This place was very affordable and clean, comfortable and in a very good location. It was nice and quiet, but it was close to every place we wanted to go. We enjoyed having the fireplace going in the morning while we had our coffee and later evening as we had our wine and settled down for the night after a busy day of touring.

This was the 2nd time staying at Country Haven. It’s secluded and private but still close enough to enjoy what Door County has to offer. We will definitely be back.

We loved this place. It was certainly rustic, but just as cozy. We started every morning enjoying the peace and quiet the amazing front porch offered. Minutes away from the bustle of what many believe “Door County” to be. Truly the perfect spot!

Such a great little house tucked in the woods up around the quiet northern part of Door County. It lived up to its description and pictures. It was clean, and nicely furnished with a well stocked kitchen. The hosts were easy to work with and responsive. If you enjoy looking at the stars with your telescope or taking pictures of the night sky, this is a great place to stay. It's close to Newport State Park which is a dark sky preserve and the yard is also nice and dark if you just want to sit outside and look up at the sky. I only have one minor suggestion, and that is to consider adding wifi to the home's amenities since the cell signal isn't particularly strong there. Otherwise everything was great and I would happily return!

Quaint 2 level house with room for 4 or more in the right setting. Brilliant for visiting the northern tip of Door county and disconnecting. Skys are dark and views in the evening are beautiful. Its close to New Port and a great base of operation for a stargazing trip. Would go again. As far as we can tell the fireplace has safe-guards to prevent it from being used. I would keep that in mind in the winter but the owner may change that in cold months or it could be user error. Super important to remember you have to bring all towels and dish towels.

July 2027 was our second family stay at the Mink River Cottage. We love the location and peace and calm of the cottage. Our grand daughter enjoyed playing corn hole on the porch and everyone enjoyed cooking family dinners. We are already looking forward to visiting the Mink River Cottage again in 2027!

The property was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the wrap around porch in the mornings to sit and have our coffee. The night we arrived we seen a deer and a baby bunny which was great, as we are all nature lovers. Our host Myron was the nicest person; he responded right away with everything we needed to know. Definitely would love to stay here again

We absolutely loved our stay at this charming little cabin in Door County! The cabin was cozy, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The large front porch was definitely a highlight—it was the perfect spot to sit with a cup of coffee in the morning, unwind after a day of exploring, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.The location was wonderful for experiencing all that Door County has to offer, while still providing a quiet and cozy place to come back to. Everything was clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully arranged.We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily come back. It was the perfect little place for a peaceful Door County escape!

Very cute, private relaxing place. Close to the ferry and any of the quaint towns you would want to explore. The porch is the perfect place for your morning cup of coffee. So peaceful.

We had a wonderful stay at the Cottage on Mink River Road! Check in and out were easy and the property was very clean. All the beds were comfortable and we had all the dishes we needed. We liked the proximity to all of Door County. We spent one day on Washington Island and it was nice to have the ferry dock so near by. Some things to be aware of: we had no cell service at the property and there is no wi-fi. We could get service in the nearby town of Ellison Bay though. Thank you for sharing your home!

The hosts are great - super responsive and a message away to answer questions and offer insight into the area. The cottage is off the beaten path but close enough to get everywhere you want to be, whether it's a locals spot, a tourist spot, or drive in the country and a hike in the woods. The cottage is perfectly Door County. This is a place to disconnect. There is a TV that I assume works - we never turn on a TV when we're up on the Peninsula - and a boom box for radio. Cell reception, like most places outside of town, is quite limited. Ellison Bay is but a mile down the road and just about every spot on the main drag has wifi. The property is very well maintained and makes you feel way more 'out there' than you really are. Again, just what you want.Would absolutely stay there again on a return trip to the area.

This was our second time in a row staying here for our annual fishing trip and is a perfect quiet place surrounded by nature to hang out grill and tell a few fish stories while having a few cold ones with your best buddies! It’s very clean and well taken care of a little on the small side especially with 4 guys and another bed or futon/pull out couch would be great but other than that everything was great like last time and can’t wait to come back next year!

Nestled on a wooded lot with birdcalls to greet you upon rising each morning. So clean and comfortable. The history of the cottage is posted and antiques and vintage decor surround you. Our host communicated in a timely manner.A very restful, peaceful place, especially the little nature trail!

This a charming 2BR house close to Ellison Bay, but tucked away from the hustle and bustle of larger towns right on the bay. It has a large front porch, nice for sitting with a cup of coffee or glass of wine and listening to the birds. 10 minutes away from a couple of excellent restaurants and coffee shops. There is a nice sized yard for kids to run around in or play yard games. Plenty of books, puzzles, and games to play inside too. The hosts are very friendly and quick to respond to messages. We'd definitely stay there again.
