Clean, well-equiped property. Great amenities! The dock was amazing. There is plenty of yard for backyard activities and the deck has ample seating with AMAZING views. The whole area is very tranquil, inviting, and relaxing.We plan to come back soon!Note to potential renters: the inside stairs are very steep. They are safe, sturdy, and have rails.. but could be daunting for anyone with any mobility or vertigo concerns. There is a downstairs bedroom so you don't have to go up. But 3 of the bedrooms are up there.

Hello Kimberly, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the home, dock, deck, and peaceful setting, and that you found it relaxing and well-equipped. We appreciate you noting the stairs for future guests’ awareness, and we’re so glad the layout still worked well for your stay. We’d love to welcome you back soon! Warm regards, The Simple Life Rentals Team

Great stay! Amazing location and a lot of activities to do. I wish there were more fans in the bedrooms, as some of them were hot. Great to be right on the lake though!

We had a fantastic 5-day stay at Heidaway. The house was clean and stocked with all of the dishes, pots, pans, tp, soap, etc., that you could need. Absolutely GORGEOUS lake views, stunning sunsets, a deck, yard, and dock that beckon you to hang out outdoors, which is exactly what we did. The kayaks and stand-up paddle boards were super fun and the chairs around the fire pit encouraged relaxation and some welcome hang-out time. A couple of the bedrooms were a bit tight, but that was no problem – the beds and sheets were comfortable, and we didn't spend much time in them, because really, this place is all about being outside, and THAT VIEW. We cannot recommend this place more – the photos on the site look great, but the views are even more incredible than you expect, just absolutely electric.

Excellent Door County Getaway
Our group of 8 (6 adults, 2 children) enjoyed our time on the property. It is situated facing west on Green Bay, so we had multiple exceptional sunsets sitting by the campfire. Everything was to our liking, and the proximity to Sturgeon Bay was great to get supplies and enjoy the offerings of the town. Thank you for hosting us!

The two of us had a great weekend. Was the getaway we needed. Minus the very windy conditions that kept us from enjoying the outdoors at the cabin. We still enjoyed going to local restaurants and then relaxing in the cabin

Lovely Property Just As Described
The listing very accurately reflects the property. The house was very nice, the furniture was very comfortable and clean, and the shoreline was beautiful. We even had a small fire in the fire ring. We all agreed we would stay there again if we were in the area.

Get away with co-workers
It was amazing beautiful property. Right on Lake Michigan. I arranged it. So I got to choose my sleeping quart but I chose the couch. Because the sound of the lake was incredible at night. The house was very clean and updated. We all loved everything about it. Would highly recommend

The property was perfect for us! We had a group of 6 women. Plenty of room to sit inside & multiple places outside.
The lake frontage makes it extra special.

Great place for gathering!
We enjoyed our stay at the rental! The beautiful breeze off Lake Michigan into the home, the long dock over the water, and the peaceful neighborhood were pieces to a beautiful stay. The home itself provided seating options to sit, eat, and gather. Our group was well accommodated with the ammentities provided. The location has great access to all that Door County has to offer.

This was a wonderful house just five minutes from town in a very secluded area. We loved sitting on the patio watching the lake, bird, and squirrels run about. The pier was a perfect place to watch sunsets (when the smoke from Canadian fires allowed). The fire pit seating area also provided space for all of us to congregate with an afternoon glass of wine. The house was as described and fit our group of 7 perfectly. This is a perfect spot for your Door County vacation as everything was provided and it was a great area for day trips up the peninsula. Check out the summer music events...we saw free live music every night!

We had a great stay. The place was clean and perfectly prepared for our visit. The house was well stocked in the kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms which made it very easy to settle in. The outdoor space was fantastic for games, dining, drinking, and bonfires. The sunsets on the lake were the cherry on top.
