Sturgeon Bay retreat

We had a wonderful few days in Little Sturgeon Bay. The hosts were wonderful and also run a restaurant/bar that's a short walk from the property. We'll be back!

This house is located south of the hustle and bustle of Door County, but close enough for day trips anywhere on the peninsula. Added bonus: there is a restaurant a block away with a great view of the West sky.

Relaxing Stay

We had a perfect stay during our late fall visit. Our host kept us informed along the way and was very responsive. The home had everything we needed to enjoy the fall colors and the beautiful view of the bay.

The Point gave us a lovely comfortable stay on the Green Bay side of Door county. We grilled one evening and watched the sunset and fishermen come in. We drank our coffee in the morning and shared that time with the gulls, cormorants, and the big heron that appeared like clockwork on the shore. During our visit the neighborhood was quiet. We especially appreciated the coffee and tea supplies and the washer and dryer…all the appliances were very nice. At The Point you’re a short drive to the byways going north on both the east and west side of the peninsula…. We took advantage of our host’s suggestions for taking in the sights in the limited time we had to visit. Brenda was great about checking in with us!

Beautiful getaway

We loved our stay. The property is right on the lake, so we had the pleasure of watching the sunset everyday. We also loved that large groups of white pelicans flew in and stayed on the nearby water every night, which is quite a sight to see.

Family Getaway

Our stay was wonderful. The view was wonderful, sunrises, sunsets, and the bay. We enjoyed the accommodations, everything was clean and comfortable. Perfect for our family of 4 with college-aged kids, everyone had their own space. We explored Sturgeon Bay, Sister Bay, etc. Would definitely stay again.

Can not rave enough about this property or the host enough. Arrival was smooth, amenities were wonderful (including the little things that we didn’t even think of like ice), views were breathtaking. My sisters and I travel with our 87 year old mother once a year. This will definitely be our go to place! Thank you Brenda!

Peaceful Island View Retreat - A Hidden Gem!Our stay at the Waterfront Island View Retreat on Rileys Point was everything we hoped for and more. The home is tucked away in a quiet, serene part of Southern Door County and offers absolutely stunning water views - the kind you just want to sit and soak in all day. We spent plenty of time out there and loved the firepit at night.The location was peaceful, but still close enough to enjoy everything the area has to offer - wineries, charming towns, parks, and great restaurants.Our host was warm, responsive, and made sure our stay was seamless from start to finish. This place truly feels like a secret getaway - we can’t wait to come back!

Half Century Weekend Getaway

Beautiful location that is convenient to all that Door county has to offer. My spouse and I stayed celebrating my 50th birthday. Neighborhood was great. Home was easy to find and get to, and is just as it was described in the listing. Overall, great experience. If there was anything to nitpick, it was that we got the check in information fairly close to check-in, so we’d left home before knowing we’d be able to get in. We obviously did get the information and the place was great. Recommend!

50th Anniversary week

Wonderful place to spend a week. Loved waking up to a panoramic water view each morning. Especially loved the sunrises, sunsets and Northern lights at the house and around the Door Co peninsula. Very clean, well equipped homey house. Did the PO fish boil, boat rides, Johnson's restaurant, Maritime Museum in Sturgeon Bay, Peninsula Theater and Wilson's ice cream. Most fun was exploring little out of way places along both shores to watch waves. Thanks Brenda and Chris for your hospitality and our thoughtful beautiful 50th Ann. floral arrangement.

We appreciated the clean, fresh, well-appointed home with thoughtful extras like softened water, bedside charging blocks, 2 types of coffee makers, telescope and soft towels. The bay-front location is ideal for quiet and reflection.
