The Resting Place was just perfect. House was beautifully designed and decorated. Plenty of room for 5 of us. Beds are comfy enough. The 3rd bedroom with the futon isn’t perfect for older person but would do for youngsters (30s or younger). View at the lake was awesome. The whole place was great. My mom, aunt & uncle were all impressed. We had a great time.

This place was wonderful. Set right on the water, the view was stunning & tranquil. The home was incredibly comfortable & every amenity was provided! The attention to detail with the handcrafted art that was thoughtfully placed thru out the home added layers of charm & character. Outstanding communication made our experience seam-less and stress free!

The place was exactly as described…clean, nestled in some trees with a short walk to the water. Beds were comfortable and the layout of the home is very conducive for fellowship. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a quiet resting place away from the crowds.

Our family stayed at The Resting Place for a most beautiful fall weekend, celebrating the life of our dear aunt. It was exactly what we hoped it could be, with gorgeous views and peaceful surroundings for this reflective visit. Thank you!

This is a beautiful home, nestled among the trees. Everything is new and modern. Short walk thru the yard to Lake Michigan. We enjoyed the great view, and coffee on the balcony with the morning sunrise. It was perfect for our Door County get away. Easy drive to most anywhere. Note--if you plan on cooking/baking during the stay, bring everything you need--food, mixer, measuring utensils, etc.
Mary - Posted: 10/4/2024
We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and were able to enjoy all that Door County offers, including the sunrises from the balcony! We hope you will be back!

The Resting Place was a great place to stay for our son's wedding weekend. Loved the beautiful view of Lake Michigan. The unit is in a very quiet neighborhood, and is a quick and easy drive to town. The inside was clean and well appointed. I would not hesitate to book here again.

What an absolutely beautiful rental. Could not be more perfect and coffee by Lake Michigan watching the sunrise was amazing.
Well stocked, comfortable, clean and peaceful. We really enjoyed our time. The perfect home base for Door County.

Truly a Resting Place
We were so fortunate to book this property at the last minute the week before Labor Day weekend. This is a most beautiful comfortable home with lovely decor and all the amenities we could need. Then there is the property located right on Lake Michigan with a rock filled beach (my favorite), picnic table, comfortable chairs, a chair swing and fire pit. Quiet, peaceful and simply beautiful. Thank you so much. We love Door County--hiking, being outdoors, eating great food. We hope to return to The Resting Place.
Jim - Posted: 9/2/2024

Great stay!
We had an wonderful stay at this property, which exceeded our high expectations. The property is situated right next to Lake Michigan, offering breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere. The house itself is charming, with a lovely, cozy little kitchen, a comfortable living room, and three well-appointed bedrooms. Everything was well-maintained, and all the tech, including the Wi-Fi and TV, worked flawlessly. My wife, our two children, and I felt right at home here. The location is ideal for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle but still want access to amenities when needed. It’s just a 15-minute drive to Sturgeon Bay, where we found plenty of great restaurants and shops to explore. We really appreciated the peace and tranquility of the area, combined with the convenience of being close to town. Overall, it was an excellent stay, and we would definitely return for another visit.

Relaxing stay
Nice, new, clean house with an open layout. Loved the design and decor. Lots of windows and a balcony looking out onto beautiful, wooded property, as well as a view to the lake. The house had everything we needed, in a great location. The grounds were very peaceful, natural, and quiet. Beach had great views of the shoreline and lighthouses.

Clean, Quiet Sanctuary
We enjoyed every bit of our stay here. The house was very clean, well furnished and well stocked with the amenities needed for our stay. Any concerns that we usually have staying at a rental are not a concern here. The linens are new and fresh and the pillows and beds were comfortable. All of the necessities in the bathroom were provided and were fresh and new. The kitchen was outfitted very well if you enjoy preparing your own meals. The location is in a quiet neighborhood, but the commute to many of the attractions was only 10-20 minutes depending on where we were going. We didn't need much communication with the owner, but they replied to our one question almost immediately. Would highly recommend and will definitely try to stay here again when we return in the future.

If you are looking for a secluded, peaceful, and beautiful location this is the one. The home is clean and comfortable from every aspect. The furniture and beds were remarkably comfortable and we all slept great from night one. Wi-fi was reliable. Sturgeon Bay is a few minutes away and the property is located within 45 minutes of everything you want to do in Door County. I have no concerns booking this property in the future.

How do I save a "favorite" on your website? Thank you

Answer:

M, 

You can save favorite by clicking the little heart. The hear should be in the top right corner of the first image of the unit. Once you click "favorite" you can go back to the homepage and find the same heart in the top right corner of the homepage. Click on that and a dropdown will appear where you. can compare your favorites.
