The property was beautiful, relaxing, and was a perfect location in the country. Tracie was very responsive to emails/texts and everything we needed was readily available, from towels to dishes and pots and pans. It’s a great spot for a mom/daughter weekend or a larger group getaway. I’d definitely put this place as one of my favorites so far.

Beautiful home & so comfortable and clean!! Great communication with Tracie & she was very welcoming. Back yard was so peaceful & beautiful. Watching horses in an open field next to the property were an added bonus. At night the stars felt like a blanket, so stunning & bright. Perfect location to relax & enjoy family.

We stayed here for a long anticipated fishing trip for Chinook “King” Salmon. The accommodations EXCEEDED our expectations with spacious, well stocked and comfortable surroundings, all within a tranquil, quiet, safe, country living estate. Tracy goes above and beyond for her guests and we can’t wait for next years trip!

beautiful property, easy stay

My friends and I had a blast! The property is clean, comfortable, beautiful, and so so spacious for the price we paid. Check-in/check-out process was easy. We were so excited to see horses in our backyard - an added bonus! I will definitely keep this place in mind when I come back to Door County!

We really liked this house. The open kitchen, living, dining was great. We enjoyed the large kitchen table so we could all be together. The extra room to the west was awesome for the kids to spread out. The location was nice, close enuf to drive to the beach and northern door county but we enjoyed the country setting. The only thing we would suggest would be a larger water heater to accommodate large groups - Tracie mentioned it was smaller in the notes but after a long day, it would have been nice to have warm showers. Overall I would definitely recommend this property.

The house was clean and spacious. And the lot was very spacious. We enjoyed sitting out on the back patio enjoying our morning coffee. It is a nice rural neighborhood. We enjoyed seeing the horses and hearing the rooster crow of a morning. It was nice to meet the owner of the property as she lives in the basement of the home. The internet kept going out which made the TV unusable. And the cycling of either the sump pump or else the sewer lift pump was loud enough in one of the bedrooms to interfere with sleeping. But otherwise we enjoyed our stay very much.

Lovely home. Beds were comfortable. However hot water in master bath never really got hot. Well stocked kitchen and bath items and beach gear. First time staying where host also was staying, but never heard or saw them. Host did have flowers delivered for us which was a nice touch!

Awesome place in Door County with large family with pets

The only reason I didn't rate it a 5 overall was because the hot water heater, dishwasher, and A/C weren't working great when we were there. Other than that, the place was perfect for our family of 5 with 2 dogs. Within easy walking and biking distance of a beautiful biking trail that goes into Sturgeon Bay. Beautiful property with horses and goats to look at. Host was very responsive with excellent communication.

Upon arrival, everything was clean and just like the pictures and description online. Kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. House was spacious and nicely furnished. Only negatives were the lack of hot water in the master bath shower and the inoperative dish washer. Plenty of hot water available at the master bath sink and other faucets in kitchen and second bath. Appeared an adjustment to the shower faucet is necessary -- it would only move a quarter turn. Recommend a plumber inspect and adjust the shower and the dishwasher be repaired/replaced. Appreciated the use of the washer and dryer.

Tracie was very easy to communicate with. The home was extremely well maintained and equipped. We hosted a small gathering for my mother’s 90th birthday. There was good inside and outside seating, the kitchen was the best equipped of any place I have rented. Tracie allowed us to check in early to set up food which was very helpful. She even sent a bouquet for Mom from a neighboring business. She even offered to mail my grandson’s blanket to him after we left it behind. I would definitely stay here again. Access from hwy 42 was easy. Good space for people to spread out and a variety of games, books, and activities for rainy days. Thank you Tracie.

Totally Awesome GirlTrip 2025

Tracie’s home was very comfortable and nicely decorated. She pays attention to detail… had everything we needed and then some :). Tracie was also a great communicator and prompt in responding. I loved that we had a garage to pull into since we generally came home late… due to all of the fun activities to do in Door County. Our one and ONLY suggestion would be that it would have been disclosed on line that there was a cat nearby….due to allergies ….otherwise, her home was perfect .I would highly recommend staying here… especially if you have a family… sooooo much room!Thank you Tracie for hosting us…

Peaceful getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this property. There was an abundance of gathering spaces both inside and outside. A large patio and yard was perfect for a cookout and provided a great place for our dog to enjoy as well. The kitchen was well-equipped and with a large island and dining room table, there was ample space for cooking and enjoying each other's company.

About the host

Hosted by Tracie Hoffmann

Host profile image
I'm an easy going person, friendly, I keep to myself usually. Feel free to say hello if you see me, but I try to be unseen and unheard as much as possible to give you the space and privacy you deserve.

Why they chose this property

I have lived in Door County my whole life, so I guess it chose me.
I've grown to appreciate the beauty and uniqueness this area has with its long shorelines and picturesque landscapes.

What makes this property unique

Something unique about this property is that I live in the lower apartment which allows me to be available if any issue should arise. I do keep to myself, and am often not there due to my schedule. I do have a couple cats who live with me as well incase anyone has allergies. They are confined to the lower quarters 100% of the time, but air travels so please keep that in mind when booking.
Thank you.
