It was an excellent vacation we stayed with our dog who had the time of her life. Her highlite was Pebble Beach. We also caught a magnificent sun set. I really enjoyed being able to walk to most places. The house is great nothing teally needs to change. We are looking to book it for next year July. Hope that there is availability. Thank you so much for making our first time in Door County something we may consider every year.

The property is very well maintained, stocked with everything you could possibly need and nicely decorated. We were very comfortable and it’s great that pets are allowed too. The location is wonderful with a short 10 minute walk into downtown Sister Bay. We never drove once. Home is located on main road through town but you couldn’t hear traffic unless windows were open. The property managed Pam was very helpful and timely with communications. Very satisfied!

Excellent Location

Location is walking distance to downtown Sister Bay on the Northern end of town. It’s right off the Main Street so you do hear street noise but it’s very quiet in the evening. The kitchen has all the coffee appliances you need. Wonderful stay and would absolutely stay again.

Door County Ladies Adventure

Sister Bay Chalet is conveniently located on main road through Sister Bay. The house had everything we needed when not out site seeing, shopping or dining. We spent time in Fish Creek, Newport State Park, Peninsula State Park and took the ferry to Washington Island - which was a pleasant surprise and perhaps our favorite part of the weekend. We will be back!

Lovely spacious retreat in Sister bay

Spacious with comfortable furnishings Adorable inside ! Pam was very responsive and genuinely concerned that we enjoyed our stay. Only downsides were no AC in some of bedrooms and it was very hot the weekend we stayed. The other concern was the traffic on 42. It’s a blessing to be close to all things Sister bay but road traffic is something else! Overall would easily recommend this property!

Adorable House

The location is great! The beds are comfortable and we were all grateful for the wonderful pillows. The 3rd bedroom is set up great for kids. The sloped ceilings made it a little tricky for the 60 (something) crowd. A luggage rack would have helped. The living spaces are comfortable and plentiful. Thanks for sharing.

This "cottage" has uneven sloping floors with inclines up to 2 inches - terribly hazardous. Almost completely fell 3 times. Paid a lot of to endanger ourselves. Listing did not identify this. Pet friendly - not for us. Day before we arrived the yard was sprayed. One of the reasons for renting a house is to have a yard. Flags marked the yard. Thus it was not useable for our pet or for us. Agent knew we were bringing a pet since we paid for a pet. Only thing great about this place was the location.

Too Short, Wanna Go Back!

This adorable cottage exceeded our expectations. Highlights include large open-plan kitchen, dining and living room combo, huge windows with screens for lots of fresh air and views surrounded by trees for privacy. It’s just a half mile walk to Sister Bay. The kitchen was very well equipped, the bathrooms were newly remodeled and the whole upstairs had brand new carpet. It was spotless and perfect for our getaway.

Why they chose this property

The Sister Bay Chalet is the first property we purchased in Door County and our first dedicated vacation rental. It was one of the first houses we looked at when we started our search. While it wasn't exactly love at first sight, we new we liked the authentic look of the home and the location couldn't be better. After seeing quite a few more houses and considering our options, we decided we could pretty easily turn the Chalet into a charming vacation rental, with just a minor kitchen update. We very quickly fell in love with the Chalet, Sister Bay and playing host to hundreds of people traveling to Door County every year.

What makes this property unique

The house is stocked with many kid- and baby-friendly amenities, including a high chair, pack and play, baby gate and a chest full of toys.
