Overall amazing weekend. I think the price was fair for the amount of room you got. Smelt like a new house when you walked in, very straight forward instructions for check in/out. We stayed with 6 adults and the proximity to the towns was the best part! We did get rained out our weekend but the house was so big and the porch was perfect for waiting out the rain. No complaints!

Jasmine - Posted: 8/17/2025

Hello Jasmine,
Thank you for your review! We’re so glad your group had a comfortable stay and that the home provided plenty of space to enjoy—even on a rainy weekend. It’s wonderful to hear you appreciated the convenient location, and we’d love to host you again.

We’re happy to hear you enjoyed being close to all your favorite spots, that’s what it’s all about!

Simple Life Rentals staff

Loved the location (spotted momma and baby deer every time we went to the patio deck). Loved the newness of everything! The rock stairs were challenging for my parents to climb. I thought they would be able to access on the main level without climbing the stairs. I messaged about an issue with king bedroom bedding and have not heard back from them after two attempts.

Michelle - Posted: 7/22/2025

We’re so sorry for the delay in responding to your message about the bedding and for any confusion regarding the stairs. That’s certainly not the experience we want for our guests, and we appreciate your patience. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the peaceful location and the deer sightings and that the updates to the home stood out! Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Simple Life Rentals staff

Our family of 6 had a great stay at this home. We especially appreciated the deck and the downstairs suite with a full bath. It was perfect for our son, his wife, and their baby. We hope to be back again!

We did a little getaway to Fish Creek that was booked super last minute. The location was great! Very secluded with beautiful wildlife (saw dozens of deer!) and large fire pit. The house was newly updated with three bathrooms and very comfy beds. We will definitely be back. Overall great stay!

We had a wonderful stay in this new home in the woods. Great location close to Fish Creek and near Ephraim. Wonderful outside space with fire pit and big deck for sitting and eating outside.

A very relaxing, spacious, clean house. My 5 friends and I really enjoyed our stay. It’s close to the Door County shopping, but private enough to enjoy the outdoors.

Shawn - Posted: 6/8/2024

Thank you, thank you!! These genuine reviews and your happy experience in one of our homes is why we do what we do. We hope to host you again soon, Shawn!

Great house for our fall trip to Door County with three 7 year olds. The kids loved playing in the basement as well as playing in the woods outside. The location is great for visiting Peninsula State Park and the surrounding towns. The house was well stocked with everything we needed.

Araceli - Posted: 10/29/2023

Thank you, Araceli, for your kind feedback! We are so happy you had a wonderful time and we hope to host you and your family again sometime.

Great vacation spot! The location is outstanding being just minutes away from everything including Peninsula State Park. My wife and I stayed with two other couples and the layout worked perfectly. We had our own bedrooms and also plenty of communal space to plan our day out and converse. Unfortunately the weather didn’t let us use the fire area as we had anticipated, but the space looked awesome. We look forward to staying again when the opportunity arises.

Phillip - Posted: 10/28/2023

Thank you, Phillip! We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed the home and the location. It would be our pleasure to host you again!

Simple Life Rentals staff

Absolutely beautiful place!! So clean and updated. Fire pit was beautiful area to gather. It is well worth the cost if you are planning to go with a group. We did have 4 women and it was nice to have space in evening to sit and visit. We were gone during the days, so it was definitely more expensive to stay not utilizing the grounds that much. Would encourage a group of people to go. It is very spacious and peaceful. And with more people could split cost better. Thank you for sharing you home!!

Robin - Posted: 10/22/2023

Thank you, Robin, for your kind feedback! We are happy to hear you were pleased with the home and it was our pleasure to host you!

Simple Life Rentals staff

The best VRBO place we've stayed at, even with the difficulty bringing luggage inside the house. You have to enter the house up 14 steps or try schlepping the luggage up a sloping gravel area. Suggest making it a driveway.

GARY - Posted: 10/20/2023

We appreciate all your feedback, Gary. So glad to hear you had a great overall stay and enjoyed your time at the home!

We’ve been coming to Door County for a decade and this was the best place we’ve stayed. So clean, new, super comfortable bed, lots of room. We will absolutely be back next fall. Thank you for having us.

Simple Life Rentals staff

We enjoyed everything about the house. It was well located, just minutes from so many places. The beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked, the deck was great and the house was immaculate. As mentioned by others, there were a number of stairs up to the house but it wasn't a problem for us. Would definitely stay there again.

