Sister Bay reunion

House was charming and good location to all of the local activities and waking distance to everything we needed. A little close to the road (road noise), but not the end of the world. Our friends and family had a great time!

Cute, clean & convenient home in Sister Bay

The house was perfect for our little weekend getaway, conveniently located in walking distance to restaurants and shops in Sister Bay. The house was clean and updated and so comfortable for our family. The backyard was a great size for our son to run around and play soccer while the adults enjoyed a nice cold beverage on the patio. We’ll definitely stay here again next time we’re in Door County.

Liked staying in town without being downtown

Enjoyed the quiet and privacy of this home. Close enought to downtown to walk to for coffee and shopping without being right in the mix of things downtown. Nice fenced backyard to throw a ball for our dog. Nice deck and fire pit, great lighting of the backyrad. Enjoyed the open flow of the house. Comfortable beds had everything we needed.

Had some communication bumps at first but once it was worked out all was good. I would make a recommendation to remove the toy snakes from the toy box. Just saying. The house was great and met our needs very well

Strong Animal Odor

During our recent family stay at a Vrbo rental, we encountered an issue with a noticeable animal urine odor. While the property itself had some positive aspects, such as its location and amenities, the strong smell was a significant drawback. We found it challenging to fully enjoy our stay due to this unpleasant experience. We kindly suggest that the property owner takes immediate action to address this matter, as it greatly affected our overall satisfaction with the rental. We hope this feedback will assist future guests in making their rental choices.

Pros and cons

The layout of the house was great, as was the location. We also enjoyed the fenced in backyard. The house is not well maintained. The toilet paper holder was torn off the wall in one of the bathrooms. The wall had not been repaired. A roof leak occurred at some point. The ceiling had not been properly fixed. The house had a very unpleasant, musty smell as soon as you walked in the door. There is a water issue somewhere that has not been resolved. We paid $4,000 for 3 nights. I expected more.
