Perfect location and house for a group of friends to enjoy the long weekend. The porch is spectacular and a great spot to hang out all day and look at the water. And while we didn’t cook, we noticed that the kitchen had everything one would need.

After 16 years of "Couples Trips" we all agreed this was the best property we have rented from VRBO. It was smart in the listing -- accurate; reasonable pricing, & VERY well equipped. Each bedroom had beyond the basics -- a sound machine, some work-out weights, yoga mat, & plenty of towels, toilet paper, etc. Location was easy access to Sturgeon Bay shops & restaurants, or head north to other areas of the peninsula.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bridgeview Cottage. It is a comfortable, beautiful, thoughtfully appointed ranch home with an unbelievable view from multiple rooms. We appreciated the soft blankets for coziness in the LR and on the three season porch, and had such a great time playing the games provided by our hostess. All the stars - 10/10 recommend.

I would like to say that our host went above and beyond! When my sister and husband wanted to come but couldn't park in the driveway, they had a small Echo RV. Dana knew a boondocking host that would accommodate them less then 10 minutes away. The cottage was beautiful, clean and the lakeviews are breathtaking! It is neatly tucked down a deadend road where you can not hear traffic noise, except for the occasional blow of the drawbridge whistle! I would recommend this cozy hideaway for anyone! Thank you Dana!

Property is very nice - well maintained and comfortable. Move in and checkout were both easy. Location was great and we spent time outside in the backyard enjoying games and the view of the water. Owner did a great job communicating and staying in touch. We had three generations of our family with us and all enjoyed time at the property. Would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Dana Mattingly

Host profile image
Having grown up in Sturgeon Bay, Door County has a very special place in my heart. While my family and I live just over an hour away, it has always been a dream of ours to have a home in Sturgeon Bay. When we can’t be at the Cottage, we enjoy renting the home to visitors. It is our hope that by sharing our Sturgeon Bay home with others, we will give others the opportunity to explore and love Door County as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

One of our favorite things about the Bridgeview Cottage is that it is on a quiet residential street for a private and relaxing getaway. Yet it is close to the conveniences and activities of Sturgeon Bay and to the highway for quick access to the towns and attractions of northern Door. We hope our guests are able to find the same enjoyment in balancing a relaxing stay in our home with the numerous adventures and activities awaiting them around the county.
