This is by far the best place I have ever stayed at in Door County. A beautiful modern cottage nestled in the northern part of the peninsula, there were so many amenities we couldn't possibly take advantage of them all during our stay. I loved the attention to detail in the cottage design, then the interior design. So thoughtful and elegant! We enjoyed the fire pit, hanging out reading, sleeping with the windows open, and the little toad visitors on the patio! Cory was easily accessible with answers to all of our questions. I loved being away from the more crowded towns and having to take the iconic curvy Hwy 42 to get here. Highlights of our trip were the cottage, Jackson Harbor Soup on Washington Island,The Peninsula Bookman and Coyote Roadhouse. Until the next time...as we plan to book a stay here again!

Thank you for this beautiful review! We loved hosting you. See you again soon (we hope)!
We loved this gorgeous, modern, escape! Tucked away in a quiet nook, it was just what we needed. Excellent host communication, clean, cozy new home. Most every kitchen and bathroom amenity you’d need. We loved the games that were provided, was fun playing with the kids in the evenings. We felt like royalty all weekend! Would highly recommend.
This is what a property should be like when you go. Everything was so well thought out and so taken care of, everywhere we looked made us happy. There was a surprise or something that made life better in the property in every room. Our whole family was blown away.
