine weekend. The "Boat House" was a charmingly decorated place to enjoy. The views were amazing during the fall season with the picturesque scenery via amazing windows. THANK YOU!

This was a 3-day stop over before we headed home after being out west for a couple of weeks. The home had lots of items for use in the kitchen and was comfortable. Close to town so easy to visit the area. Wi-Fi was good. A good place to stay.

Relaxing stay

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the boat house. From the front windows it felt like you were in the water. We enjoyed eating our meals looking out at the water. We got to see the ducks and fishermen going by. Watching the rain dance on the lake. We enjoyed setting out on the deck, having a fire, and just relaxing with a glasses of wine. I wouldn’t mind living there. Very peaceful and calming Brian called before we left home to make sure we had everything for our stay.

Awesome views, Wonderful place to get away

Loved, loved,loved this VRBO! I can't say enough good about it. Wonderful place to relax and view the bay. Many options to sit outside with your group. Quiet location that makes you forget that you are in busy door county. Small, but in the best way possible. Plenty of room for 4 people. Waterfront Marys is just down the road for a fun and tasty fish boil!

Cute relaxing house right on the water. Close to town yet tucked away and remote. Nice patio to sit and watch the geese, seagulls pelicans and others. Only glitch would be internet was unable to connect wifi and cell service was limited.

Great Getaway

Stayed for 3 nights to relax after a wedding in Milwaukee. It was so peaceful after a very busy weekend. Two bedroom house right over the water with a great firepit on the porch by the water. You can join the Ice Age Trail in the Potawatomi State Park right at the end of the very peaceful and walkable road. Went to another state park and a county park and a few wineries during our visit! Good food and scenery abounds. Awesome location and beautiful surroundings make this a great retreat for a small family or two well acquainted couples. Would return here in a heartbeat!
