The garage and lower level smelled musty. The shower door in the lower level bathroom did not close properly resulting in water leaking out on the floor. The smoke detector in the bedroom closet kept beeping and there was no 9 volt battery to replace in the unit. The house was very clean and comfortable. The yard was awesome and we really enjoyed sitting around the fire in the fire pit. Our overall experience at this vacation spot was very good and I would recommend staying there to my family and friends.(FYI: Our stay was from Friday, October 10-Monday, October 13 not as listed on this review)

This house perfectly suited our needs. Plenty of beds, which ranged from comfortable to too firm, depending on the bed. We loved the sitting area in the living room for hanging out. The back yard was huge! We had plenty of space to walk around, play yard games, enjoy the fire pit. The porch swing was a nice touch too! The main thing that would have improved this visit was a dishwasher. Other than that, we would definitely stay again!

This home was a great size for our group of 6. We each had our own bed and the 2 bathrooms worked well of our group. We appreciated access to the garage so we had a place to store our bikes. Nice secluded location with easy access to town.

The check in was easy. The kitchen facilities were well stocked with plates, cutlery, glasses, cooking tools. It did not have a dishwasher, so we spent more time handwashing than we were expecting. Not my preference, but not a problem either. Dining table was good.

This property was very clean very quite very relaxing. There were 10 of us ranging from 11 to 75 family getaway. The amenities were fabulous pretty much anything we needed was there if we didn’t bring it for ourselves we didn’t really need it. Your location is good for all the other things to do indoor County. We had a good time. Memories made laughs were laughed. Was good to get away and relax.

This trip was amazing. The house itself is exactly as the pictures show. It was a quiet neighborhood with lots of space for fun activities. Yet it was only ten minutes from downtown Sturgeon Bay. If we take a trip back to door county we will definitely be staying here again!

A nice woodsy nature feel but close by to everything else

If you enjoy the nature, outdoor, camping type setting you’ll enjoy it here. As you arrive out back you’re surrounded by trees, a small pond out back, it felt much like camping. My kids enjoyed gathering large sticks and putting up a TeePee by a large tree. There’s a firepit and huge yard where we enjoyed playing some bean bags. In the house we also enjoyed using items like the dart board. You aren’t too far from anything else. There is a hidden gem up the road look close as it’s a small place that does some astronomy stuff, they gave our group a demonstration and we sat inside a dome listening to a presentation which we all loved. The ship canal lighthouse is only a few minutes from here and is neat to check out. I’d stay here again and recommend it.
