This place was perfect. The dogs loved the yard and it was a great spot to run them around. The location is close to downtown so it’s a short drive to the city center. Plenty of space for large groups. Simple check in and check out and the host was responsive to questions. Highly recommend this location!

While this is not the "fanciest" property in Door County, it certainly worked for our small group with three kids and one dog. The coffee pot could not be set the night before, since it leaks; and the garage was slightly musty smelling, so anything we kept in there like chairs, games and toys, picked up a slight odor. However, the pole building was awesome for storing my son's boat, the back yard was roomy for the kids and dog to run and play, the basement game area/bar was clean and fresh and the washer and dryer were very modern new units that were a welcome sight. There was plenty of room for our two trucks in the driveway. We were very pleased with our stay. Great value for the money!

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.
