I don't often write reviews but our long weekend in this A-Frame was too amazing not to! Its a beautiful build with a classic cabin feel and incredible mid century detailing that is superiorly maintained. Has memory foam mattresses, ample seating aimed around lake views inside and out, screens and windows to let in the breeze and sound of the water (AC if you really need it). This was the most relaxed experience, basically please take your shoes off at the door, clean up after yourself at the end and have a blast. We loved the home so much that we even changed our plans from going out to spending an entire night around the cliffside firepit (they tented tinder and newspaper in the pit with an abundance of firewood, made it sooo easy).Our first visit to Door County was lovely and this listing was a definite highlight.

The A frame was a quiet picturesque spot for a getaway. It is conveniently located in Sturgeon Bay and is a short drive to beautiful spots farther north up the peninsula. The view and fudge is outstanding!

The pictures don’t do this place justice. Was the perfect place to stay along Green Bay for our family of 4. Owners are quick to respond and worked quickly with us when we had to adjust our arrival date. Cabin is an easy 10-15 min drive into Sturgeon Bay. Had great sunset views, kayaks that we took into the nearby bay, and all the amenities needed for the stay. Kids asked if we could come back again someday.

My husband and I stayed here for our 45th anniversary and it couldn't have been better. The cottage had everything we needed and then some. It's beautifully decorated and the view is spectacular. The hosts attention to detail is phenomenal. The location is great! It's close to everything Door County has to offer without all the hustle and bustle. We really enjoyed listening to the old albums on the turntable and the fun welcome basket filled with local treats. Thank you Tom and Polly for sharing this gem with us. We hope to be back soon!

I’ve always loved an A-frame and this one was a perfectly decorated mid century modern home. So much nostalgia. The location was perfect and the view was stunning. We were able to visit each town on the peninsula knowing we had this great home to return to at the end of the day.
