This was a clean, cozy, and quiet spot to spend a 4-day weekend with the family. Despite being in a private, wooded area away from the hustle and bustle, every place we went was just a short drive away (20 minutes at most). Communications, finding the place, checking in, and parking all seamless. Beds were comfortable, kitchen and baths all good. A/C, Wi-Fi and TV worked well. Upstairs bedrooms were warmer than downstairs as expected for a 2-story house, but keeping it a little extra cool downstairs made the upstairs reasonably comfortable. All things considered we would definitely stay here again!

The location ended up being absolutely fantastic. We were worried about being so far north, but it ended up being a lot better than other locations we've stayed, which were south of Sister Bay. The house is beautiful with lots of comfortable chairs and couches to lounge after long hikes. It was really hot the week we visited, our bad luck, and the bedrooms do not have A/C so it got really warm in those rooms. I don't think that would be an issue during normal Door County weather, again just our bad luck. Showers were great, and having a washer/dryer was handy. Watching the birds at the feeders was a nice touch.

Really great place. Easy to find, great location.

We loved this property. It is very private. It's off the beaten path, but many interesting features of Door County (Sister's Bay, Northpoint, Ephraim) were a short drive away.
