Description Description
Welcome to The Goddess Door Family Home, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! This home is located on a quiet 5-acre piece of property on a cul-de-sac. The yard has several seating areas. The house is on the north side of Ellison Bay, close to many activities, and a good home base for exploring all the county has to offer.

This home was built by the current owner's father, who was a skilled carpenter. He handcrafted the kitchen cabinets from cherrywood and made the stained-glass windows in the three-season porch. He remodeled and maintained it with love. There are many small touches in the home that reflect the family's Door County history, such as the kitchen table that belonged to the owner's grandparents where many family memories were made. You will also find art from local artists, and touches of The Clearing Folk School throughout the house. The Clearing Folk School is adjacent to this property.

Cozy, quiet, and perfectly tucked away — yet still close to Sister Bay and the Washington Island ferry. A wonderful spot to relax and recharge!

Perfect setup for a couples vacation. My wife likes having a fairly large kitchen when we stay somewhere for a week. She was pleased. The location is private. Close proximity to all-things-Door County. Clean, easily accessible. I recommend this property.

Loved the peacefulness and dark skies for star gazing.
The kitchen is spacious with beautiful oak cabinets. The home is situated on 5 acres with open spaces for star gazing, hemmed in by trees. It took a little time to get used to the fuel odor from the stand alone stoves. I reached out to the property owners who reassured me at the beginning of the heating season this can occur. Also there were not 3 bedrooms although there was a daybed in a walk-through alcove. There are two enclosed bedrooms.

The house was comfortable and had all the necessary amenities, but the price felt high. Additionally, there is only one shower, which might be inconvenient for larger groups.

Very beautiful kitchen
The house was very nice we loved the kitchen. When we reached out the response was very fast. It’s in a very good location to get to sister bay or ride the ferry to Washington island. Lots a places to hike near by. The only thing I have an issue with was the third bed room being open to the hallway and the living room with out reading all of the property details I did not catch that at first but it still was a great place to stay and would stay again if in the area. Thank you for letting us stay! We had a great time!

Very clean and well stocked, except for no gas in the outdoor grill. Broiled steaks instead, which were delicious.

We enjoyed staying here for the long MDW weekend! The house is beautiful and spacious and the perfect location relative to most of what Door County has to offer. We enjoyed this property and spending our time in Door County. Our only suggestion would be to have another TV in the primary bedroom; we enjoy winding our nights with a TV show. We would definitely consider coming back to this property with a larger group next time.

Our family get away
The property was beautiful and well maintained. Watching deer come and go. Everything inside was clean, we loved the woodwork and kitchen. Couple things i would change, make at least one of the toilets' a high rise, smaller bedroom could definitely use a new mattress and maybe some new bedding throughout including pillows. would be nice if the kitchen had a Keurig. We enjoyed our stay and all wished it could have been longer.

Quiet and private
The property the house sits on is beautiful and natural with old growth trees and 5 acres of lovelyDoor County land. It is on a quiet dead end road. The house itself is adequate tho quirky with one bathroom off the kitchen far from the bedrooms and the other in the larger bedroom. It was great to have the window air conditioning unit in the living room which helped to cool the bedrooms as well. Air conditioning is unusual in older homes in door County. The freezer ice machine did not work and there was no container to freeze ice cubes so that was disappointing. Overall the location was convenient to Ellison Bay, Gills Rock and Sister Bay. We enjoyed dinner at the Boathouse overlooking the Marina in Sister Bay and stopped frequently at Kick Ash coffeehouse in Ellison Bay for a coffee.

Great Cabin, Great Location!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We've been coming to Door County for many years, and this is by far our favorite property. The location is ideal, and very quiet and private. We are a family of 6, and we really enjoyed the large outdoor space. The fire pit is lovely, and the kitchen was perfect. We also really liked the small aesthetic touches like the stained glass windows. We really couldn't have had a lovlier stay, and are looking forward to booking this property again next year. Thank you!

We enjoyed staying in a neighborhood a little off the beaten path yet minutes from downtown Sister Bay. The property offers privacy, the home is super clean and offers plenty of space for a family to relax and share meals.

My parents, sister, and I used this house a home base during a highly-scheduled extended family weekend. All the events were in Ephraim and Sister Bay. I was pleased with how quickly the drive from Ellison Bay to Ephraim went. Much shorter than I expected. The property was a great place to rest and recoup from our scheduled events. I really appreciated the quiet of the property, and the beautiful lawn and grounds. I was disappointed we did not have time to have a campfire as there is a beautiful fire pit area. There was even wood laid out for us, which was so appreciated. This was my first time using an Air BnB, and the process was pretty smooth. The kitchen is very large, the outdoor grill works great, we used the Air Conditioner the first day, and that was very effective. The TV/Internet works great. Very nice place, and I'd like to visit again sometime. Thank you for having us!

The house is located in a very quiet area, close to Newport State Park. We had hoped to get in some stargazing during our stay, but unfortunately the weather did not cooperate. Nevertheless, we had a great time hiking in the park and exploring the north end of Door County. Ellison Bluff State Natural Area was well worth the visit, as was Death's Door Maritime Museum. We also made it down to Peninsula State Park for a bit of hiking and lounging by the lakeside on a warm, breezy day. The interior of this house is amazing, and the owners anticipated everything we could have needed. All in all, it was a fine vacation!

Loved Our Stay!
Brought our teenage grandchildren with us. We all enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The home is very comfortable and outside surroundings beautiful! We played card games at the kitchen table and made our meals in the very spacious and beautiful kitchen. Sleeping arrangements are perfect and we all slept great. On this trip we went to: Charlie’s Smokehouse and the shops at Gills Rock, Kick Ash Coffee in Ellison Bay, Door County Creamery and go-karts at Johnsons Park in Sister Bay, Skyway Drive-in Theater in Fish Creek and Cave Point County Park in Sturgeon Bay. We will be back!
