The property was very clean and spacious. We were up for Fall Fest in Sister Bay. The location is very convenient to all the small city’s on the bay side. The road to this home quiet and it’s fun to walk around the block. Very little traffic. The back yard was great. Fire pit was huge. We ended up having a fire every night. The house had lots of room to move around on both floors. The kitchen had everything you could imagine you would need to cook anything. Pictures are very accurate. Plan to stay here again.

This is a lovely house. It is very clean, quite comfortable and spacious. Kitchen is very well equipped with nice propane grill outside. The decor is simple and homey. Yard Is great. Location is nice because you are no more than 15-30 minutes from most Door County towns/activites. Owner was great and listing is accurate. We hope to stay here again!

Very nice home, very spacious, well equipped kitchen. Plenty of towels, linens and great supply of lake floats/toys. Excellent and timely communication with property manager. Dressers in the bedrooms would be very welcome. You need to hang your clothes or put them on the hanging shelf in closet if you don’t want to live out of your suitcase. Also an additional chair in the living room would be so helpful. My 93 year old dad was not able to sit on the sectional sofa, so he ended up sitting on the seat of his walker, since there were no other firm, higher chairs. But overall, a lovely place in a beautiful setting.

This is a beautiful property and was perfect for the 7 of us. Even though the weather was snowy and cold, that didn't stop us from enjoying our time together.
The house is clean, the pictures are accurate and the kitchen is fully stocked. We liked the quieter side of Door County, as we usually stay in Sister Bay. Simce our group is large, finding a house that met all are needs was not easy. This home met and exceed our expectations.

Agnes has a lovely home in Bailey’s Harbor. The house is HUGE and very easily sleeps 10. It’s walking distance to a great fish fry and not far from downtown Bailey’s. I stay here again 10/10.

This house was perfect for a family weekend. We enjoyed the outdoor space and spent the majority of our time out there! There was a nice desk, fire pit, and were even welcomed by the the local turkeys and chickens.
Great place for kids and in driving distance to many of Door County’s attractions.

Perfect for larger families. Amenities were perfect and we had ample cooking utensils and appliances although the microwave broke during our stay and was unusable. Communication was exceptional with the host/owner and would stay here again when in Door County. Easy access to Kangaroo Lake for swimming and kayaking and I loved that they allowed dogs too! Will be back and will be referring to others who need this size house in the future. Great job!

We were joined by our granddaughter (age 6) and son-in-law. We all had a great time and enjoyed the house. Granddaughter was thrilled to get to sleep in a top bunk. We especially liked relaxing, reading on the deck. Thanks for providing a lovely place for our vacation.

Nice size house with plenty of space to spread out. Good size yard with a cool bar area. Location that is close to everything in Door County. The only negative thing was the cleanliness. When we arrived there was piles of dog hair and dirt on the floor. It was almost as if they forgot to finished sweeping it. Overall it was a great vacation and would stay here again!

Secluded, Spacious Vacation Home
Awesome property. Large spacious backyard with deck, perfect for activities with families. Open upstairs concept with big kitchen/pantry, dinning area and living space. 3-bathrooms, which is great for multiple families, and a two-car garage for extra storage space.
We typically stay in Fish Creek or Egg Harbor, so location was a bit of a concern at first – but we quickly found out that we were never more than a 15-20 min drive from the popular towns and activities.
A few things to note: The road leading into the property isn't completely paved, so if you're traveling a lot around DC, it was a bit rough leaving and arriving from the property. There was only one fridge/freezer, so you'll need to bring multiple coolers if you have a lot of food/drink. Also, it's noticeably cooler in the basement, which is designed for kids, so make sure to have warm PJs and blankets (if you don't want to mess with the thermostat. Lastly, the only gripe for the women was there were no full length mirrors (not a big deal to the men haha).
Would definitely recommend this property to others and stay there again!

The house was so cute and updated! There was plenty of room for our whole family. We enjoyed the outdoor entertaining area the most. We played wiffle ball during the day and enjoyed the fire pit in the evening. Centrally located to the water and all of the activities Door County offers. Our host was fast to answer any questions we had. Would definitely stay again!

This is a beautiful and spacious home located in Baileys Harbor near Kangaroo Lake. The home was so clean and inviting. Our stay felt very personalized with dog bowls and treats left for the dogs. The home is beautifully furnished with touches of Door County photos and artwork throughout. The mattresses were so comfortable with cozy bedding making for a great night’s sleep. The yard is beautiful and serene. We even saw a doe and her fawn out in the wooded area. They have a deck, grill, fire pit, picnic table and even a bar outside.
The house is in a great location a little over 10 minutes to Egg Harbor, 15 minutes to Fish Creek and Peninsula State Park and 20 minutes to Sister Bay. There are great restaurants nearby. We went to Coyote Roadhouse per the host’s recommendation where we could bring the dogs and the food was great.
The host was wonderful. It was such an easy rental experience. She was very responsive and communicated in a timely manner. We would highly recommend this property.

We had 8 adults and it was just enough room! House was very clean and had everything we needed. Basement was big enough so play games due to the weather being yucky. Neighbors do have free range chickens that roam the rental property so if you have dogs bring a leash in case they are not friends! They did run away when anyone came outside though.
Otherwise I would highly recommend the property!
