Quiet, secluded stay

Great choice for a couple looking for a quiet stay in Door County. Easy access to the main highway without being in the middle of downtown traffic.

What an incredible place

This is the most unique of VRBOs! We could see Sleeping Bear Dunes if the weather was right. Loved this tower. Our nine days were a dream. The best vertical cabin we could have hoped for to celebrate our 44th anniversary. Just so cool.

Very unique and private.

One of the most interesting places we have ever stayed. Brenner Tower is smartly decorated, truly unique style with an interesting history. We loved the views from the kitchen, and the privacy. It is a short drive to most everything in Door County, including Washington Island. Lots of stairs and close quarters might make it better for a night or two stay, rather than a weeks' vacation.

Beautiful Place

The place is gorgeous, we really enjoyed the stay. We are early 70's , there is a lot of stairs that would not have bothered us 10 years ago. The bed although very comfortable sits fairly low to the ground. If your looking for a unique, out of the ordinary place I would highly recommend it.

Amazing place!! The architecture is unique, and the setting is picturesque. My husband said he felt like he has his own Game of Thrones tower. Perfect for 2 people. Since the weather kept us indoors, we had a wonderful time hanging out in the top of the tower working on puzzles and playing games. We brought our own, but there were plenty of games, puzzles, and books already at the tower. Previous reviews mentioned pet hair. But we found the entire place very clean. The bed was comfortable.Close to restaurants, shops, and attractions. Easy drive to Newport State Beach. We went during a break in the rain and had the whole beach to ourselves.We will definitely be back!

AMAZING!

The Brennan tour is amazing! The location is perfect. It's secluded and private, but close to local amenities, and a short drive to lots of great spots to eat, drink, shop and relax. The binder provided by the owner has a TON of great recommendations. The tower itself has everything you need for a perfect get-away!

Tower with a view

Fun, funky place to stay with a bit of history attached. The 360 views of Door County from the top of tower are great. Very clean and well maintained property. Would book again, especially in the fall.

Unique property in a great location.

We loved the uniqueness of the tower. It’s semi rural setting with land around it made it private and relaxing. The location to other towns along the peninsula made it a quick and beautiful drive to enjoy restaurants, shops, parks and hikes. Would recommend this property to adult couples who don’t mind stairs. We would definitely rent it again.

Wonderful Place

Interesting and unique architecture with beautiful views in a quiet location characterizes our stay at the Tower. We can't wait to go back. The only negative we experienced was that as a listed pet friendly property there was a lot of dog hair in the unit and what appeared to be possibly dog urine stains (?) on the pull-out couch cushions located on the ground floor. I mention this because those with allergies may want to stay elsewhere.

Brenner tower

Took house for location. Wanting to be able to sit outside to watch the meteor showers. That worked very well. House was unique but since we are seniors the steps at time were a bit much. Kitchen was always way too hot which I believe had to do with all the windows. They should put a dorm refrigerator tucked away on the first floor for beverages. Garbage can on first floor also would be helpful. Had issue with the 1/2 bath so Plummer was called by manager and was promptly taken care of within 24 hrs. Overall very nice and had a good experience. Claudia

Wonderful overall

Such a neat place to stay. However, the only thing that needs improvement is the cleanliness. I was having allergic reactions the whole weekend stay to what I assumed was cat hair since I’m allergic to that. It was all over the couch, the bed and blankets, and the pillows. I could not wear my contacts the whole time because of this. Not sure that any of that was washed before our stay. Besides that, everything was great and had a pretty good experience.

Unique and wonderful place!

Admittedly, we love architecturally interesting places. The Brenner tower was just that! How often do you get to stay in a three-story round tower? The setting was beautiful sitting high above the door county countryside with views of the bay and Washington Island. We especially loved spending time on the third floor cooking, playing games, reading and enjoying the fireplace. Even though the wind was howling outside, we were snug and warm inside. It was cloudy the whole time we were there, but I imagine sunrises and sunsets would be beautiful. The kitchen worked well for us, using the stove and oven throughout our visit. Our two kids slept on the sofa sleeper on the first floor and they would report it was not the most comfortable but what sofa sleeper is? The shower is small, but functional. It is a small space with simple accommodations and a nice updated kitchen - a unique and very cool building. We would definitely love to stay at the Brenner Tower again.
