We stayed here from 7/23 to 7/30. The house was clean upon entering. All of the rooms were comfortable and relaxing. The overall property gave us exactly what we were looking for: waterfront property, rest and relaxation, all appliances and amenities allowed us to cook and relax exactly as we wanted. The only "down side" is the rusty well water (not the owners fault by any means!!), so be sure to purchase bottled water for drinking. We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent here at this cabin. We definitely plan to return here, and encourage anyone considering to stay here to do so!!

Just a fantastic vacation home and location! Located on the shore of Lake Michigan with gorgeous views that can be enjoyed from inside the home, on the patio or a few steps away near the lakeshore campfire . The beds and linens are very nice and ensure a great nights rest. The home has a place for everyone to relax inside or out. Lawn chairs are provided for use at the bonfire, as well as an abundance of firewood. Be prepared to spend your evenings outside to watch the moon rise and gaze at the beautiful stars. The Location is fantastic! Sandy beaches are just a mile or two from the doorstep, and access to all your favorite DC spots are an easy drive. We just loved the well appointed home that has everything you will need from kitchen, to laundry to comfort & games. We highly recommend and hope to have the opportunity to spend another week making new memories with our family.

Ample room. Great ambiance. Terrific location. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful time. Everything was just great. Went to Washington Island and many other places. Always was a highlight to come back and sit by the fire. Thank you for sharing you beautiful home. What a lovely stay.

We escaped the city for a week up in beautiful Door County. The house was great. Lots of amenities to keep us bait when we were at the house - games, books, sitting on the porch watching the lake. Great location to all that Door County has to offer. We really enjoyed hiking at the state parks. Nice place to rest, relax and recharge.

We wanted a spot on the shore that would be relaxing if home bound all day and close to all the great things to do in Door County and it delivered!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Killasonna lodge. The house was lovely and well equipped for a family vacation. Lake Michigan view was wonderful. John and Carolyn were attentive hosts.

We enjoyed campfires by the shore. Biking and kayaking to Cave Point Park and Whitefish Dunes State Park. Enjoyed coffee on the porch and on the terrace. Away from the shopping areas and more tourist activities. Watched hummingbirds. Great back-to-nature spot. . Kitchen equipped well for cooking.

We so enjoyed our stay at Killasonna Lodge in mid-July! The home is beautiful and only a stone's throw from the water. WE never saw or heard another person while we were in the home - it is so private. My favorite part of our trip was spending my early mornings on the back deck - drinking coffee, reading and listening to the birds and water. Our kids loved swimming in Lake Michigan and throwing rocks in the lake. The house is very well appointed - even with things like coffee filters, spices, dishwasher pods, sharp knives (which actually cut things!), nice cotton sheets (not the hot polyester ones!), etc. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the owners sent us a great manual full of things we needed to know about the home and Door County. The whole area is so charming, and we loved our visit. There is only one caveat that I would make if you are someone who reads the reviews in full and have made it to this point - this is absolutely a five star house with a water problem. In the packet of information we received 10 days before our trip, we were informed that the house uses well water and sometimes it smells badly and can stain clothing. I don't know if that fluctuates, but it was pretty terrible when we were there. It smelled strongly of iron and some of our clothing was ruined including our pillow cases that we brought with us because we'd go to bed with wet hair - we noticed when we got home that they all were stained a rusty color. For us, it was un-drinkable, and we never felt fully clean after showering. Wisconsin doesn't have a great water as it is, but I feel like there is probably a solution to this problem that the owner should look into. Just full disclosure. It didn't take away from the beauty and charm of the house, and I am not sure it would keep us from renting this particular house again, but it was a bit distateful.

My husband and I, along with our two sons (9 and 10 1/2) and my mother just returned from a week's stay in Killasona Lodge. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were home. The cabin is well equipped and the interior design is exactly what I'd pictured when we first started planning our trip. The five of us with more than comfortable there for the week. My boys enjoyed playing games in the loft in the evenings, and we enjoyed sitting out on the porch listening to the waves crash on the rocks. The lake views are lovely as are the sun and moon rises. When we did leave the lodge, almost everything we wanted was within a 20-minute drive. If you're looking for a quintessential cabin in an idyllic location, look no further. We hope to be back some day.

We really enjoyed our stay last week at this cabin. So spacious and peaceful. It was wonderful that it was wooded and very private. Great access to the lake for our daughter to swim with us. A great fire pit and porch to listen to the waves. It also was still close enough to go to many of the other popular spots in Door County. We definitely loved it! Thank you again!

Wonderful home. My children loved playing in the lake and it was a perfect distance from everything - far enough away from all the tourists and bustle.

My wife and I have been vacationing in DC for over 22 years, renting lake houses, inland houses, etc., all over the peninsula to enjoy various locations and homes. This is one of the best properties we have ever rented. Amazingly clean, well appointed with EVERYTHING you need. I cannot stress enough just how well appointed this lodge is - it has everything you need and more. From the amazingly clean bathrooms, to the fully stocked kitchen where you can prepare meals. The home itself has amazing character and charm, and that wonderful cabin/wood lodge smell. The firepit, with included firewood, was perfect for those cool nights stargazing and listening to the water. Beyond the tangible things you'd expect to find in a rental home, the owners provide such amazing communication throughout the entire process. Very detailed information is sent including directions, pictures, things to do, places to eat, etc, even down to detours you might experience. Very helpful for those new to Door County and unfamiliar with the area. I would certainly recommend this to friends and family and anyone who is interested in just unplugging in DC (although, as 2 working professionals, it was great to have very fast internet when needed!). :-) Thank you John for opening up your home to us!

Many thanks to John and Carolyn for opening their wonderful home to rentals--we've stayed in many Wisconsin rentals in the past, and this was by far the best. Warm and beautiful and spotless, a great place to relax by the lake after a day of hiking/shopping/dining in Door County. We will be back!

Was a great property with a great location. The lake front access was a very nice feature.

Enjoyed the house, location and all of Door County.

We spent 3 nights at Killasonna and even though the weather didn’t cooperate we really enjoyed our stay. The large fireplace was so beautiful and we enjoyed a fire each night. Listening to the waves and watching the water from the back deck was great. Everyone said their beds were comfy and having the open concept great room made visiting nice and convenient while we prepared meals. Communication with the owner John was timely, simple and he provided everything we needed (so detailed!) to make our visit perfect.
