This unit was so cozy and comfortable, and the location can’t be beat. What a lovely view! The unit was clean, Gretel was helpful, and the fireplace was perfect for reading a good book on a chilly night. This property is a great choice for a solo traveler.

Fantastic location

Location of the property was fantastic. We really appreciated being close to, but also being able to escape the busyness of other areas like Sister Bay. Loved listening to the waves and looking out over the water from the deck.

Relaxing in Door County

Are stay at this location was beautiful and relaxing. Being right on the lake, and having amazing view to seeing the stars at night was so breathtaking. The jetted tub in Vrbo was perfect to relax and warm up during such a cold time to stay.
