We took a mini girl's weekend vacation, we wanted to stay where everything was in walking distance, each have our own bed, 2 showers, shop, relax, good food, clean and comfortable. From the moment we arrived we knew we picked the right spot. the house was clean, spacious and convenient. We enjoyed sitting on the patio relaxing having coffee in the morning, people watching and just talking, it was our go to spot. Shopping and eating were a short walk away, yet we were out of the busy part, so it was not noisy. Bailey's Harbor and Sister Bay were a very short drive away. Saturday, we enjoyed relaxing in the swimming pool for a few hours to get out of the heat, met some neighbors. Was great having laundry to wash our clothes before we left. We will for sure be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Plenty of restaurants nearby. The owner said it was on a busy road, and that’s true, but we were not bothered by that. Very clean and up-to-date. We would stay there again. Conveniently located near Peninsula Park and walking/biking trails.

The location was great, adjacent to peninsula state park and walkable to Fish Creek restaurants. Unfortunately, the place was underwhelming. There were stains on the carpet, the fridge was falling apart, the toilet paper holder was coming off the wall and the mattresses were uncomfortable. Also, the pool was closed despite the near 80 degree weather. Kids were not happy.
Lisa - Posted: 9/15/2025

The location is great. It’s a two minute walk to several trails at Peninsula State Park. It’s an easy walk to downtown Fish Creek as well. The unit was clean and had everything we needed. Would recommend staying here if you’re visiting Door County!

The pullout in the living room was a single, not a two-person bed. The supplies were sparse. Location was great and easy to walk to restaurants and shops.

Almost perfect
The cottage, its location, and our stay were outstanding. The communication was lousy-no response three separate occasions, which was disappointing and frustrating. We dinged the cleanliness score, also, because the carpets/rugs were FILTHY. The management can correct these issues if they care enough.
Anonymous - Posted: 6/8/2024
Thank you so much for your feedback, Cindy. We take everything you wrote very seriously and will ensure improvements are made. Our support team was happy to stay in touch during your stay. We’d love an opportunity to host you again to show you how responsive we are to ensuring a five star stay.
