We finally made it up to Door County to celebrate our 50th birthdays, albeit 2 years later. The house was very nice & clean. It had a lot of supplies in the kitchen & bath that were a nice touch. We enjoyed the neighborhood, the woods and the quiet.

While it sub zero temps outside, the cabin was toasty warm and cozy. We enjoyed the wood burning fireplace a great deal. The kitchen was very well stocked and all the beds and furniture was comfy. We'll be back!

Highly recommend. Fantastic communication with the host. Our group of 6 (two seniors 80+, two teens, and two 40-somethings) so enjoyed our stay and the amenities were great. Flat entry access to the cabin, first-level bedroom and bathroom, & easy access shower made this property extra delightful for my parents. The fireplace was so cozy - especially on our very snowy and cold long weekend visit. We easily made all our meals during our 3-day stay. The breezeway between the cabin and garage was a great "winter gear & stuff" storage area and space to get ready/undo for the outdoors. Loved the space for 6 to eat very comfortably and for family games/puzzles. Had a great time relaxing here.

Lovely warm home that worked perfectly for our family Christmas getaway. We just needed snow to make the setting perfect! The Starlink internet was great too!

We stayed there between Christmas and New Year's, holing up to play board and video games, making cozy foods, and watching the occasional snow fall from the big windows. The host was prompt with answers to questions and made us feel welcome.

This cabin in the woods was the perfect base for a lovely weekend in Door County. We loved the cozy cabin vibe and the fireplace was the perfect way to relax after our days of hiking and exploring in the fall leaves. Very comfortable and more than enough room for our family of 5. It was clean and well supplied with kitchen items and basics. The host was very responsive and helpful with Door County suggestions. Will definitely return!

This property was located in a wooded area and you could not see the neighbors house thru the forest. We saw deer right outside our kitchen window often in the forest. The property on the outside does need a little landscaping work because it did have some overgrown weeds in the front entrance way which made it look very uninhabitable. But the inside was very clean and comfortable for the most part. Some of the mattresses need to be replaced they are a little too worn out. One bathroom was recently updated but the other bathroom upstairs needs to be remodeled. The kitchen was very nice and was very stocked with dishes and pots and pans and utensils. This property was located in a very quiet area and it was a distance from Sisters Bay Egg Harbor and all the restaurants. Overall we enjoyed this property very much.

This lovely home is well appointed. Kitchen has everything you would possibly want. Very comfy beds, plenty of dressers/closet space. Birds and deer right up to the patio off the dining room and love the large windows to see all of the surrounding beauty, very private!
