Home on 5 Acres in Ellison Bay!

If you're looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway, then you've found it at The Goddess Door Family Home, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! This home is located on a quiet 5 acre piece of property on a cul-de-sac.The yard has several seating areas, and room to run. The house is on the north side of Ellison Bay, close to many activities, and a good home base for exploring all the county has to offer. This home was built by the current owner's father, who was a skilled carpenter. He handcrafted the kitchen cabinets from cherrywood and made the stained glass windows in the three season porch. He remodeled and maintained it with love. There are many small touches in the home that reflect the family's Door County history, such as the kitchen table that belonged to the owner's grandparents where many family memories were made. You will also find art from local artists, and touches of the Clearing throughout the house.

**This property is located in a quiet community with neighbors and is geared towards quiet family vacations. Due to the proximity of neighbors, we cannot accommodate parties at the property including bachelor or bachelorette parties, reunions, or other rowdy gatherings.

Great location and well-equipped.
Overall, we had a great stay. The location was perfect. When we were at the house, we spent most of our time in the kitchen. If we stayed here again, it would just be the two of us, because of the sizes of the beds and layout of the bedrooms.

Always a Treat!
Another fabulous stay at the Goddess Door! We have been coming to Door County with our children for over a decade, and this is hands-down our favorite property to stay at. The location is fabulous and the property itself is charming and perfect. Thanks for another wonderful stay!

Mostly great
The house was cozy and on a beautiful property. Loved the wind chimes as we drove in the driveway. The stained glass around the home is very pretty. The main issue we had was the listing called out two full bathrooms which we assumed included a shower in each, but the house only has 1 shower in the primary bath. The second bath has only a tub. The single shower was clogged and water was not draining properly, so that we had to wait to use it so it could drain between uses, and taking a shower was unpleasant standing in a tub full of water. We informed the host of the issue and heard back that someone may be coming to fix it, but the host did not communicate a follow up message to let us know if the issue was fixed during our stay. Other than that, a few fans might help keep the place cooler when using the window AC - without fans, the cooling had a hard time making it to the primary bedroom in the back, and the guests staying in the smaller bedrooms were too cold. Thankfully the second night was cooler and we could turn off the AC and open the windows

Very beautiful kitchen
The house was very nice we loved the kitchen. When we reached out the response was very fast. It’s in a very good location to get to sister bay or ride the ferry to Washington island. Lots a places to hike near by. The only thing I have an issue with was the third bed room being open to the hallway and the living room with out reading all of the property details I did not catch that at first but it still was a great place to stay and would stay again if in the area. Thank you for letting us stay! We had a great time!

The house was beautiful. The bushes by the main entrance can be trimmed. The bedrooms could use a fan. We enjoyed our trip thoroughly. Thanks for the host!!!

Very clean and well stocked, except for no gas in the outdoor grill. Broiled steaks instead, which were delicious.

We recently had a wonderful family getaway at this beautiful property. The property is beautiful, so much outdoor space, plus nice house decor and spacious rooms. The location is perfect and we appreciated the newly renovated kitchen and appliances. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing stay in a perfect setting and location. We look forward to returning in the future!

As we prepared to leave we noticed that there was a wet load of clothes in the washer? You need a drain plug that fits in the tub, we used a rag to get by. The plant life could use a trimming. Overall a nice place.
