We had a good stay overall, but there are a few things worth noting. The space itself was roomy, and having two showers for our group of eight was very convenient. The beds were also comfortable, which we appreciated. The location was great and we loved how close we were to everything!
That said, the cleanliness could have been better. We noticed dried urine on the side of the toilet and that the area around the shower, including the tile floor, looked like it hadn’t been wiped down in quite some time. The shower curtain in the second bath could also use an upgrade. It had visible stains and possible mildew on the inner shower liner. The place also had a musty smell upon arrival. Towels were limited (only one per person), and when we tried to wash a few, the washing machine didn’t seem to spin them out properly, so everything came out soaked and took several cycles to dry.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you found the space roomy, beds comfortable, and location convenient. We sincerely apologize for the cleanliness issues and any inconvenience they caused. Your comments are very helpful as we work to improve the property for future guests.

Great space for gathering. Super location. Everything was comfortable. There could be a bit more attention to maintenance (broken kitchen drawer, broken coffee carafe, dusty ceiling fans). It was a little thin on dishware and glassware. Would have been nice to have an extra hour for either earlier check-in or later check-out without an extra fee. However, would stay here again!

Hello Nancy, Thank you for your review! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the space, location, and comfort, and we truly appreciate your feedback on the maintenance items and kitchen supplies. We’ll be sure to address these details to make future stays even better. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again soon! Warm regards, The Simple Life Rentals Team

Everything was fine and as promised. Simple Life people are and were very responsive. The only thing I would say is the place is slightly overpriced, UNLESS you have the full allotment of 8 people and use all 4 beds in the loft. For anything less that the 8 count, $1800 is too much, but part of that is on us for not picking a cheaper place.

It was a lovely neighborhood. The shower in the bathroom with the tub does not work. There was no way of turning the shower on. We needed that extra shower for 4 adults.tables on the deck were all dirty. We had four adult women and you could have provided a few extra rolls of toilet paper for the amount you charge to rent this house. Master king bed is SUPER squeaky !!

Helen J. - Posted: 9/1/2025

Thank you for your review! We’re happy you loved the neighborhood, but we’re very sorry about the issues you encountered, definitely not the experience we want for our guests. We appreciate your feedback and will make improvements for the next stay!

what a nice house. we were 6 women, and there was plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the space. i don’t know if this is a new rental company, but i think they’ll get the house stocked eventually. we didn’t need a grill this time, but in the summer, a grill would be nice. we did see a fire pit, which could also be lovely in the summer. we’ll try this house again. great location.

Glenna - Posted: 6/5/2025

Thanks for the helpful feedback and for highlighting the spacious layout and great location. We're actively working on stocking the home more fully, and your note about the grill and fire pit is much appreciated. We're looking forward to hosting you again in the future!

Jason - Posted: 11/16/2024

This was our third consecutive year staying at this wonderful house in Fish Creek. Aside from being super clean and well-stocked, the location is perfect for our annual relay run, The Fall 50. We will be back again in 2025!

Shannon - Posted: 10/27/2024

Shannon,
Thank you so much for your kind review. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope we have the pleasure of hosting you again for the fourth time! :)

Simple Life Rentals staff

Overall very nice. Our 2nd time staying here. All appliances worked fine, no breakdowns. Things to improve upon are a couple more frying pans would have been nice. The shower curtain in the main needs replacing badly. Unfortunate we could not use the fire pit, fireplace, or have a grill to cook on. We really love the place and we will be back

Paul - Posted: 10/25/2024

Thank you for your feedback! We sincerely appreciate you taking the time. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again!

It was as it was described. The beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms were very clean and so was the kitchen. Be sure to bring your own coffee. ;)

We had a great stay! The house was just as described, clean, and very close to downtown Fish Creek.

Rose - Posted: 8/18/2024

Thank you so much for the wonderful review of our home! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great stay and look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.

Place was decent, clean but frankly overpriced. The yard had a foul smell of sewer which was off putting. Also if you are going to be charging cleaning fees, don’t ask the guest to strip all the bedding and take out recycle and garbage. WiFi password did not work. It turned out the password was all lowercase but that’s not what was listed. Location is fine but not walkable to town if that is what you are looking for.

N S. - Posted: 8/14/2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you found the home clean and in a great location. We appreciate you sharing your concerns about the yard so we can have it looked into. Thank you also for confirming your care in following the check-out instructions. We certainly don’t want to create unnecessary stress after what we hope was a wonderful stay. We hope to have an opportunity to host you again and ensure a 5 star experience!

Simple Life Rentals staff

This is a nice quiet location but close enough to Fish Creek to walk into town or up to the Top of the Hill Shops. Not a far walk to FICA for coffee either. Lots of room for 7 people even with 3 of them over 6 feet tall! Nice deck with partial sun throughout the day. Would have been nice to have a grill and a few more glasses. Truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it for friends and/or families.

Marcia - Posted: 8/9/2024

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the quiet location and the spaciousness of the property, (even with your group of taller individuals). Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future!

We had a nice stay at this house. It was clean and a well managed property.

Great location!! Clean comfortable home! Had puzzles and some games as well!

Kate - Posted: 4/21/2024

Thank you, Kate! Come back and stay soon, we loved having you!

Simple Life Rentals staff

This is the second year our group has stayed at this lovely house. It’s the perfect location for our team to prepare for and run the annual Door County Fall 50. The location is a short walk to Fish Creek, but still off the beaten path to be peaceful. Without hesitation, we will be back next October.
I also think the loft with four single beds comes in quite handy if you have several single adults or children.

