This place was perfect for our group! Close enough to town for grabbing dinner or coffee, but far enough away to be peaceful and relaxing. Kids enjoyed the paddleboards and kayaks and playing in the lake everyday. Would definitely stay at this property again!

Location was perfect! The waterfront location in a quiet area was lovely and it was a quick and easy drive to dining and shopping. House was very comfortable, we loved the living room with lots of space to hang out, and the deck overlooking the lake was great. Kitchen was well equipped. Would definitely stay again.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The pictures online make this place look newer and very clean. There were several things that needed to be repaired, including doors, locks and the railings going upstairs. Decks felt unsteady and railings were wiggly. The land was gorgeous and right on the water, which was priceless. Bedrooms were practical, bathrooms clean, and the living room was comfy.
Thank you, Jennifer! We appreciate your review and we look forward to welcoming you back for another wonderful experience.

The home was fantastic! Location was perfect for us. Beautiful sunset every single night! The house was well stocked with kitchen items and plenty of linens.*MAKE SURE TOU DOWNLOAD THE CHECK-IN INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ARRIVING* We arrived to the house and there is very limited cell service to pull up the instructions once you arrive. We contacted via phone and was quickly able to get it sorted out. All in all, it was a memorable trip for us. Will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time at this home. It was clean, well stocked, and has so many things to keep our kids busy. We loved the kayaks, standup paddle boards, doc, ping pong table, and relaxing by the fire at night. We would gladly return!

This means so much to our team and owners to hear, thank you!! So glad you had a great stay.
Our group of 8 (6 adults, 2 children) enjoyed our time on the property. It is situated facing west on Green Bay, so we had multiple exceptional sunsets sitting by the campfire. Everything was to our liking, and the proximity to Sturgeon Bay was great to get supplies and enjoy the offerings of the town. Thank you for hosting us!

We are so grateful for your kind review, Ben! This means so much to our team and owners. Happy to hear you had a wonderful stay and we hope to host you again!
We enjoyed our stay at the rental! The beautiful breeze off Lake Michigan into the home, the long dock over the water, and the peaceful neighborhood were pieces to a beautiful stay. The home itself provided seating options to sit, eat, and gather.
Our group was well accommodated with the ammentities provided. The location has great access to all that Door County has to offer.
The listing very accurately reflects the property. The house was very nice, the furniture was very comfortable and clean, and the shoreline was beautiful. We even had a small fire in the fire ring. We all agreed we would stay there again if we were in the area.

Thank you so much for all your feedback! We greatly appreciate this, and are glad that you had a wonderful overall stay.
Clean, well-equiped property. Great amenities! The dock was amazing. There is plenty of yard for backyard activities and the deck has ample seating with AMAZING views. The whole area is very tranquil, inviting, and relaxing.We plan to come back soon!Note to potential renters: the inside stairs are very steep. They are safe, sturdy, and have rails.. but could be daunting for anyone with any mobility or vertigo concerns. There is a downstairs bedroom so you don't have to go up. But 3 of the bedrooms are up there.

It was amazing beautiful property. Right on Lake Michigan. I arranged it. So I got to choose my sleeping quart but I chose the couch. Because the sound of the lake was incredible at night. The house was very clean and updated. We all loved everything about it. Would highly recommend

Thank you, Carrie! We appreciate your kind review and feedback. We are so happy you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the beautiful lake. Hope to host you again!
Beautiful view, bird watching and star gazing amazing.
Overall it was a great place. We found some dirty dishes. Makes it hard to eat without washing everything. A throw pillow smelled bad. I left a note on it and placed it on the washer. Previous visitors should have done this. I am not sure when the cleaning crew had been there. We spent a lot of time making the deck and outdoor furniture able to use. The grill had burnt food. We did not use it at all. Cleaning fee was pretty steep for what we did when we got there. One set of sheets smelled musty like they had been left in the washer for days, then dried and put on the bed. This is a nice place. I would still recommend it. Cleaning crew needs to visit prior to occupancy.
