Fantastic location

Location of the property was fantastic. We really appreciated being close to, but also being able to escape the busyness of other areas like Sister Bay. Loved listening to the waves and looking out over the water from the deck.

This place was great but highly recommend bringing a starlink of some sort. Or the property owner needs to get that tv hooked up directly to the ethernet. We only used the tv at night to kick back and watch something but could never get it to work due to connection issues. Lets just say I finally caught up on sleep this trip…. I guess it was a good thing lol great place

Still our favorite VRBO!

We have enjoyed staying at this property at least 2 times/year for several years. The location on the water is perfect and the sunsets are stunning. The small kitchen is wonderful for being able to have several means there, and the space works well for just my husband and me. Dan & Gretel are wonderful hosts! I enjoyed taking one of the new see-through paddle-boards out for a try!!

Gills Rock Paradise

Our stay in the cherry unit was cozy and comfortable. The fireplace within the unit added an extra warm & fuzzy as the high temp was 35-45 degrees. The view is absolutely spectacular! We will definitely be returning here.

Amazing waterfront property. Pictured as listed. It is a second story unit so stair ability is needed. Host was on spot but not in your face. Kitchen was neat and clean and well appointed with items you would need to cook but if you plan to cook, bring everything including spices, condiments, and coffee as it is bare there.Overall a really nice stay. Only reason for a 4 instead of 5 star on cleanliness is that the carpeting looked like it co7ld have been clean. Maybe because it was end of season.

What an awesome place, view, and incredible hosts. They pictures on listing don't do it justice. They have do a great job inside and out. We had to leave early because of little emergency. Our host came over to check on us as we were leaving and super nice. We will definitely be back. The place and views like I said before were awesome Highly Recommend

Best location on the peninsula!

Incredible sunsets! We were really able to unplug from life and enjoy. We biked, hiked, kayaked and went to Washington island and a couple of state parks. Cannot beat this location! We don’t like the tourist trap vibe of fish creek. Sisters Bay was enough and close by. Feel so lucky to have found this place!
