8 Miles Of Sand Beach To Explore ~ Outstanding Sunset Views Over The Lake!

Peter and his group were exceptional guests and agreed to help install our updated internet. Four room additions have made this into a VRBO purpose-built rental location. We have been constantly updating as often as we can between guest visits.

Thank you for your kind description. Our 2003 addition was made to enlarge spaces and make all spaces more user friendly for children. Over the last 33 years many of those children have returned as adults. Our hours of cleaning over the years is our contribution to making the world better. Our hope is that these visiting children provide positive opportunities for their future children.

Thanks for your recommendation. Thousands of kids and parents have had unique fun on the beach over the last three decades. It takes us almost all of the winter to recover. It is a lot easier not to share but then, where would you go?

Unfortunately Riley came during “lake bug week” when our lake bugs hatch. We never know when that will be so we can’t warn our guests. All the four toilets were replaced one year ago with the higher wider design. We try and make the house look more like a beach house and less like a sterile hotel. Children leave painted rocks and other “surprises” for later children. Outside beach toys, shovels, beach umbrellas, chairs and tables are not used by everyone but must be there for families. The house has been “lived in” by thousands of happy guests over then last 34 years. We can only paint the outside between when it is warm enough in the Spring and between early guests. That time (this year) was after their stay. Other issues have been addressed. Only 5% of Door County’s coastline is sand beach. Our sand beach is the best, and this house was designed for that view. We wash all the windows as often as we can. We also rent out The Cedar Beach House in Baileys Harbor (same size, also on the lake) which provides a more formal inside atmosphere. Thank you for your review. You may have helped us improve the property for other guests.

Thank you Kathleen. We are glad you had a good time. Mary and Ray

The four house additions have been cleverly designed for great views and comfort. Thanks for the review.

Appreciative guests make all of our efforts worthwhile.

Dogs are free but require extra work. We do anything to make our friend's stay more enjoyable.

Our guests are the best people we meet.

Thank you John. None of the 2023 dates worked for you?

Thank you for your positive review!

What was not so clean?

Not many people with houses like this one let other people in them. My wife loves to share and I am only happy if I am busy making everything better.

Ray and I are so glad you all enjoyed your visit.

Thank you Audrey. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay.

Thank you for the advice. We have been thinking of replacing them.

Our greatest fear is that the next two generations of our family will change their commitment to keep renting out our two properties. It would be sad to end this sharing arrangement.

Thank you for your review Joel. I hope you come back. Mary and Ray

Thanks. This will be 35 years of providing the best beach in Door County.

You are always welcome but we get booked up very early--24 months in advance sometimes.

The cottage has been expanded four times to accommodate more kids and loving parents.
