About the host

Hosted by Sarah Rose

Host profile image
Our Door County story began as young children when we would both take the scenic drive up Highway 42 from Green Bay with our families to camp, hike, bike, kayak, and explore the peninsula.

After meeting in 2010, we found out we not only shared a passion for food, travel, and adventure; but also Door County. After several years of vacationing together on the peninsula we make our dream a reality and purchased Modern Dörr Cottage. The name pays homage to Door County's Scandinavian influence and our love for Scandinavian modern design.

We are so happy to host you and share our love for Door County <3
