Great for work meetings

This VRBO was great. It's in a great location and easy to get to Sister Bay and Egg Harbor. The owner recommended great activities and good restaurants since I was not familiar with the area.

Great location and very good service. The main house was very clean. One downside would be that the beds in the main house were uncomfortable. The bunk house was exceptional. Felt like a hotel stay in each of the rooms. Another downside is that there should be better lighting around the bunk house after sundown. Overall, we would definitely book again and recommend this place highly!

great spot for visit to Door County

Chatham Hills was a great setting for our large family gathering. The location, the bunkhouse, multiple gatherings spots, fire pit, Adventure Shed and private suites were enjoyed by all. The management was quick to respond to any questions or issues that came up during our stay. We enjoyed our week at Chatham Hills!

A perfect venue for a family gathering.

The main house was great as a gathering place for family activities. The Adventure Shed was a hit with the young adults. We could hike,bike,kayak, eat and shop because of our wonderful location right in the middle of action. We had a great time.

Great for a family reunion

This was a great stay for a family reunion - everyone from my 90 year old mom to her 8 week old great-granddaughter had a wonderful time. So nice to have enough rooms that all the couples could have their own space. We loved the hot tub, and spent many hours in conversation gathered around the fire ring. We could not have asked for a better spot to gather with our loving family.

Great stay for a large group

This was a great trip. We had 19 people total and there was plenty of room for everyone. The hot tub was a great thing to have considering the weather was a bit cold when we went. Everyone had an amazing time. This is the second time we booked this location and we plan on doing so again.

Wonderful Getaway Weekend

The main house, bunkhouse and all of the amenities were wonderful. We couldn't have asked for better accommodations. The house and bunkhouse were both well-appointed and very clean. It was too cold to take advantage of all that the Adventure hut offered, but we hope to do so next year.

An amazing time

For 22 years our multi-generational family has gathered together on one property to enjoy time together and this year was superb. The main house was large and open-spaced enough to accommodate this gathering of 18. The kitchen was stocked very well with all the eating and cooking utensils one could ask for. The bedrooms felt very inviting and not one complaint about a bad sleep. We enjoyed early morning walks around the village and on a few of the back roads. We did indulge with a meal at Wilson's and a fish boil at the Old Post Office, in addition to visiting Cherry Orchards, Peninsula State Park, Cana Island Lighthouse, neighboring towns, and Washington Island. Thanks for an amazing adventure in Door County. P.S. The younger set did comment that this was a great house for playing sardines, just in case anyone inquires. :)

Family Reunion - 5 generations, something for everyone

This is a unique property for large group gatherings. The house and individual hotel-style rooms provided a good mix of gathering space with private downtime. The adventure shed and outdoor space provide lots of variety. Quick walk or bike ride to Anderson Dock and Wilson's Ice cream. Access to Land Trust trails provide nice light hike. Overall a great property with something for everyone. Some small cautions -- the road is very busy and there was no deadbolt on the doors. Watch small children very carefully if they are prone to open doors and try to sneak out. While the property has been remodeled and was clean, it is as older building and has its quirks.

Couples' weekend

We had a group of nine couples that stayed for the weekend. The place was perfect for our weekend as each couple had a private bathroom and bedroom. The kitchen area was large enough for all of us to be together for meals. We enjoyed the firepit and hot tub. There were plenty of lawn chairs for our group to enjoy the outside fire. We hope to come back next year.

Lovely family reunion

Plenty of room to congregate and also have some of your own space, great for the kids to run around and play, close to everything we wanted to do! Everything well stocked…especially appreciated the extra fridge in the lower level, and the laundry room with extra coffee! Lovely stay…would certainly come again!

Great place with plenty of space

Such a great layout. There are essentially 8 private en-suite bedrooms with their own private bathrooms in a separate building immediately adjacent to the main house. The main house had additional bedrooms, a nice kitchen, a table that sat all 14 people in our group with some room to spare. The backyard has a huge fire pit with 12+ large Adirondack chairs and plenty of spaces for yard games, even a playset for kids.
