Great location. Fantastic yard for gathering and playing games. Lots of amenities very kid friendly. Had everything you would need for vacay. Close enough for day trips wherever you want to go. We even went to manitowoc for the day. Great to just spend the day hanging out at the house as well. We love this place. Would rank one of our top stays in the last 6 years of getting a house in surgeon bay for our family vacation.

This was a great, relaxing property. There was pretty much anything you could need available. The beach is across the road which wasn’t something we noticed in the listing, but the road was a very low-traffic road, so we still didn’t have to worry too much about the kids crossing. There are a lot of deer on the roads, so watch out for that if driving in at night. Very beautiful property. Wonderful for small groups. Kitchen was well-stocked. Toys available for around ages 1-5. There is no air conditioning, but that wasn’t an issue with the breeze from the lake. I could only see it being an issue during a major heat wave. It was actually cold in the cabin even on the one day the temp hit 80

A New Favorite

The Clerestory is an ideal Door County family vacation property. Located on a quiet neighborhood lane with direct access to a lovely stretch of sandy and pebbled Lake Michigan shoreline, it doesn't get much better than this. The cottage itself is ridiculously comfortable, tastefully and thoughtfully appointed. We were thoroughly charmed the moment we pulled into the driveway. Check-in and communication with the host was seamless. Our only disappointment is we wished we could have stayed longer and the weather had been more cooperative for our stay. Thanks so much for the allowing us privilege to experience your beautiful home. We'd love to return given the opportunity.

This property worked so well for our family! We had six adults and two children under the age of two. There was plenty of space for people be together when we wanted to be together, and also have some down time away from the group. Really appreciated the abundance of toddler toys, books and sand toys, and the owners’ generosity with allowing use of the kayak and tandem bike.The view of the lake from the house is good, even while being protected from strong winds by the trees. The beach is close to the house, and just a few stairs down to get to the beach.The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans and utensils. The house does not have air-conditioning, but there are plenty of fans, and the breeze from the lake helps keep it cool. We would definitely stay here again

Beautiful setting with direct lake views and lake access in a quiet, very walkable neighborhood. There is a mile of friendly beach that we walked each day.The home is spacious and comfortable with a great kitchen, outdoor eating space, and a big refrigerator.The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The lofted bedrooms can get pretty warm on hot days as there is no AC. Most of the nights were cool enough, but on hotter days my sons slept on the pull out couch downstairs. The location is a close drive to the best beach on earth at Whitefish State Park. White sands and crystal clear water, and dog friendly if you are able to make the walk to the super nice dog beach. There is a golf course 1 mile away and my boys enjoyed visiting the driving range. We loved every day that we spent here.
