We will definitely be back!

This was the perfect place to stay for our family vacation in Door County! The location was so convenient to most of our favorite spots but nice and quiet when we needed downtime. I am a stickler for cleanliness and Luna’s Retreat did not disappoint. The beds were comfy and the family gathering areas (great room, screened porch and backyard fire pit) made it very easy to hang out. The best part? We were able to bring our two dogs! There are three full bathrooms so getting ready in the mornings was a breeze. We have always rented homes from a local Door County company (sometimes getting musty smelling places in the process) but everything about this rental home was superior. My husband wants to rent Luna’s Retreat again next year!

Fabulous 50th Wedding Anniversary

My sister and I rented this property for a big family vacation to celebrate our parents 50th Anniversary. The property was perfect for our group. The kids enjoyed the bunks, games, and backyard fire pit. The kitchen was well equipped to cook for our large group. The family room was comfortable for everyone and we enjoyed the screened in porch for each meal.

Beautiful home!

This new home is just beautiful. Everything is sparkly clean. I have never experienced a more well-stocked vrbo Home. Beds and pillows were very comfy. It has a huge screened in porch, along with a fire pit. Communication with the owners before and during our stay was prompt and responsive. It’s located about a half a mile from downtown Sister Bay. We highly recommend it!

Exceeded expectations

Everything about the rental process and our stay went great. The house was beautiful inside, well-furnished and very accommodating for our group. The house was spotless, bedrooms had extra pillows, bathrooms complete with the needed toiletries, and the kitchen/pantry stocked with needed utensils, cookware, and dishes. Wonderful great room with large windows offering nice view of a tree lined backyard. Our group had so much fun we are returning next year only this time for three nights instead of two. BTW, Caley and Mark, the owners were great to work with. Very responsive to questions, and genuinely concerned about making our trip the best. Highly recommend.

Amazing House

We really enjoyed staying at the house for my stepdaughters wedding. The house was beautiful, family friendly and so comfortable. Location was walking distance to town and beach. We loved the screened in porch with the outdoor fireplace and spent every evening relaxing out there. The Sunday after the wedding we all got together at the house for the Packers-Bears game and played games and had a fire in the fire pit area. The kitchen was beautiful too and we’ll equipped. I would stay again for absolutely sure!

Extended Family Vacation

Our family had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Caley & Mark's beautiful home. There was plenty of room for all 12 of us. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch and firepit! One day we took advantage of the air hockey, shuffle board and bag games and had a family tournament. It was really fun. We also loved being in walking distance to the lakefront, restaurants and shops. Overall it was a terrific stay!

Overall incredible stay

They definitely need a new housekeeper. Dirty fridge, glasses, plates and the silverware had food stuck to it. Coffee pot was also really gross. Used bandaids stick on the sofa and overall looked like it needs a deep clean. We washed all the dishes when we arrived and wiped it all down and vacuumed. Linens were clean so that was a saving Grace not having to do laundry upon arrival. Everything else was wonderful. Get a new housekeeper to clean and it’s a five star! Location. Size. Amenities. All great.

Great house, great location

We stayed at Luna’s Retreat with 5 couples to celebrate a birthday. The house was clean and had plenty of space for all. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities. Our only regret is that the weather wasn’t warmer, so we could enjoy the outdoor space. Everyone in the group really enjoyed their stay and we are already planning on making an annual trip to Lina’s Retreat.

Gorgeous with everything you need!

This property is absolutely gorgeous! Clean and decorated contemporary, earthy and classy. Functional layout. Plenty of room for our 8 adult family to be together, share meals and quiet time. Had my 80 year old mother along and she was comfortable and love it! Located in quiet residential area but just a couple blocks to main strip in Sister Bay! We thoroughly enjoyed cooking in the kitchen fully stocked with all essentials: gourmet cookware, bakeware and a crockpot. Plenty of flatware, plates, bowls and glassware. Pantry stocked well with sugar, flour, olive oil, seasonings and plenty of coffee for their guests! Laundry room, was huge. They provided detergent, and doggy bags in case you forgot them. We were able to put our doodles’ crate with a blanket underneath it in the laundry room so when we went to explore Door County, we were able to crate our sweet pups in a convenient, cozy area where they napped and enjoyed quiet time. Bathrooms were stocked with Shampoo, Conditioner and Shower gel. Plenty of TP. Beds were comfortable and cozy. We had so much fun ice-skating at outdoor rink two blocks away, sightseeing, and shopping at O’Mears’s Irish House in Fish Creek, On Deck and Tannenbaum in Sister Bay. We ate delicious pizza from Wild Tomato, and enjoyed a spectacular dinner at CHOP, fun Swedish breakfast at Al Johnson’s, and dinner at Sister Bay Bowl restaurant. Our family all agreed this was our best trip to DC! Thank you Michael and Caley for sharing your beautiful home with us!♥️

About the host

Hosted by Caley Swanson

We live in Madison, WI and have two kids and our mini golden-doodle, Luna. Caley teaches K-2 Music and loves doing interior design. Mark works in IT and can be found on the golf course when the snow melts!

Why they chose this property

We grew up going to Door County with our families. Now with two young boys of our own, we want to create those memories for our family (including our beloved dog) and others to enjoy. We loved the fact that this lot was quiet and wooded, and still only a five minute walk to downtown Sister Bay.
