We had the most wonderful girls weekend at this adorable little lakeside cottage! It was cozy, spotless, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The peaceful lake views and quiet surroundings made it the perfect place to unwind, laugh, and make lasting memories. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming escape!

We had a wonderful time staying at this home! It was very well furnished with comfortable beds, every kitchen item you could want, and the most spectacular views! We watched the sunset every night as well as a flock of pelicans most mornings. Outdoors, there was a fire pit and multiple comfortable chairs. The host provided lots of firewood for our use. There was also an outdoor grill with propane. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet retreat in Door Co. We will definitely be staying again!

Perfect spot as a jump-off to southern Door County. Great value for a small family. The small lake cottage has everything you'd expect to find- very clean, fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, clean linens, and an amazing back yard view right on the water. The converted patio above the boathouse was a great place to spend time after a long day of exploring the peninsula. We enjoyed cooking a feast on the grill while enjoying amazing views of the bay. If your plans include spending your days exploring Door County, this a is great little spot to come back to at the end of the day. Each evening that we were here, we drove back following the setting sun to a relaxing home base to catch the sunset. Overall, a fantastic experience at a great price.

This home is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for a weekend getaway. My boyfriend and I spent the weekend here as our first trip together and it couldn't have been more perfect. The home is in perfect condition with amazing access to the lake. We made great use of the grill and fire pit. The views are absolutely breathtaking, even if you're relaxing in the living room, the water is SO close you feel like you're right on it no matter where you are at on the property. My only advice to those who stay in the future is to bring groceries prior to arriving to the home. The closest store is about 20 mins away which we LOVED, but would still like to give others a heads up. The secluded area is so peaceful. We will be booking again in the future.

My stay here was absolutely perfect. The description was as stated on VRBO and the house was stocked with all the items one would need to feel like home. The gas fireplace was a treat on those chilly nights and mornings. I especially enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and the access to the lake. The dock and platform were nice perches to enjoy the sunset and the waves lapping against the shore. The host was very responsive, and entry into the house was very easy. I enjoyed being out of the main tourist areas, yet access to the entire Door County area was easy. My favorite place was Potawatomi State Park, which was only 15 minutes from this home. I highly recommend this location for small groups and a peaceful experience.

Beautiful, quiet place to stay!!

We absolutely loved this home! The pictures do not do it justice. Immaculate, charming and quiet. We were able to travel anywhere in Door County within an hour or so. Sturgeon Bay is about a 12 minute drive. It was so nice to go out to visit all the tourist spots but return at the end of the day to a peaceful, quiet sit on the dock or by the fire pit for a relaxing evening. We are already planning to go back to this home again next year. The host was perfect and answered us back immediately when we asked any question! 100% would recommend!

Million Dollar Sunsets

This property is a cozy little slice of heaven! Quite simply, it was everything I had hoped for and more for my 60th Birthday getaway with my husband. It was gloriously private, peaceful, with daily pelican and wildlife shows. My favorite part was the lake-facing four season porch where we started and finished every day. The water and sky changed like stunning paintings come to life. As much as I loved our daily outing in Door County, I couldn’t wait get back to my perch in the porch. The decor was quietly refined and cottage comfy. And the owner had every thoughtful touch necessary at our disposal. We hope to be back!

We loved this place and would return in a heartbeat. The cottage was exactly what is seen in the pictures. The view of Green Bay was spectacular. We enjoyed the enclosed patio/porch to relax and watch the views when it rained. Very quiet and peaceful. Beds were comfortable. Very clean. Kathryn has everything you need for a comfortable stay. She has a fire pit looking toward the bay and a supply of wood which we enjoyed the first night. This is located about 20 minutes from Sturgeon Bay and it took about 45 minutes to get to Fish Creek for a fish boil. She had all the instructions written out for us and she was easy to contact. We all felt very welcomed and comfortable.
