About this property
Do you need a big place ? Door County Church Restored to a Beautiful Home
Door County has been named the Best Family Vacation Destination in Wisconsin as well as one of the Top Ten Vacation Destinations in North America by Money Magazine. Most recently it has been named the Best Wisconsin Romantic Getaway by Wisconsin Magazine. In the heart of Door County is the Village of Sister Bay which is on the bay side of Door County. This is significant because if you like boating, swimming, fishing or just beautiful sunsets, the bay side is the place to be. Sister Bay has lots of shopping, restaurants and water activities as well as a huge marina.
Very close to the village is Maple Manor, a beautiful 2 acre estate with a historic church that has been transformed into a beautiful home. The great room is 27' x 47' with a beautiful fireplace and several sitting areas. Off this room are 4 bedrooms all with their own fireplaces and whirlpool baths. The large eat-in kitchen is also off this extraordinary room. Upstairs are 2 more bedrooms each with their own whirlpool baths and each with their own staircase. The basement has 2 bedrooms, a bathroom with walk in shower, big screen TV, pool table and shuffleboard table.
This is a perfect home for a large family or several couples who enjoy traveling together. It is truly an extraordinary place to stay.
There is so much to do in Door County that you just can't fit it into 1 week.

About the host
Hosted by Gary Polipnick
I have been vacationing in Door County for 2 decades. We purchased a condo at the Scandinavian Lodge in Sister Bay several years ago. Maple Manor has incredible vibes, as anyone that has stayed here will tell you.
Why they chose this property
We saw this home as an ideal place for extended family.
What makes this property unique
Maple Manor is in a great location in town, Sister Bay. This home was formerly the Sister Bay Baptist Church. The previous owner completely renovated the inside but kept the original exterior look.
We can walk to town for coffee or walk to the beach. It is only a short walk for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We believe Sister Bay has some of the best restaurants in Door County.
Family and friends enjoy having a private bath with whirlpool tub in their bedroom. All of the bedrooms are roomy with sitting areas, writing desks and fireplaces. The 3rd floor tower is a great place for solitude and has a great view of the village. Everyone enjoys the views from the great room and kitchen area.
The lighting in the great room is spectacular at night. The beams and bookcases are illuminated. The sky and clouds are painted on the great room ceiling which is 25 feet high.
Sister Bay is in the heart of Door County and Maple Manor is in one of the best locations on the peninsula. Our home is an inviting and special place for anyone that visits.
