We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Bailey Harbor home. The location is perfect for so many reasons. It is peaceful, private, and so convenient to get to any Door County spot. We were minutes from beautiful state parks, and charming communities for fun shopping and quality restaurants. We enjoyed comfortable beds and great showers along with a kitchen that also had everything we needed. Our host was very response from booking to checking out. The house was so perfect we needed nothing the entire time we were there. We hope to be back and highly recommend the home!
