Nice little cottage

Nice little cottage that still comfortably fit 7 adults. Overall was clean. Lots of little flies inside but we were aware of this beforehand and wasn't an issue. Beautiful views and a nice outdoor space. Perfect place for an outdoor adventurer to stay. Property provides all the basics. Host is very communicative.

Beautiful View, Okay House

The house is right on Green Bay, with fun kayaks and other things to take out. The drive into Sturgeon Bay is long, so travelers should take that into account if selecting this property. The house itself was lacking. Two bedroom doors did not latch. There were no bedside tables in one bedroom, nor any bedside lamps. The largest bed was uncomfortable. Blackout curtains were incorrectly sized and did not darken the rooms. (We brought our own and hung them over and around the curtains.) Something is odd with the plumbing. Cold water gets warm (even hot) before getting cold. We had to run the water for 30 seconds before it was cold.

Relaxing Getaway

We loved the property and being on the water. The house was perfect for us to spend the day exploring and come back and relax outside. The property had its quirks but it was clean and was exactly what we needed. Overall it was a good experience and a good value.

Great Location and amenities!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. It was a beautiful location on the bay and the activities shed was a great addition. Emily was very easy to communicate with and even accommodated an extra hour extension which we greatly appreciated. I would say with the cleaning fee being so high, I expected the location to be a bit cleaner and updated than what it was.

Not for romance or value.

We were shocked that we were charged 200 in " cleaning fees" is outrageous. Smelled of dog and place was covered on outside with cob webs dead bugs etc. Floor in bathroom had piece of floor missing almost cut toe had to wear socks all the time. I could go on but the most outrageous part of the whole mess was we were expected to clean grill if used, provide own wood for fire pit, buy gas for grill if used, take trash out etc.basically every thing but clean floors bathroom. Will never ever do buisness with these folks. It seems all the care about is making $ and not giving a care about hospitality or providing a stress free enjoyable time. Forgot to mention as soon as we showed up the idiot neighbor decided to mow lawn in the rain. If you are looking for a stress free clean professionally maintained place to stay do stay here unless you love to pay an outrageous amount of money to clean a place. Not shat i wanted Or expected. To owner, you may want a pro to remodel next time it was obvious many things were done by amateurs.

Tranquil lakeside cabin

We found this gem on the water and had 3 couples staying just for one night. The place was everything we needed and oh my, the views! Plenty of adventure activities available like kayaks, bikes and inside stuff like board games and cards. We brought our own firewood (recommend) and had a great relaxing evening around the fire.

Perfect Winter Weekend!

My friends and I booked a short weekend stay at this cabin - there were plenty of bedrooms for all 6 of us and the common space was perfect for playing tabletop games and hanging out. We shared lots of laughs and good food :) check-in/check-out instructions were very clear and easy to follow! We especially loved the bonfire pit and how the lake was in our backyard. It was such a cozy weekend for us!

Great place for family and friend get-together

We have been staying here for three years. It has been a great place to meet friends and family that we don’t see regularly. With it right on the water and stocked with kayaks and other water toys, all we have to do is invite the friends and family. Plenty to entertain our guests with right there. Some stayed for the day and some stayed for a night or two. Great way to visit - sitting in a kayak or on the edge of the water talking. House is super clean and well-stocked. Moreover, it is decorated so cute and airy without carpet or a lot of clutter. So easy for us to wipe things down and sweep floor after people in and out on the water all day. Number of beds is maximized with the cute bunk bed room and even futon in living room. Emily is so responsive and friendly. We have stayed at other places in other parts of the country, and she is our favorite host!

Door county vacation

My family of six stayed here comfortably! One bathroom but aware of that! Was warned about lake flies & there were! But enjoyed being on the water & having backyard fires & enjoying the beautiful view! The bikes & kayaks were super fun & going to snake island! Bring your water shoes-lots of shells & they are sharp! Our dog came along & had an amazing time also! Good location outside of town but short drive to town! Overall would recommend & would love to stay again when coming to Sturgeon Bay Area!

Perfect spot for enjoying beautiful water views, and sunsets with my adult kids. Place was very comfortable for preparing a large dinner. We enjoyed the large outdoor porch and the fire pit as well as the kayaks. Very nice to be able to bring my dog. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed more than most places.

Adventure cabin

We did have a nice vacation, however, we were extremely disappointed that the dock was not out. My husband wanted to fish so we had to find other spots. That was part of the reason we wanted to stay at the house. We can also tell the house is in desperate need of repair. The floor is uneven and the ceiling is sagging really bad. I feel the cost was way to expensive without the dock and with the house in the shape it is.

Wonderful Stay

We had such a wonderful experience staying at this cute little cottage! Our family of 5 enjoyed the stay comfortably, with views of the lake right in our backyard, and access to all outdoor equipment to make our mini-getaway fun, such as bikes, snow gear, etc. The host Emily was such a wonderful host. She was pleasant to work with, and prompt on addressing any questions we had. Our home away from home was fully stocked with everything we needed. We would definitely come back to stay in this cottage or at any of the other properties during the summer. Our girls for sure made wonderful memories here at Sturgeon Bay!
