Somewhat Disappointing

Pros - the bed was comfortable, the inside was pretty clean, the location was good. You can dock your boat right outside the back door if you like. There is a nice park and boat launch within walking distance. Wi-Fi, coffee maker, fridge worked fine. Cons - What I thought would be a lodgy vibe was more of an outdated feel. The bathroom is cramped and has no exhaust. The bathroom window doesn’t open either. Cable TV cut in and out repeatedly and our host informed us of this issue when we arrived. We didn’t spend a ton of time in front of the TV, but it was irritating, nonetheless. There was a wasp nest under one of the eves and they were getting into the house. We did report this to the host and an exterminator was called and took care of the problem within 2 hours. We were thankful for that. There was also a major spider issue in the breezeway leading to the front door that we took care of with a can of Raid on the night we arrived. The front and back yards were weed-filled and littered with nursery trays of dead flowers and other miscellaneous discarded items. The outdoor shower was not usable because of all the weeds growing beneath it. This property was not well kept. We considered leaving a few times, but it was the days leading to Labor Day and we did not find a substitute location that could accommodate our boat. This place has potential if it receives the attention it needs.

Great location!

This house was perfect for two couples. The pier behind the home was perfect for enjoying a meal outdoors followed by star gazing. Ann was a lovely hostess who greeted us and gave great restaurant suggestions. We will return!

Hidden gem

Super cute little bungalow on the lagoon. Loads of fish and birds and turtles to watch. Fire out out back was a nice touch. There is a little wood stand down the road about 30 seconds you can buy from. Very clean and very walkable to town. It was a nice 30 minute walk.

Loved being on the water!

Yes, it feels cabin-y and rustic. But it was perfect for our group of 4. Just a short walk to the local beach. A/C worked great. Beds fine. Sitting on the dock was peaceful. Better than I thought it would be, really.

Wonderful cottage

The cottage is great. Fully equipped with everything you can think of. We met the owner at check-in when she met us there. She gave us a quick tour and offered suggestions about things to see and do in Door County. She texted us a couple times during our stay just to make sure we were doing OK. The table and chairs on the pier at the water were our favorite spot. The whole stay was relaxing. We will definitely be back!

Great Spot and Hospitality

Great weekend stay, loved the location and accommodation. What a fantastic host too! Only thing id recommend is maybe a new mattress. It was a bit too uneven for us. We felt like we were sliding off. Seemed a little too uncomfortable for our liking but we loved it otherwise.

Cozy Bungalow in Sturgeon Bay

Looking for a great little bungalow right in the heart of Sturgeon Bay? This is it! Came to town to run the Fall 50 and stayed here and it was as perfect as we could have hoped. If you want the Ritz Carlton, take your money bags elsewhere. You want a cozy spot, close to everything, with a great host…this is your Spot. Ann made sure everything was perfect for us starting with check in all the way through check out. Can’t wait to come back and stay again!

Great Labor Day Weekend

This property was very clean, quaint, and the location is beautiful. The owner provided all the necessities and a well stocked kitchen. We brought our boat and the pier was excellent. We spent alot of time at the table on the pier. The boat launch is a very short distance to the property, easy in and out.

Perfect Location!

This house was absolutely perfect for our family of 3! Having a toddler, it's a pain to load up the car everytime you want to go somewhere, but we were within walking distance of the beach and restaurants. Ann was absolutely amazing and was so easy to work with. She was very kind and made sure our stay was perfect. We would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable Bungalow

The bungalow was very clean and comfortable. Sitting on the dock in the mornings was very relaxing. Although we did not utilize anything but the coffee pot it seemed everything was there if we needed. The host Ann was very nice to talk to. We did not meet as we were never there during the day. If we go back to Sturgeon Bay we would stay again.

A cozy, simple place in an ideal location

Property is a simple but comfortable small house, making a lovely stay for a small family like ours. Location is fantastic, directly adjacent to Sunset Park (swimming beach, boat launch, playground, sport courts, benches, fireworks!) and less than a mile from the center of town. Easy to get everywhere, including into town and further North. Kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, pans and cooking utensils. Overall a great place to base a Door County adventure!

Salmon fishing trip

The house and dock gave us a very comfortable stay......house and beds were very comfortable.....2 guys slept in bedrooms, I slept on couch.....best couch I've slept on!!! Having the dock alongside the house was fantastic. We fished the big lake so it took us an hour to reach the Coast Guard Station at the shoreline; which was a little on the long side. The house is located on the north end of the canal so it would have been perfect if we were fishing the bay of Green Bay. Our host Ann, was very helpful and gracious.....she jumped through hoops to accommodate us!!!!

Cozy, comfortable, great location and excellent host!

My wife and I spent a week in the cottage. It's not perfect, the wallpaper needs to be replaced...the restroom layout is very tight (your knees are under the sink if you sit on the toilet), and no GFCI outlets in kitchen or bath. That being said...most of this is about your own expectations. The place was pretty clean, everything worked, the bed was super comfortable, and the kitchen was well outfitted. If you are looking for something brand new with the latest of everything...you will be disappointed. If you are looking for something clean and comfortable in a great location...you will be very happy. Ann was great and was more than willing to give local recommendations and talk about the area! Fishing from the dock out back was fun and watching the deer, fish, and birds with our morning coffee was very relaxing.

This property welcomed us for our first time in Wisconsin! The backyard is AMAZING. We spent lots of time there. About a 10-15 minute walk to downtown. Ann (host) is about the nicest person I have ever met and genuinely wanted us to enjoy our stay. Short and easy drive to the rest of door county. I would recommend this property!

Great location

Really enjoyed our stay in Door County. The home was in a perfect location to explore the whole area. Able to visit Fish Creek, Egg Harbor, Washington Island and Sister Bay (don't miss the goats), all within an hours drive. The house had everything we needed and plenty of space for the 2 of us. Bathroom had an unusual lay out, put we managed. Bed was comfortable and everything was clean. Great park near by for walks and to enjoy the sunset. Did some fishing from the dock but the evenings were pretty chilling and windy, so we did not use the fire ring. We had an opportunity to meet Ann, and she was pleasant and very concerned that we had everything to make our stay a great experience. Would stay in this home again if we ever make it back to Sturgeon Bay.
