Hello Shantanu,
Thank you so much for your review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the property and had fun with the fire pit. We’d love to host you again!
Warm regards,
The Simple Life Rentals Team
Our stay was wonderful! The home was very accommodating and roomy with our 2 dogs. It was very cozy with the fireplace which we used day and night. We were able to get wood for the fireplace easily. The location was centrally located between Sturgeon Bay and Egg Harbor. The property had everything needed for cooking in the kitchen with being able to walk the dogs out on the property and over to the bay.

Thank you! It was our pleasure to host you, and we are so happy you and your family had a great stay!
Beautiful property, stayed here comfortably with 4 adults and 2 young kids. The boys loved walking down to the lake which was very nearby (just have to cross the main road). Would definitely come back for another stay.

Thank you, Michael! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and the property! We hope to host you all again sometime.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Three Little Birds. The cottage was absolutely beautiful. The amenities were fantastic even for our dog. We loved how tastefully decorated the cottage was, and how they left instructions/stickers on how to use everything. We felt at home, and we cannot wait to return to this cottage. Thank you!

This was our third stay and are looking forward to our next. Clean and well thought out property. It is obvious that the owners care about this property and the people that stay. So many nice touches like providing fire starters, detergents, etc. just a pleasant place to stay.

Thank you, Donald! We love hosting you and are so grateful to hear you had another wonderful stay.
I booked this spot to surprise my partner with her friends for her birthday and it beat my expectations by a mile. Great for entertaining and relaxing. Incredibly clean, great view of the lake for only a short walk and within 15 minutes of shopping and downtown activities. Would definitely stay here again.
