About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Welcome to your own private getaway!

Set back in a quiet wooded area but within walking distance of Pebble Beach and some of the most beautiful views in the area. There's enough space for everyone. Enjoy the relaxation of it all and feel the stress of real life fall away. This place is perfect to just get away from it all. Let us know if you need anything and welcome to the best part of Sister Bay!!

A little history about the property-
My ancestors built little sister resort (was next door) when they settled the area and when my grandparents sold that they built this house in 74. I actually lived in it from 9-16 too. The resort ended up buying it and renting it out for 20+ years. When the resort sold, they broke off some of the side properties including this one. My husband and I jumped at the chance to own what used to be family property.

Any questions then feel free to ask!

Beautiful wooded area

The home was old but spacious. The wifi was great, having A/C was great. Being on a quiet secluded road was great. We enjoyed watching the sunset on nearby Pebble Beach and being so close to Al Johnson's for breakfast. We always enjoy our time in Door County.

We loved the location and I appreciated response time and communication. The fire-pit area was great and well equipped. My only negative was the overall cleanliness of the property. Windows were dirty, corners had many spiderweb buildups light fixtures were dusty etc. Except for that concern, it was a great place

Cozy and quiet moments from the heart of Sister Bay

This was everything we had hoped for! A clean and comfy ranch in a quiet, woodsy setting, you would never guess this is only a couple minutes outside the bustle of Sister Bay! The beds were comfy, the fire pit was relaxing, and morning coffee on the deck were perfect. We had a nice short trip to Pebble Beach from there too! The owner was very prompt to respond and amiable when we had questions, plus she made sure plenty of amenities were stocked up for our use. We can't thank the owner enough for an ideal stay!

Family annual fishing trip

Every year for the last 8 years, my family and I have been coming up to Door County for our annual family fishing trip. It is extremely difficult to find a location up here with adequate parking for 2 boats and trailers as well as accomodating 6 adults. This place truly exceeded our expectations and has become one of our favorite places to stay up here. The location is prime, the house is extremely accomodating and comfortable, and you are just steps from the water! In addition, Nissa was by far the most responsive host I have stayed with, which was really appreciated. We definitely look forward to coming back in future years. Thanks again for a great stay Nissa!

Worked well for us

Nice clean house. Older but that's OK. Location is good. Lots of trees around the property/area so there will are bugs and spiders outside, but also deer. Only issue was the grill outside didn't get hot enough to cook a brat. All in all, happy with the place.

High School Friends Grad- 1971

The house is set in a very quiet neighborhood. The front yard has a partial view of Sister Bay while we say at the bistro table and chairs. All their beds and furniture were clean and comfortable. The inside of the house had a little musty smell. It did dissipate after we turned on the Air Conditioning.
