We had a wonderful stay - Darla was an excellent host. It was perfect for an anniversary trip! Great location as it is east to drive anywhere in door county we loved having Ellison Bay as our “home base”. We would definitely stay here again.
The only thing I will say is that we were surprised that it was not a standalone home, it is an end unit of a little strip. Connected is another unit and an adorable antique shop. It ended up feeling very private we were just surprised as we drove up.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The interior is very clean and well maintained, and our host even popped in for a quick visit after we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed. There are coffee shops and a small grocery store very close by (easy walking distance), and of course abundant natural beauty, hiking, restaurants etc. One small note: although this didn’t bother us, those who need to WFH while on vacation might want someplace with a stronger Wi-Fi. It works, but only in the front half of the house and the signal can be spotty. But that’s not what we came for so we weren’t bothered.

Great location in northern Door County. Very clean. Closer to the road than we expected, but no noise/traffic issues and very convenient. Inside is just like the pictures. Would definitely come back.

This was the perfect place for myself and my husband. The cottage was clean and cozy and easy to get to. I loved the decor of the cottage, so cute.
Darla was so nice to talk to, she gave us suggestions on where to go to eat and places to see. She has lots of information in the cottage you can look through. We will definitely stay here again in the future!

Darla’s property was just what we were looking for. It is cozy, quiet and was the perfect location for my husband and I to stay during our weekend getaway to Door County. There is also a delicious coffee shop and a restaurant/bar just steps away.
Darla met us at check in to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend and we would 100% stay again. Thanks Darla!!

Very clean, comfortable and convenient to everything. A short walk to the pier for sunset viewing. There is a coffee shop next door as well a bar and grill with good food. We would certainly recommend.

Everything was great, clean, and comfortable. Darla was a great host and communicator. Highly recommend this as a spot to check out if you’re in Door County. Only minor suggestion is to upgrade the WiFi as it was not consistent.

GREAT property!!! Very clean and spacious. Fully stocked with everything we needed. Host is AWESOME!!!
The only tiny thing I would mention is the WIFI was pretty iffy at the property, and since our phones were not getting a Verizon signal, we needed WIFI almost all the time but we found it at every establishment we went in so it all worked out. We would stay here again in a Heart Beat. Thank You!

This place was perfect for a little getaway to unplug. It's a cute setup and had everything we needed to make us feel at home. It's a great location attached to an antique shop, next to a wonderful coffee shop, and 2 doors down from an awesome pub, Mink River Basin. You won't be disappointed by the pub's food, bourbon and beer selections and arcade room!
Darla, the Host was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back again.

We loved our stay at the Forget Me Not Cottage! The property was clean, well kept and beautifully decorated. it's a great location with the Ellison Bay village within walking distance, and Newport State Park and Sister Bay just a short drive away. We would stay here again!
5.0
I took a class at The Clearing as a commuter student. Darla's rental is extremely convenient for this purpose. The location is easily bikeable to class and walkable to coffee shops (vital) and restaurants and public beach accesses for those all important sunsets. I have a very few suggestions: window coverings in the bedroom would be appreciated and internet in the bedroom would be useful. The internet does not work in this area. However, it works well in the main room. Easy entry for people with mobility issues-- only one step up and very convenient parking.
Positives far exceed negatives.

It was love at first site! We loved the cozy, lovingly appointed, well equipped "Forget Me Not" Cottage in the quiet, laid back community of Ellison Bay just 5 miles, I think, from Sister Bay. We had a wonderful night sleep every night on a really good mattress and with very cool nights with warm comforter or a lighter quilt according to your preferences. The cottage stayed a very cool comfortable temperature the entire 5 nights of our stay. The bathroom met all our needs with plenty of hooks, which I appreciate, and nice hot water in the shower.
The spacious, well thought out and equipped kitchen with island made the cook in our family pleased and produced very nice meals! We spent the cozy evenings in the living room reading in each of the recliner and the love seat. We love that there are ceiling fans in both the living area and the bedroom. In this area we also appreciated and read the community and travel pamphlets and learned a good deal from them. And, we really, really enjoyed the wonderful, spacious, furnished front porch! We started each early morning there with hot coffee and tea ( love the kettle) and each early evening there with cold refreshing beverages. Finally, we come to to our exceptionally kind and gracious host, Darla Yanny!! She was very helpful with tourist tips and directions and in supplying any needs we had. We loved here immediately! And we loved visiting, browsing and shopping in her very interesting antiques store!! Highly recommended!!

Charming cottage in the heart of Ellison Bay! Quiet and just what we were looking for to celebrate our anniversary away from home. Walking distance to coffee shops and a restaurant and driving distance to all the Door County favorites! Darla is a wonderful hostess and had so many recommendations of places to see and things to do during our stay. Highly recommend!

The cabin was clean and comfortable! It was in the perfect location for exploring, hiking, and a day trip to Washington Island. Darla was friendly and easy to work with, she's great!

Very sweet cottage and Darla was helpful. The only thing is the road noise could be a bit loud when windows were open. With no air conditioning, that was a must for our stay. Darla furnished several fans as well.

A great place to go unwind and unplug. A nice cottage in Door County that is in an area that is still somewhat quiet. The owner is very pleasant and helpful, and the property is very nice. We would go back again.

Apartment was comfortable, clean and quiet. We liked being north of the “action” but minutes from Newport State Park and easy walking distance to coffee, restaurants, community beach and general store. Communication with owner was excellent. We had a wonderful time and hope to return soon!

We absolutely love Darla’s rental and Darla herself! This rental is so clean, cozy, and in such a great location. You can walk to the general store or coffee shop as well as a couple of restaurants. A beautiful area - we will 100% be back for a third stay.

Quiet and Relaxing!
Had a wonderful vacation at the Forget Me Not cottage! Peaceful and easy to find. Darla checked in to be sure we had everything we needed. No neighbors to worry about when we listened to music. Just the right size for the two of us!

It was a lovely place to stay for the two of us. We were happy it was in Ellison Bay as it is a quiet area of the county.

A beautifully decorated one bedroom property that is perfect for a couple's weekend getaway. Right on the main drag of Ellison Bay, with coffee shops and restaurants right down the street. The host, Darla, was very accommodating and friendly. Couldn't ask for more.

We can’t say enough good things about this rental. Darla was a fantastic host. The accommodations were clean, quaint, and just as advertised. Ellison Bay is quieter than most places in Door County but still just a short drive from the major attractions. There are 2 good restaurants within walking distance, plus a coffee shop and a very cool grocery store. The road in front is very busy at times, but settles down in the evenings. All basic cooking equipment is provided if you would like to prepare your own meals. The port for the Washington Island Ferry is nearby and that is a “must do”. If you are a couple looking for a nice, private place to stay, this is for you.

My daughter and I stayed at this property for 3 nights. Yes, it is listed as a romantic getaway, which it could be, but for my daughter and myself we made this work as she slept on the sofa. It was very welcoming, comfortable and clean. We both agreed we would stay here again.