Anne - Posted: 10/16/2023

Great location in a quiet area under a mile from Peninsula State Park. This is my second time this year at this location. Owners have made some changes since that really improved our stay. Overall it is a new property, clean, not luxurious but very nice. Private area downstairs almost like a kid/teen apartment with its own bathroom was perfect for my son. Only complaint would be the cooking pans were scratched up Teflon. And check in is on a timer so if you show up at 3:45 you have to stand outside till exactly 4 to check in. It does say you can check in early for a fee…

Earl - Posted: 10/6/2023

We appreciate all your feedback! Thank you, and so happy to hear you enjoyed the changes in the home. Hope to host you again!

Simple Life Rentals staff

I have stayed in many many Airbnb’s and i believe this one is very overpriced. The outside area was beautiful and the deck was peaceful and our favorite spot to hang out! It could use some new towels as they were stinky and not soft at all. Queen bed was terribly uncomfortable and definitely could use new pillows all around. Its new and modern and looks like the pics online but didn’t feel very “homey”. The area was nice but most shop/restaurant staff were not very friendly at all.

Cynthia - Posted: 10/2/2023

We thank you for sharing your feedback with us, Cynthia. We are glad that the home met your expectations and you enjoyed your overall stay.

Couldn't have been better! Beautiful and very clean house with everything you would need! The deck/porch was a favorite gathering place...stretching in the morning and then coffee....cocktails in the evening. Wish we would have had more downtime to relax at the house. Great location! Would highly recommend!

Meg - Posted: 8/25/2023

Thank you for your kind feedback and review! We are so happy to hear you had a wonderful stay and experience.

Simple Life Rentals staff

Had a girls weekend, we had a blast! If I had to post one thing to improve upon...both walk ups to the doors are a little treacherous, trying to roll luggage over the stones was not easy and to carry bags up the steps were slight too steep but again I understand this is new construction so we made due. Otherwise GREAT place, would definitely stay again.

Michelle - Posted: 8/20/2023

Thank you, Michelle, for your feedback. We are glad you had a wonderful overall stay!

Great location for Fish Creek, Ephraim, and Sister Bay. State parks were great. Explored many restaurants. Fun place for the family to meet and reconnect.

Simple Life Rentals staff

The location was great. The fire pit fantastic. The front porch is great for coffee and an afternoon drink. The steps were a surprise but between the three of us kind of had a relay system going with one person at bottom carrying up part way, next person carrying to top and last person taking into cottage. Would definitely stay there again.

Judy - Posted: 8/11/2023

This was the perfect place for the 6 adults in my family to stay while in Door County. Clean, spacious, very new feel and smell. Beds were really comfortable, kitchen had what we needed, showers were really nice. It looked just like the pictures! The location is great! Quiet, yet close to enough all the towns on the west side of the peninsula, while being 10 minutes closer to the east side of the peninsula. We would definitely consider staying here again.

We had the most amazing experience at this place! It was impeccably clean, it was in a remote private setting, and the front deck was an incredible place to have coffee and cocktails! All mattresses have memory foam and were so cozy! We needed to contact the property management company and they were so kind and accommodating. We are talking about booking again next year for the same time because of our amazing experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our party of four adults loved this rental! Very clean, new super comfortable beds, and close to surrounding towns. Within 15 minutes there were plenty of restaurants, parks and shops to explore. We would definitely rent this one again and so would our friends who accompanied us! Come and enjoy Door County here!

What a wonderful property! It was so nice to be away from the ‘hustle and bustle’ of the main drag, and to have such nice surroundings. The hosts have thought of everything. The property was everything you’d expect from new construction. From the fire pit and chairs around it, to a very well-appointed kitchen, to very comfortable beds and pillows, this property has all the comforts of home, and then some. It exceeded our expections.

Lynette E. - Posted: 8/26/2022

Super clean, beautiful surroundings and modern amenities! Love the house but agree with previous reviewers that the stone stairs are rather frightening. I was really glad I didn’t drive up with young children. Great location in the middle of everywhere you want to be! Would definitely stay here again

Our stay was really great! We loved the place and it fit the needs of our family very well. We spent a good amount of time on the porch with coffee and/or games. The beds were nice and comfy and the kids loved having their own space on the lower level. Lots of space, lots of kitchen amenities and a beautiful location. If we're in the area, we would definitely stay here again!

Christi - Posted: 8/14/2022

So glad you & your family enjoyed the home! We hope to host you again soon.

Simple Life Rentals staff

We had a great stay. The location is secluded in a good way in the woods but close to the center of Fish Creek so it was the perfect stay. Loved having coffee on the outdoor balcony with quiet all around us (even spotted some deer in the back yard) and enjoyed making s’mores in the fire pit with the kids. The house itself was very clean and well-taken care of. Could not have asked for more and definitely would stay here again! 5 stars!

