Awesome cabin in Quiet Gills Rock

Neat clean little cabin was just right for the three of us. We loved being away from the craziness of the busy towns when it came to winding down for the night. Updated interior. Just what we were looking for.

Fall weekend getaway

Location was beautiful. You could hear and see the water and fall colors. Place was decently clean. Some spider webs and dead bugs on the window sills that I would have expected to be cleaned up. Bedrooms are very small and have big wardrobes that made it had to fit a pack and play when traveling with kids.

Fall getaway

We were very happy with this cozy clean cottage. Gills Rock is very peaceful. The hosts were prompt in answering any questions we had. We were able to walk to see the sunsets at night and have patio fire. It was nice we could bring our dog along. Great location for sightseeing.

Clean, private, nice view, good for small children

We had a great experience staying here! Within walking distance to a great coffee shop called gills rock coffee and the shoreline restaurant. Nice view for a fire at night. The size was great for our small child and dog. Kitchen was a good size to make meals when we didn’t want to venture out. We will definitely keep this place in mind for another stay!!

Quiet cottage to enjoy Door County

Tucked away at the far north edge of Door County, this is a perfect spot for those who want a quiet headquarters for exploring the peninsula. Comfortable beds, all the basics, and a patio with a fire ring that has a view of the water across the road and gorgeous sunsets. A short walk to a supper club style restaurant with water view, and short drive to the Washington Island ferry for exploring.

Loved our stay at this cute cottage just a stone’s throw from Weborg Dock, one of my favorite places in Door County. There are good restaurants and a very friendly coffee shop nearby. Quiet and cozy. Thank you!

Enjoyed staying here!

Very peaceful and relaxing - we liked being further up the peninsula away from the crowds. We stayed with our dog and 4-month old baby. Everything you need is in the cottage. Beautiful starry sky at night. Close to Liberty Grove Town Park Beach which was amazing (not crowded, larger beach that you can walk up and down). Pat was a very kind and helpful host!

Great spot for relaxation

We had a fabulous time in Gills Rock. This sleepy little town is the perfect place for a Covid get away. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing week. It is small and we were glad there were only 3 adults and one dog. We loved morning coffee at the Gills Rock Coffee Shop (make sure your try the cherry turnovers), the 10 minute drive to a great beach at Europe Bay, and our nightly walks to the Shoreline Inn to take in the fabulous sunset. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!!