Shannon - Posted: 10/22/2023

Thank you, Shannon, for your kind feedback to us! It is our pleasure hosting you, and hope we have the opportunity to do so for your next trip!

Great location, centrally located, close to Peninsula State Park and lots of stuff. Glad everything we needed, clean, comfortable, spacious, bright. The wooded lot gave a sense of privacy even though it was near things. Very nice. Thanks much!

Albert - Posted: 8/18/2023

Thank you for your kind feedback, Albert! We appreciate this so much. Glad to hear you had wonderful stay and experience. Hope we may host you again sometime!

The house was in a great location, close to the downtown while still feeling private. There was extensive road construction on the private road during my stay that I wish I knew about before arrival as it could have damaged my car. Overall, great experience

Clare - Posted: 8/13/2023

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, Clare. We are glad that you had a great overall stay and hope we can host you again sometime!

Great cabin walking distance to downtown Fish Creek, and right in the center of Door County. A bit pricey, but we're glad we stayed here!

Anna - Posted: 8/6/2023

We appreciate your feedback, Anna! Thank you. So glad you enjoyed your stay!

Simple Life Rentals staff

The property is lovely, nice 2 bedroom, 2 bath A-frame in a good location located just a short distance from downtown Fish Creek. The house was very clean. There is a nice deck out front but unfortunately no chairs to sit in. There was no iron. Both bathroom pump hand soaps were empty when we arrived. We had to look for hand towels and finally found them in the dryer. It is a nice house and location but some added details would significantly improve the experience.

Thank you, Deidre, for sharing your feedback with us. We take reviews seriously and ensure improvements are made accordingly. We are glad that you enjoyed the home overall!

Thank you, Shreeya! So happy to hear you had a great stay.

Simple Life Rentals staff

The location was excellent. We were a little disappointed that the email communications specified there was an iron/ironing board and beach towels, but this was apparently incorrect communication, which they stated they would rectify. There were 2 beds without any sheets at check-in, so that required some communications back and forth.

Brenda - Posted: 7/5/2023

Hi Brenda, it was our pleasure to help remedy those items for you right away. We are glad that you enjoyed the home and location and hope we have a chance to host you in the future and ensure a 5 star stay experience.

Simple Life Rentals staff

The balcony and stairs were built very safe for our 4 year old. The toys, books and games provided kept him entertained for hours. The A/C and WIFI worked perfect! I'd bring my own pillow next time. The pillows were fine but crunchy. Beds were comfy! Perfect home for our weekend getaway with 2 grandparents, parents, 4 yr old and infant. My grandson left his favorite toys in the balcony cupboard and I hope we can get them back.

Julie W. - Posted: 7/3/2023

Hi Julie, our cleaning team is looking into those items. We are so glad you all enjoyed your stay and had a good time at the cabin! We hope to have a chance to host you again sometime.

Simple Life Rentals staff

The location was absolutely amazing for doing all we wanted to do in Door County!! The place was as described, and they were super timely in responding to any communication! Beds were comfy.

Everything met our expectations from what we read. Very clean and new compared to comparable 5 star VRBO experiences which sometimes are outdated or have "rustic charm". This was high quality and modern. I'm tech guy and WiFi was top rate for streaming our shows. Living room was more impressive than photos. Dishwasher wasn't emptied on arrival though so if you think they may be short on dishware like we wondered initially, check there. More than enough dish and cookware for the space. As a couple we are sensitive to sleep with bed comfort, outside noise and light when we travel. None of those were and issue and we happily had good night's sleep in the kind bed in master bedroom. Bed was comfortable and we weren't bothered by morning sun and there was no noise at all as it is a quiet street. This couple from Chicago enjoyed our stay. We even walked in and out of town one evening for dinner but it felt just a little bit far for us -- and we often like to walk to dinner back home. But no problem if you don't want to worry about parking or driving after drinking and don't mind the walk. It is not safe to walk to The English Inn and Alexander's as there is no sidewalk, so we drove there. Very short and easy drive. We were careful and used high-beams in evenings as one afternoon deer ran across the road just in front of our car scaring us. So be careful and mindful even if driving under the speed limit as we were. We caught the very end of October fall leaves season mid week when things weren't as busy as we like to avoid crowds and it feels like the area is really busy on weekends. There were a couple trees still shedding pretty yellow fall leaves in the main windows we enjoyed along with the evergreens. We never noticed the neighbors and trees between properties help with that. I'm sure they wanted quiet as much as we did.

We are so happy you enjoyed the home and surrounding area! Thanks, Jason. Hope we can host you again!

Simple Life Rentals staff

This was a wonderful stay for us, and what a great location! It's on a quiet residential road well away from the highway. Our almost-2-year-old doesn't stay out of the street on his own, so that was important to us. It's only a 2-minute drive to Fish Creek shops and restaurants (you could walk if you don't mind a short hike). The house itself is very open on the main floor, two separate guest rooms and a loft with 4 twin beds for kids. It worked great for my wife and me with our little guy. Very homey and a great home base for exploring up to Sister Bay and down to Egg Harbor. Peninsula State Park is extremely close. Good spot!

Mark - Posted: 10/30/2022

Thank you, Mark, for all your kind words! We are so happy hearing you and your family had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the location! It was our pleasure to host you and hope we have the opportunity to do so in the future.

Simple Life Rentals staff

We had quite an enjoyable weekend. The cottage was extremely clean and well-stocked. Also, having four single beds in the loft is a definite bonus. We will not hesitate to stay here again.

Shannon - Posted: 10/23/2022

Thank you, Shannon, for your kind feedback to us! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the cottage and we look forward to having a chance to host you again!
