This listing is for Apartment "B". Beautiful Apartments in a turn-of-the-century historic building. This is your chance to experience a bit of history when you stay in one of two beautifully furnished apartments above the Gerhart Building. This building dates back to 1891 and 1905. The oldest portion of the building first served as a tavern and the 1905 section of the building was built to be a hardware store known for many years as Gerhart's Hardware. The street-level portion of the building currently houses "Hello Dolly", a delightful gift and apparel shop, and "The Honeycomb", a great place to drop in and find local artisan items or handmade soaps and candles while vacationing. After you enter the unassuming door on the street level of 2nd Street and climb a short flight of stairs, you will be pleasantly surprised to find two of the loveliest vintage apartments in all of downtown Algoma! They are bright and sunny with floor to ceiling windows in the living rooms and cozy bedrooms, with fully appointed kitchens/ Apartment A has three bedrooms (one queen, one full, and two twins) and one bath and an extra sink and vanity in the hall. There is a large front living area that also has a pull-out couch and a gorgeous '4 seasons' room with knotty pine ceilings and windows around the whole room that offer a panoramic view of the winery, lake, and marina. This apartment has 4 small TV's that are either DVD or VHS ready and there is an extensive DVD and VHS collection with 100's of movies to choose from. Free WiFi is also available. The full-sized kitchen is completely stocked with everything you would need to create a beautiful meal, but you may prefer any of the many fine dining establishments that are less than a block away. "Off the Hook" and "Pizza Bowl" are couple of the owner's favorites. There is a washer and dryer available for use also. When you walk into Apartment B, the floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors, and graceful arches in the living dining room will take your breath away. This lovely apartment has two bedrooms (one with a queen and one with two twins) and one bathroom. The kitchen is huge and cheery - a great place to cook a good old fashioned breakfast to enjoy at the antique dining table. Again, there is free WiFi and access to a multitude of movies. This would be a perfect place to host a 'girlfriend trip' or a romantic get-away. And don't forget about the Von Stiehl Winery directly across the street! They have a wonderful tour and they host several events throughout the year.

Spacious and nostalgic, we were pleasantly surprised. Plenty of street parking. Walkable to the lakefront and restaurants. They were also accommodating and allowed us to check out at 12 because my daughter had an online class until 11:30 am. Only thing was the noise from people leaving bars but it’s ok.
Charming, with a lot of character! While the floors were very sloped, the character of the place made up for it. If you want modern stay away, but we loved it!

Thank you for the kind review! Yes, the old building has settled in a very unique way, to say the least. :-)
Location cannot be beaten. Seemed like a block from everything!It's historic, has everything you need. It is not new and shiny, but provides the essentials. It might be better suited for a guys trip, as girls can be more picky sometimes.Owner is very responsive and nice.Algoma is a great weekend getaway.
Spacious, cozy. But needs a lot of love and updates, AC is a window unit in one bedroom only and looking into the AC unit it desperately needs to be cleaned. Finding the front door was a little troublesome, needs a sign or something to identify it better. Great communication with the owners. Would stay again in colder months.

Thank you for the honest review! We are addressing some of the needs of the old building next year, including looking into split-unit A/Cs to help cool both apartments better. As for the entrance, I am not sure if you saw it, but I send all renters a pic of the front door from the street to their VRBO inbox with the check-in instructions, as it is a bit difficult to find sometimes. Please come visit us again anytime!
My parents in law stayed here with us in a weekend trip up to Door County. We had a lovely vacation in the beautiful, sunny apartment. The chaise lounges in the living room were especially comfy. Even though it is a bit older, everything was clean and neat and tidy. It was perfect for our needs. Algoma is also such a cute town to stay in! There was lots of great food and beautiful small town charm!
We were in town for the DC Beer festival. The apartment was clean and they left popcorn for us. They offered a great selection of DVDs to watch, which is what we did after busy days. Wonderful spot and we would definitely come back.
Awesome experience for a weekend getaway or longer
Very spacious and comfortable apartment that met all of our needs! We hope to return and are happy to see there's plenty of room for our 2 kids to join us. Great price for a wonderful apartment. We also appreciate the quick and helpful communication, and helping us find a place for our bikes. Many thanks!
Overall a great place! Only issue we had was there is only ac in one room. The rest of the apartment was way to hot to enjoy. Owners are amazing! Great with communication and replying in a reasonable amount of time.

Our stay was nice but a few things could have made it better. We didn't realize the entire apartment was not air-conditioned. There is a window unit in one of the bedrooms which worked well. And one evening the bar across the street had loud music playing very late into the night. The apartment worked well for us for this last minute trip.

About the host
Your host
Goose Down Properties was the result of four friends who met through a duck hunting forum. The members were offered the opportunity to purchase the Gerhart Building from the wonderful owner after staying in the apartments several times over the years. Three of the members live in the nearby Fox Valley. All of the members share a passion for the outdoors.
Why they chose this property
We enjoy the convenience of it all. It's a very close walk back from some good hangouts. You can hit the bowling lanes directly across the street from the front door, and the winery is just across the other street. You can be at the beach in a matter of minutes on foot. The shops downstairs offer some nice items.
What makes this property unique
The building, itself. It is in a fantastic location, only minutes from anything. There is plenty of space to spread out in Apt A, with its two living rooms. Apt B boasts a very charming readers nook and family room area. Its antiquity adds to its appeal. It's one of the oldest buildings in town and is part of the Algoma historic walking tour.