Jeff - Posted: 7/30/2022

We really enjoyed our stay at this new, spacious house! It's located just 1.8 miles from Fish Creek with easy access to all that Door County has to offer, but a quiet place to relax at night. The beds were very comfortable. The fire pit is wonderful and we enjoyed breakfast on the 2nd story deck. We had everything we needed and appreciated the "heads up" about bringing condiments and spices. We did have some trouble checking in as the code we were given did not work and we had to call the 888 number to get a new one before we could get in. Also, the front stone steps are beautiful but challenging to get up and down if you're short!

Sandy - Posted: 7/24/2022

Beautiful home secluded in the woods and close to town. Very clean and as described.

Amy S. - Posted: 7/22/2022

Thank you! Please come back and see us again soon.

Simple Life Rentals staff

The house lovely. The one concern for us was the brick stairs to enter the house in front and the stone slope to enter the back was a bit difficult for the two seniors who stayed there. Also the patio had a very loose post that made the rail very insecure, but it was fixed during our stay.

Rose V. - Posted: 7/18/2022

Simple Life Rentals staff

This was the perfect spot for our family’s trip to Door County. Location is great - about a mile outside of Fish Creek and an easy drive to the different activities we had planned. A few things to be mindful of — internet service speed and reliability is not what most are accustomed to and is rationed daily. The owners are very clear about this but something to pay attention to if you are trying to connect for work or other needs. Cell service is also very poor and there is no land line so think ahead if ordering takeout, etc. We did have a unique experience of the power going out for about 5 hours in the evening due to a storm that went through — being a newer property we didn’t find any flashlights or candles.That is perhaps the only suggestion we have for the owners is to make those items available in case of emergencies. Otherwise it was a great property and we would definitely return again in the future!

M K., Wisconsin - Posted: 6/29/2022

A new and spacious open concept space located a short drive away from Fish Creek and Peninsula State Park. There is a large king-sized master suite with adjoining bathroom with an air mattress in the closet (we comfortably used our own pack n play instead and had plenty of room). There is another bedroom down the same hallway with an extra full bathroom for use. Additionally, there is a downstairs smaller suite with a sitting area and a separate bedroom with a bunk beds (with a full size bottom). This extra area is perfect for kids, or just mixed groups to get away from each other for some privacy.
There is a wide open deck, a clean and accessible laundry room, well equipped kitchen, a fire pit with seating and a grill. There is plenty of room for parking 2-3 cars and still feel the open space in the front yard with the fire pit.
Highly recommend, especially for long-term stays!

Melissa - Posted: 6/20/2022

The house was beautiful. Great setup. Only thing we can recommend is bring a full length mirror and be careful with the steps going up to the house.

Simple Life Rentals staff

I've been coming to Door County for 18 years, and this was by far the nicest, cleanest place I have ever stayed. The house was spotless, and the amenities were plentiful. We sat out on the deck every day which was beautiful. The outdoor fire pit is also a huge plus. The location was perfect - a short drive to Fish Creek and other towns. We had a person in our group who is highly allergic to dogs so we needed to find a place that was totally pet-free, which is hard to find in Door County. I emailed a lot of owners, and all of them except this home said their place was pet-free but that they've had their pets stay there occasionally. This house was 100% pet-free, and my friend could enjoy her trip. I HIGHLY recommend staying here! You will NOT be disappointed!

Ronna - Posted: 6/4/2022

A couple of weekends ago we decided on a whim to spend Memorial Day weekend in Door County. We were thrilled when we found this property and it didn't disappoint. Great location near Fish Creek and Peninsula State Park. The house is very new and spacious. Nicely decorated with no clutter. The kitchen was well furnished to cook several meals. The wooded lot feels secluded and the sounds of the birds are so relaxing. The property management team was very responsive even before we arrived. I saw that a previous review mentioned that there were no wine glasses so I inquired. They added new stemless glasses before we arrived (thank you!). When we arrived our access code didn't work I called them and they resolved it in 5 minutes. Everyone I spoke with was very friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone looking to spend time in Door County.

This place was roomy and convenient for travel to other locations within the door county area. Spacious most definitely, there were four of us, 6 would be a max for me if I came back. Rooms are spacious and 3 full bathrooms that are nice as well. The internet is a bit slow as the night goes on and it is shared amongst those who are on the wifi. Other than that no issues and it is tucked in a quiet area but peaceful to be in. My friends and I would stay here again

We loved this place, made a fire in the fire pit, star gazed, and hung out on the patio. They could lose some of the driveway rocks which make it less cozy and cold, and the stairway is a little dangerous and rocky. Overall great place though and just offering these as suggestions.

Loved the property and location, as it was as advertised and close to a lot of amazing restaurants and experiences. I loved the seclusion and sound of nature when sleeping. The only issue is we had a wrong key in the lockbox but they got a spare to us within 30 min so that wasn't really a big deal, things happen, but the promptness they dealt with it was great!
