Location is excellent beautiful spot right on the water. Very scenic, quiet and peaceful. I would love to own a small cabin on the same road. If I were to give any helpful advice, I would say that the cabin could use some updating. We had a wonderful time with our family.

Great location

We had a wonderful time at this location. The beach is beautiful and great for swimming. However the pictures are deceiving because there are no chairs at the beach for a campfire and although there are 4 bunk beds in the upstairs they were to close to the ceiling for our people to sleep in them.

Friends weekend getaway

Had a great stay, cabin was plenty clean and roomy. Me, 4 adult friends, and 2 kids had a great time, with plenty of room. Beach was clean, and water was nice all 3 days. Will definitely be going back! Also had a last-minute dog addition and had no issues with renters accommodating that!

The location is wonderful and what makes this house desirable. House would need some updating and property needs a new cleaning service. Otherwise, very nice beach and neighborhood.

"Up North"

The cottage has an old fashioned, "up north" kind of a vibe. We enjoyed both the grill and the fire pit. One of the days, it was really hot and the cottage doesn't have AC. Thankfully, the caretaker dropped off a couple of fans! The beach is amazing! Plan to stay again in the future.

Great location

It was a nice cabin right across from beach. Downfall was we had to haul all our own sheets and towels with us. Could use all new mattresses None of the beds were comfortable. More windows that opened with screens. For the price wish it was a little more updated with more comfortable sleeping accommodations and linens provided. Location was great though and loved the screen room. We go to sturgeon bay every summer for a week and would love to find a place to return to every year.

NO AC!!! NO AC!!! When we arrived to the Vrbo after being outside all day we were looking forward to sitting in some Air conditioning. NOPE! Didn’t have a unit. I message the host prior to realizing that there wasn’t a unit to see if there was ac and how to turn it on, and I never received any message back. Half the windows were nailed shut or painted shut. The house had no air flow for having no ac, & to add to it, they are old windows so we couldn’t even buy a window unit. At night it never dropped below 85 outside. We ended up having to rent a hotel so that we could get some relief from the heat. The house was dirty and didn’t look like a cleaner had been there. Dead bugs throughout and cobwebs. We noticed the drains were plugged when we got there which was weird, we found out it’s cause large black bugs came up from the drains! The beds are so beyond uncomfortable, felt like there were holes that you sunk into the middle of the bed. The fridge wasn’t working. Ice wasn’t being frozen our milk was lukewarm warm in the morning. We had to unplug the fridge and let it thaw out, once we did that it did start working again. The beach access was truly the only positive thing about the cottage but not worth it in the long run.

Some damage to property that was not there the previous year that owner was not aware of which also prohibited us from using one of the showers. More detail could be used in cleaning. Windows in bathrooms had quite a bit of dirt in window, like it hadn’t been cleaned from opening up in the spring. Other than that it was perfect and as expected.

Cute and Fun cottage for the 4th of July

My family and I booked our stay during the 4th of July weekend. We booked here because of the sandy (not rocky) beach access, closeness to Sturgeon Bay activities, and to have a charming cottage experience. The pictures on the listing do not do this place justice! We were pleasantly surprised with how cozy, yet spacious the cottage was for our family of 5 plus two guests. There were plenty of places to sleep and the beach is literally steps away. Our kids played every day at the beach. The one thing we had a hard time with was the extreme mold problem. We are all highly allergic to mold and we all suffered from the must and mold during the night in our rooms, even with all the fans going and windows open There is also water leakage in some parts of the house. Aside from the cottage needing some care and attention inside the walls for water damage, it was a really cute stay and our family enjoyed it!

We had a great stay! The location was perfect and the view of Lake Michigan was fantastic! It was a little warm sleeping at night with no A/C but we knew that going in. Overall a nice place to stay and would come back.

Best Lake Michigan Vacation Ever

Our family loved our stay at this cottage. It was clean and had plenty of space for all of us to relax and unwind. My favorite feature was the screened in porch where I could hear and see the rolling waves on the beach of Lake Michigan, which was just steps from the front door. The kids loved the beach and my husband was a big fan of the fire pit. We were even able to host a couple meals with extended family who drove up to grill out with us before enjoying the sunset on their drive home. It was so convenient to the shopping in Sturgeon Bay, but felt pretty far removed from a hectic city experience. The neighbors were friendly and the cabin was perfect. We will be making our stay a yearly family tradition.
