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.

This was an amazing place to stay!! The hosts were wonderful and everything was so nicely set up for us when we arrived. They were so hospitable and gave us great tips for things to do in the area. The place was very clean, well organized, and had extra amenities like coffee bags and little creamers set out for us when we arrived. The area is a perfect close distance to Sturgeon Bay while still being in a quiet scenic country side. It was exactly what we were looking for!

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.
