The house was extremely clean and cozy. It was in a great location too. I have been to many vrbo’s and I would just suggest to have a small shampoo and body wash in case guests didn’t bring any. It’s a nice little touch. I would definitely stay there again!

We want to thank you for sharing your family’s home with us! The house is immaculate and well-decorated. It was also fully stocked with anything we might need or want. The property itself is beautiful, settled into a clean, wooded area. Location is everything, and this house is ideally located close to all of the Sister Bay places that we love so much. We even walked back and forth to the beach several times with full loads and never felt it was far! We had an amazing week was a family, and we are, again, so thankful that you shared this house with us!

This house is great for easy access to Sister Bay. You are just minutes away from everything. That was our favorite part! It is very cute and cozy. Lots of kitchen utensils. Grill, fire pit and table for outdoor hang. The only complaint is that both beds were very uncomfortable, along with the pillows. Other than that, the stay was great!

First stay in Sister Bay

We loved the property! It was just a couple blocks off of the downtown strip and the water, but very quiet and had a real cottage feel with great updates. Really the best of both worlds because it was close to everything, but the little backyard was private and had a woodsy feel but close to lots of great places.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage in Door County. The home is tucked away in a quiet, peaceful location, yet it's only about a 10 to 15 minute walk to the beach, coffee shops, restaurants, and all the attractions in Sister Bay.The cottage was comfortable, clean, and exactly what we needed for our getaway. We especially appreciated having access to the grill, washer and dryer, and fire pit, which made our stay even more enjoyable.The hosts were kind, responsive, and communicated clearly throughout the process. Check in was simple, and gaining access to the home was very easy. We felt safe, secure, and welcomed from the moment we arrived.We would happily stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Door County.
