Winding Down - A Retreat on the "Quiet Side"

Fall has arrived! Plan your winter adventure now!
Winding Down is the perfect place to enjoy the quiet side of DC. We are walking distance from the North Bay Nature Preserve & the shores of North Bay. This is the ideal location for fall & winter activities. We are surrounded by the unspoiled beauty of a cedar forest that provides a needed respite.
Enjoy cross country skiing OR snowshoeing in the trails nearby. Come in from the cold to build a cozy fire & enjoy a glass of wine.

The space:
Enjoy our Sweet Escape! This newer, open concept house has a separate master bedroom suite, guest room and loft. Our spacious kitchen and great room are perfect for any family to relax, unwind, and reconnect with each other.

We adhere to the Door County Commitment to Cleanliness and Safety by cleaning and disinfecting according to CDC guidelines.

Guest access:
Guests have access to the entire house. During the Summer we provide 2 kayaks and 4 beach cruisier bicycles. During the Winter we provide 4 pairs of snowshoes.

Other things to note:
Pet fee $100/stay. All pets must be indicated when making the reservation.

What an amazing weekend spent in Door County! When we booked the house Winding Down months ago, we didn’t know how much we really needed this getaway. The house was beautiful and there wasn’t a thing it didn’t have. The fire-pit provided perfectly roasted marshmallows and smores and the stars were magical. Thank you so much Jim and Ellen! We will be back

This was such an amazing stay! Door County is great, and this location was perfectly in the middle of all the things we wanted to do. The house is stunningly beautiful and massive! The owners were great to communicate with and made the whole process so easy. Absolutely love this place and can't wait to come back and stay again!
