Great Little House

We took a family fishing trip when we visited Sturgeon Bay. The house accommodated us perfectly. Plenty of room to hang out and visit and everyone slept well. The kitchen was great and we used it for a fish fry after we caught our walleye. Fun time had by all.

It worked—but not the best.

Not a lot of time was spent at the Sweet Retreat as our family explored Door County. The lack of bedding, cleanliness, and unpleasant smells inside the property was a disappointment. Providing items such as tissues and an outdoor grill would make the retreat sweeter.

The house was about what I expected. Beds were comfortable. nice rural area. Missing a few items that would be a nicer such as. Grill, casserole dish and storage containers. Also blinds/curtains would be nice it the main rooms for city folk it is a bit eerie with no window treatments. Idk who or what is out in the woods staring in. Dad trying.
