Great location right on the water! Really enjoyed having a fire pit and being able to wade right into the lake.
In addition to the 3 portable fans mentioned in the description, we were pleasantly surprised that all 3 bedrooms also had ceiling fans. With highs of 80 and lows at night if 65 the weekend we were there, felt pretty comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay at this quiet and comfortable house. The sound of the water lapping at the shore added to the peacefulness of the experience. The house was clean and offered a comfortable place to relax indoors

Quiet,peaceful, private location
Owners provided full details by email the week before our stay. The home was clean and all the amenities were provided for pleasant lake house stay. The WiFi and satellite TV was easy and straightforward to access. The Lake Michigan side of Door County is less busy and the best area to unwind and relax.

Very quiet. We absolutely loved it. The stars both nights were both of my daughter’s and my wife’s favorite part. You could see the Milky Way! Countless shooting stars!

We stayed here on a spontaneous visit to DC with our 4 girls: a baby and 3 elementary aged kiddos, plus our Bernese Mountain Dog. We brought our own Pack N Play (we didn’t take the time to ask if one was available), and we had the perfect amount of space. The kitchen was well stocked; we only cooked one meal during our 2-night stay. Even without AC, we were comfortable with the windows open and the fans on. Our girls loved picking raspberries in the yard and playing on the beach. We did not swim, since it was a rocky shore, but we had fun skipping stones and looking for treasures. It was a quiet, peaceful area, and we didn’t see or hear from anyone. We loved the proximity to Sister Bay and were grateful this spot was open for a last minute visit!

A Relaxing Weekend
We really enjoyed the views from this location. It was very quiet and peaceful and private. When we arrived a Bald Eagle soared above us. We skipped rocks, and swam, and fished. We had bonfires, and laughed, and listened to music. The drive to Sister Bay is less than 10 minutes, and a straight shot, making it super easy to visit the beach, shops, and restaurants. The "cabin" has been updated and is nice. There is no air conditioning, but the breeze from the lake makes sleeping just fine. We would stay at this location again.

We had a lovely stay at this property. The house was cute and the hosts were very responsive. We enjoyed sitting out on the porch and drinking coffee over the lake's sunrise each morning. Sister Bay was very close and a convenient location for dinner or a little shopping. There is also a small beach area and playground that my 5-year old loved. Door county is a special place and we will definitely consider this property again in any future visits.

This is a beautiful little lake house! Perfect for the two of us. I loved being able to sit on the deck or in the living room and watch and listen to the lake. The house, although in “Sister Bay”, is on the lakeside, not the bayside, but it’s a super fast, straight drive to downtown Sister Bay and the bayside.
We also got to meet a couple of cute neighbor dogs (I’m lookin’ at you Buddy and Heidi). I do not know if they were residents or visitors, but both were very sweet! Just be aware of off-leash nearby dogs.
A previous review mentioned bugs. Yes…? It’s a lake house in wooded Wisconsin. We stayed for 6 nights/7 days and I ended up with about 3 mosquito bites (so almost none). There were tons of mayflies, but they’re totally harmless and we couldn’t have cared less! Never saw a tick.
Would 100% stay again!

Beautiful property. We stayed here for a Mother’s Day weekend and it is in a great location and the property on the lake is gorgeous. Worth noting that 50% of the time the outside was too buggy to be out there for more than a minute- this was late May. The property management was great and super responsive. Would suggest some proactive treatment for the bugs outside. That said, still felt like a 5-star property.
