Highland Haven

Relax and retreat at Highland Haven, a clean, new construction house tucked away in a quiet neighborhood yet within walking distance of downtown Sister Bay. This large 2,400 sq ft home hosted by Simple Life Rentals, offers both luxury and convenience, and is equally comfortable whether having a quiet getaway or bringing a larger group of family and friends. A short drive puts you in the middle of everything that Sister Bay has to offer. Or, avoid the traffic and parking, and enjoy the 3/4 mile walk to Sister Bay's shops, restaurants, and public beach. Want to get away with the family, but can't quite leave the office behind? The basement has a quiet remote workspace. Check your email, then unplug and join your family and friends on your Door County adventure!

*This property is located in a quiet community with neighbors and is geared towards quiet family vacations. Due to the proximity of neighbors, we cannot accommodate bachelor or bachelorette parties, reunions, or other rowdy gatherings and you will be asked to leave without refund.

This property is equipped with a ring camera as well as a decibel monitoring sensor located inside of the home. Please do not remove or tamper with the devices.
