If we could give more than five stars, we wouldn't hesitate. After multiple stays, we can confidently say this is the most ideal place we've ever booked.The hosts are truly exceptional – warm, attentive, and thoughtful in every detail. Over our visits, they've become like family to us, creating an atmosphere that feels both welcoming and restorative. We already have next year's dates locked in and plan to return for years to come.The sauna deserves special mention – it's so incredible that we were inspired to install one in our own home! Combined with the perfect location and the hosts' care, every stay leaves us feeling rejuvenated and literally ten years younger.This is what a relaxing vacation is meant to be. If you're lucky enough to snag a booking, you're in for something truly special. We cannot recommend this place highly enough.

NO PRIVACY!!! Surveillance camera in game room as soon as you enter. Neighbors allowed to come on property and use kayaks. Neighbors also stood by hot tub while my daughter was in it. (These weren’t ppl from the other unit, they were neighbors who said owner told them they could use them) Also, three yard works and owner came to do yard work while I was in hammock in wet swimsuit & towel on first full day. The yard didn’t even need it; grass was already short. No warning when they arrived. I was told to move so they could mow under hammock and around trees. Also, owners popping in unannounced whenever they wanted! Air conditioner worked poorly, moldy coffee grounds left in coffee maker, dirty hot tub with no chlorine, poor WiFi and only really accommodated 2 adults comfortably for sleeping! Will NEVER come here again!

My daughter & her bf in hot tub & neighbors would come by hot tub or return kayak to spot next to hot tub.

Beautiful home! The MOST beautiful location! We truly enjoyed staying here. Loved the sunsets. Enjoyed the hot tub and sauna. We enjoyed the clear canoe and our dog LOVED swimming in the crystal-clear water. Relaxing, serene location perfect for country walks. We enjoyed watching boats coming in and out of the harbor. Host stopped by to say hi and was so friendly! Would stay here again!!!

Best place to stay in Door County

This place is a true gem! The breathtaking view of Green Bay was only surpassed by the warmth, attentiveness, and genuine kindness of our hosts. Every detail of our stay was thoughtful and welcoming. We’ve found our forever getaway in Wisconsin—this will be our go-to spot from now on. We’re already looking forward to coming back this fall and next summer!

Waterfront dream cottage was very clean and was beyond our expectations. The amenities of the hot tub on the lake with a beautiful sunset view, sauna and clear bottom kayaks were our favorite, which made it very relaxing and enjoyable.We would definitely recommend staying and would come back to enjoy in the future.
