I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and the amenities during your time at Oak & Orchard House, Jordan. I love cooking in that kitchen, too—any time of the year. We hope to welcome you back again some day!
Perfect for my family because of how dog and kid friendly it was. Also, one of the best decorated VRBOs I have ever stayed in. Would definitely stay again next time in Door County.
Our stay was wonderful! The house and grounds are just as pictured. We especially loved the porch for morning coffee and the backyard for an evening fire and some star gazing! Check in and out was quick and easy. Beautiful home!
Everything was great and the small issue we had was resolved right away. Truly enjoyed our stay and would come back again. We enjoyed how quiet it is there!
What a quaint and charming farmhouse! So beautifully decorated as well. We enjoyed our stay immensely. It was comfortable to relax in at all times of the day. We especially liked the swing bench on the porch every morning as we drank our coffee. It was also conveniently located to all the adorable little towns.
We loved this immaculate and comfortable house which is close to sister bay. It was perfect for our family of 5. Beautiful deck to relax on and listen to wind in the trees. We would happily stay again.
Far exceeded expectations! Meticulously cleaned, beautifully decorated, fully stocked, excellent location and spacious. Can't wait to come back in warmer weather to take full advantage of the large front porch, deck, fire pit and bikes!
We had a wonderful time staying here - a beautiful house in a great location. We were able to relax in peaceful surroundings yet close enough to get to either Sister Bay or Ellison Bay for fun and sun. Martina was a great host and quick to respond to any questions. Thanks for everything!
The house was cute, very clean, and had all of the necessities. There is a tenant that lives in the back half of the house, but they were quiet and very friendly.

Thanks, Richard! We appreciate your nice feedback and hope we can host you again!
Quiet, clean and cozy! From the front porch to the back deck and fire pit, with everything in between, this house is well-appointed for a relaxing stay. I appreciated the care to decorating, along with comfortable beds, extra blankets and fans. As with any older home, the floors are definitely creaky, but it is to be expected. Would definitely return!
We had a great long-weekend stay at this renovated farmhouse. Fully furnished with all the essentials for a great family getaway in Door County. Clean and comfortable with little details such as bikes including a pull behind child carrier, board games, a fire pit and deck, well equipped kitchen, and dog treats, dog food and water bowls. The hosts were also very attentive. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much John! It was pleasure to meet you! We would love to host you again!
This home is meticulously clean and in a beautiful location. It is close enough to everything, but you feel like you are alone in nature. The hosts communicated with us regularly throughout the process of booking this property. Everything was communicated clearly for check in and check out. The house had so many thoughtful touches: outdoor spaces, wood for fires outside, fans in each room, really comfortable beds and a bottle of local wine on the kitchen table. We were sad to leave. It was wonderful and we will definitely book here again when visiting Door County.
