Description Description
Welcome to Old Fashioned, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! Just like the Classic Wisconsin cocktail, it is known for its simplicity and nostalgia. This 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage sleeps 4 and is perfect for those looking to experience all that downtown Fish Creek has to offer. It is walking distance to it all: Blue Horse Café, Bayside Tavern, shops, the marina, and more! Also, it is less than a block away from the Fish Creek Public Beach: a small, sandy beach with an adjacent grassy park.

You will find the kitchenette fully equipped with refrigerator, freezer, four-burner stove, and oven to prepare meals. The updated, comfortable living space provides multiple seating options and a Smart TV, as well as a queen size pull-out couch. Enjoy the outdoor deck and patio set, with a privacy fence. On the porch, find a propane grill ready for shish-kabobs and local fresh caught fish! Walk over to the local Fish Creek Market and stock up on your favorite wines, late night snacks, and last-minute supplies. The well-appointed little cottage is set back from main street behind a building offering the perfect mix of quiet and close to it all.

A quick weekend to Fish.
A nice place very close to Main Street. We did not cook but the kitchen seemed well equipped to do what you would need. We never to find the Wi-fi password. Will book again when needed.

Great location!
The house was exactly as listed. The host responded quickly to questions, and check in/checkout instructions were clear. The location is amazing! Walkable to all that fish creek has to offer. Definitely read the check in instructions ahead of time, since the address brings you to Main Street, but the access to park/get into the cottage is the road behind it. Still can walk down the path right to Main Street! The cottage was tiny (as expected) but clean and thoughtful. Definitely recommend for a couple looking for a quick weekend getaway!
Megan - Posted: 9/8/2024
Megan, Thank you SO much for your kind review. We have made steps to make check in easier we are so glad it was clear and understandable. Thank you again and we hope to have another opportunity to host you again. Have a great day!

Old Fashioned is a quaint little cottage! It was a great "home base" to stay at for our anniversary weekend while we visited Door County. We appreciated the ability to park at the cottage after exploring surrounding areas, and then be within walking distance to the shops, cafe's, ice cream, coffee, and restaurants in downtown Fish Creek. It's also a short walk to the marina and public park if you want to enjoy a sunset on the bay. The bed was comfy, and the bathroom clean. The kitchen is small, but not a problem with the Blue Horse Beach Cafe and Shiny Moon Cafe right down the street. Go there for coffee, grab and go (or sit down) breakfast, or lunch. I'd recommend Barringers or the Loft for fine dining. And the Fish Creek Market is also just a few steps away if you want to grab some essentials! A short drive will get you to the hiking paths of Peninsula State Park and Nicolet Beach (a great place to kayak or paddle board, even on a windy day!). We'd definitely stay again!
Darcey - Posted: 8/12/2024
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that the cottage was the perfect home base for your anniversary weekend and that you enjoyed the convenience of being close to everything in downtown Fish Creek. It sounds like you made the most of the area’s cafes, restaurants, and outdoor spots. We’d love to host you again on your next trip to Door County!

Lovely, with confusing address
I didnt get clear instructions regarding which building i was running until after i attempted to enter the incorrect building and had to call the property manager. As it turned out there were three buildings at the same address, and they were able to provided directions when they returned my call.
