Beautiful view
These are observations not complaints, but had we known it may have influenced our decision.1. We mainly chose this property for the use of kayak and canoe. There is no safe way to bring these down to the water or back up. But everything you need to enjoy them is here.2. This a a fabulous place for dogs, very accommodating. If you are not a dog person know ahead of time that the furniture in the sun room smells like dog. There was dog fur on the comforters, again not a complaint it is just we are not dog people. In the description it tells you that you can have dogs so this should not have been a surprise. This home is very clean, these are just things that happen when you host fur babies.3. There are plastic covers on the mattress. I have never experienced that at a VRBO before, just weird, not a complaint. The view is amazing and that is what we enjoyed. I am not sure I would stay here again at the rate we paid knowing what we know now, but it was a holiday weekend and options were limited. Host was very nice and answers super quick. There are MANY DVD's to use which is great because the Internet is so spotty we could not use our laptops for Netflix.

Location, Location Location!!
I first want to say that, overall, this was exactly what wife my and I needed and expected. that being said, this is obviously a 1950's-ish lakeside house. The host has done a lot of good work in doing some updates, but...if you are looking for pure luxury and space...this isn't for you. Then again, if you are renting this for that...you're missing out...because the highlights are the very secluded, private location and the spectacular view. We would definitely stay here again!

Sitting in the back yard listening to the waves, sipping coffee and watching the sunrise are the moments I will always treasure.
Visiting the winery and the markets in door county was so fun! We found the best Market was Wienkes, only 1 mile from the house.
We truly enjoyed our stay!

Mostly good time
This property is really in a great location and we loved being right by the lake. The home itself was great as far as space went- little short on closet space. We spent much time in the family room. Beautiful views of lake. We however had concerns about some issues like very dirty garbage can in living area-had to bleach it to get rid of smell, bathroom sick was clogged, outdoor grills were both so rusted and dirty that we couldn’t use either. Fire pit was also dirty. When we arrived at home we had to sanitize all the utensils- per notice on refrigerator. So these issues really put a damper on our stay.

Door County Get Away
Wow! We loved the privacy and the amazing view of Lake Michigan. It almost felt like we were on our own island. We sat out every morning drank our coffee and watched the waves roll in. We took advantage of the binocular's and would watch these far away boats on the horizon. Our first steps into the house we knew we would have nothing to worry about. It was clean and had a open feeling to it. Nicely decorated also! We both took advantage of the room with all the dvd's and games. We did peek into the adventure shed and holy cow ! Everything you need for an adventure it was in there. The host was very easy to get in contact with. There also a binder filled with anything you need to know about the cottage on the table.

Beautiful and tranquil
This property is located on the south end of Door county. The view is gorgeous and it is off a very private road and the neighbors were quiet and respectful of one another. The screened porch was a lovely place to hang out, the kitchen is well equipped, the bedrooms have nice charging ports and the outdoor area is a pleasant oasis. The owner was very responsive to questions. Things to know...cell service and internet is spotty, you are getting away. Plan on games or puzzles or other ways to relax in the evening. The shower is small. Also, while there are kayaks, you will have to get them down some rocks to put in the water- but when you do the water is clear and gorgeous, worth the effort! Overall I would highly recommend this property.

Great view of the lake but did not meet our expectations.
The view of Lake Michigan was amazing! The layout of the backyard was great however it was awfully dangerous to take out the canoe over the retaining wall of rocks. Unfortunately, the backyard was not kept and though we appreciated welcoming our dog to the cottage, it was not relaxing since my dog kept finding trash throughout the yard. There was also a bad odor outside like maybe there was a dead animal so we couldn’t really enjoy sitting outside. The inside of the cabin did not feel very clean either. It was very obvious that many dogs stayed at the cabin in the past. We basically drove an hour or more a day to get to some incredible hikes of Door County and loved all the State Parks especially Peninsula State Park.
