This home was a great size for our group of 6. We each had our own bed and the 2 bathrooms worked well of our group. We appreciated access to the garage so we had a place to store our bikes. Nice secluded location with easy access to town.

This house perfectly suited our needs. Plenty of beds, which ranged from comfortable to too firm, depending on the bed. We loved the sitting area in the living room for hanging out. The back yard was huge! We had plenty of space to walk around, play yard games, enjoy the fire pit. The porch swing was a nice touch too! The main thing that would have improved this visit was a dishwasher. Other than that, we would definitely stay again!

Great weekend stay

We had a great stay at this property over 4th of July weekend. Shawn was great to communicate with during our stay. The backyard was massive and wonderful for yard games. The rooms were exactly as described. Plenty of space throughout for our group to move around. We will definitely stay here again.

This property was very clean very quite very relaxing. There were 10 of us ranging from 11 to 75 family getaway. The amenities were fabulous pretty much anything we needed was there if we didn’t bring it for ourselves we didn’t really need it. Your location is good for all the other things to do indoor County. We had a good time. Memories made laughs were laughed. Was good to get away and relax.

Friends getaway

This trip was amazing. The house itself is exactly as the pictures show. It was a quiet neighborhood with lots of space for fun activities. Yet it was only ten minutes from downtown Sturgeon Bay. If we take a trip back to door county we will definitely be staying here again!
