Sweet & Simple

Our family of four adored this property. Russ and Stacy were very accommodating and the listing was identical to what we received. The charm of the property was exactly what we were looking for to explore the Door County area. Minutes from downtown and plenty of room for us to park the boat and charge it.

Cute Home

It was a lovely spot! Everything in the cabin was as described. Bed was comfortable and while we were there we only needed the fan at night. Another plus was Dixie the friendly dog that greeted us when we would get back from hiking. Would definitely recommend this place.

Unwind & Explore

Owners Russ & Stacy (and their sweet dog, Dixie) are genuinely friendly and welcoming. They carefully maintain their cabin to provide comfort and serenity. The cabin had everything I needed to enjoy my solo trip to Door County. It was spotlessly clean, the fireplace was perfect, and I slept soundly after exploring Sturgeon Bay & beyond!! It was hard to leave but I KNOW I will be back.

Amazing location

Russ and his wife are some of the kindest, most accommodating people we’ve ever rented from. The cabin is cozy and perfect for what we wanted in a place to stay. The Door County area has so much to offer and their cabin was the perfect compliment to a wonderful weekend.

Impeccably clean, Fully equipped Historic cabin

We absolutely loved staying here. Everything from the easy to access, close parking to the inner and outer Cabin amenities to the Goregous flowers that adorn the exterior. Our Hosts Russ and Stacy were so accomodating and friendly it was like meeting up with old friends. Dixie their Lovely, gentle Golden greated us with squeals of delight every day and basked in the sunshine with us as we enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. Our location was mere minutes to delicious restaurants, antique shops, wineries, shoreline and so much more. The beds and pillows were so comfy we slept like logs every night. AC upstairs and downstairs was so nice to come "home" to after a long day sighseeing in the summer heat. I cannot say enough about how lovely this cabin and its owners are. A scenic drive from Milwaukee, we 100% recommend this hidden gem! 10 out of 10!

Cabin stay

This was such an enjoyable stay. At first we were deterred by the steep stairs but then realized that was part of the old home. Stairs were like that and to change that would have changed the authenticity of it. Hand rails on the sides of the stairs took care of any concerns. The fireplace and exposed log beams were our favorite parts of the home. We used the fireplace often throughout our stay. So clean and cozy. Absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for the amazing experience. Maureen and Michael Oschman

It is a beautiful cabin. It was amazing coming back to it after a long day of site seeing. Relaxing and sitting by the fire, it doesn't get much better than that. The host was awesome. We had everything we needed..even the extras like french vanilla creamer😉 We would definitely stay here again.

Great Place

We loved our time at the cabin, it was a very clean place to stay. It was awesome to see pictures and know the history of the cabin, they have done a great job of restoring it and making it into a nice place for people to stay. While we were they we were able to enjoy the Fireplace in the Cabin, if we visit the Door County area again, we will stay again! It was a nice getaway for our honeymoon!
