We are so glad you enjoyed The Prancing Pony for you and your furry family member. We can’t agree with you more about the great morning views from the deck - the sunrises are amazing to take in each morning from the deck or the beach. We are glad you also enjoyed the beach access - each time I walk on it I feel a new sense of peace. Thank you for staying. You are welcome back any time!

My family had a wonderful, peaceful time celebrating my brother’s retirement at the Prancing Pony. It was clean, roomy and designed/decorated to our delight! Everything we needed was provided. We especially enjoyed the quiet dead end road with access to the beach. So incredibly beautiful. Communication was prompt and clear. We look forward to our next visit and highly recommend to anyone seeking escape from Door County’s busyness. Although if you choose that it’s a quick trip!

The host is absolutely lovely. The cabin had a wonderful cozy feel, nice kitchen to work in, very clean. The deck is great to hang out on with a small view of the lake. We felt lucky to be in this cabin. I was under the impression the cabin was right on the lake. I am not sure if I read the listing carefully enough though, that could be my fault. It is across the street from a sparsely traveled road a few blocks walk to the beach access. The beach has great sand and is lovely to be on. I highly recommend this rental. I am grateful to the host for her kind generosity and patience.

Wonderful week in Door

We had a wonderful stay at the Prancing Pony. The house is very charming and has plenty of space. Everything was as-advertised and you can’t beat the location just down the road from the beach! They’ve also added a keypad lock which makes it much easier to come and go.

Great stay!

We spent a fun week in this adorable home! Loved the design and decor of the house. It was well-appointed and very comfortable. Laura was an extremely helpful and kind host - she sent many recommendations that assisted us in having a wonderful week in Door Country (our first visit to this area). I hope we make it to the area again next year as we had a great time!

Perfect Door County Get Away

The Prancing Pony is a lovely, quiet spot perfectly situated to be away from the hustle and bustle of Door County towns but close enough to access everything you want to do. Super comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen and good community spaces large enough for games and an occasional sporting event on the large flat screen tv met of family’s needs.

We are thrilled to hear that The Prancing Pony was the perfect home for your Door County getaway. It is great to know that our beds kept you cozy, the kitchen had everything you needed, and the living space was large enough for your family game nights and sports viewing. We love providing a quiet retreat that still keeps you close to all the action.We welcome your family again the next time you head up to the peninsula!

The location was very good and the hostess easy to communicate with. The beds and pillows were wonderful!!We do have suggestions though...we couldn't find any kitchen towels or kitchen cloths. It would be good to have a clean sponge in wrapper and starter items such as a roll of paper towels, a small bag of coffee.

Very nice, rustic, well kept property. Plenty of room for my family of 4 plus 1. Property had a beautiful view of Lake MI from the deck and access to the lake was only a few doors down across the street. The sandy beach was great for long walks and just hangin’ out.
