The house was in a great location within 7 miles of Sturgeon Bay to pick up groceries or go to lunch or dinner. The house has a beautiful view of Lake Michigan and has a long stretch of sandy beach to take walks. The kitchen was well supplied with pots and pans to cook dinners for 12 people. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the house.

This is an older property with lots of character that perfectly suited us. The sand beach is gorgeous and perfect for walking. The house is spacious and private. It was cool, but our dog loved the swimming in Lake Michigan. The neighborhood is quiet and our old biking legs appreciated the flatter roads in the area. It is beautiful in Door County and this area along Glidden is one of the most beautiful. Mary and Ray Spangler are great hosts who respond immediately if there is a question or problem. For us this is a five star property and we are already looking forward to coming back here next July.

Gorgeous beach, commodious beach house, friendly, interesting owners who were extremely accommodating. Hope to return next year.

Stayed with the family and some friends and their kids in Mary's Beach House for five nights. Ray and Mary were great with the check in, said we could come a little earlier as the cabin was available, even replaced a gas grill that was broken the next day. We got there late Sunday afternoon and immediately hit the beach, which is really the most outstanding feature of the property. We could see the kids playing in the water from the deck and the path is short, maybe 30 feet or so before you hit the sand. Pretty much spent all week on that amazing beach. Sand everywhere, even with the kids rinsing off their feet with the hose next to the house. Hard to keep the sand out, but we tried. There's washer and dryer in the cabin, so we did a lot of laundry. Had to buy beach towels, as there were none. The cabin itself has lots of bedrooms, with a lofted room that has a 360-degree view that is pretty amazing along with a little deck area. Though this space could be a great master suite, it was set up more for kids. Overall, the cabin is feeling it's age and there are a few areas that are perpetually damp and dank, which is just how it is when you have a place right on the beach. Makes it smell like wet cedar, just like my grandparent's cabin. There are lot of dusty cabin-y knick-knacks around (not like the "beach swag" you get from Amazon) and plenty of post-its that let you know what you can and can't do in the house--just like grandma and grandpas.

Very comfortable. Loved the Deck.

Location is amazing. Wonderful hostesses they have a lot of pride for their beach house in the woods. I’m sure they have enjoyed many memories there.

We checked with the owner and was told we could check in at 12:00, but when we arrived the house was still being cleaned - the owner didn't tell the cleaning person. we waited on the deck and beach while the cleaning was finished. The house had lots of bedrooms and the spaces were large. It was great that we could walk out the back door and be at the beach. There was a grill with a propane tank, but when attempting to use found the ignitor did not work and the grease trap was broken into 3 pieces. there was also a charcoal grill which we sued in stead. I messaged the owner and he was prompt and addressing the issues - brought towels and look at grill and said not to use. As the week progressed we discovered the ice maker was not producing ice and the upstairs toilet was problematic with continual running. I would rent again, but when I called with my dates for next year the house had been rented, but have blocked in dates for 2025. this is a great place for families with young childrent to gather and enjoy the beach.

The house is lovely and was enough room for my family of ten to spread out when we needed, but come together when we wanted to. The beach is perfect-quiet and hardly saw anyone else. The water was lovely (a bit chilly in June). Watch out for mosquitoes-would advise bringing lots of spray in mid-June.
