About this property

Welcome to your own private getaway!

Set back in a quiet wooded area but within walking distance of Pebble Beach and some of the most beautiful views in the area. There's enough space for everyone. Enjoy the relaxation of it all and feel the stress of real life fall away. This place is perfect to just get away from it all. Let us know if you need anything and welcome to the best part of Sister Bay!!

A little history about the property-
My ancestors built little sister resort (was next door) when they settled the area and when my grandparents sold that they built this house in 74. I actually lived in it from 9-16 too. The resort ended up buying it and renting it out for 20+ years. When the resort sold, they broke off some of the side properties including this one. My husband and I jumped at the chance to own what used to be family property.

Any questions then feel free to ask!

We did not stay in the house except to sleep. The experience was comfortable. The house was very clean. Eventually it will need to be updated.

High School Friends Grad- 1971

The house is set in a very quiet neighborhood. The front yard has a partial view of Sister Bay while we say at the bistro table and chairs. All their beds and furniture were clean and comfortable. The inside of the house had a little musty smell. It did dissipate after we turned on the Air Conditioning.

Nice property, excellent location

Nissa is a super host. She was available and attentive to our needs. The only hiccup occurred when, with our extended stay (11 days) and having a couple of old friends stay three nights, we ran short of toilet paper. I notified Nissa of the need, but we had to provide for our shortage. I wonder if there is a VRBO rule that doesn't allow the host to come and interact with the guests? If so, it's a rule that needs to change. We had a wonderful stay. The house is older ('70s), but is in good condition and provided us with the space and location we needed for our vacation.

Sister Bay Surprise

The home had not been cleaned before we got there! The countertop and stove top were dusty and greasy. The kitchen sink had food particles and coffee grounds in the strainers. The windows and patio doors were full of mildew and spider webs, and we killed at least a dozen spiders in the first couple of days. If the place had been cleaned prior to our arrival, we would not have had any complaints. We left the place cleaner than we found it!!

Worked well for us

Nice clean house. Older but that's OK. Location is good. Lots of trees around the property/area so there will are bugs and spiders outside, but also deer. Only issue was the grill outside didn't get hot enough to cook a brat. All in all, happy with the place.

Nice quiet location close to Sister Bay shops.

Older home, but comfortable beds, clean inside, and had a wood burning fireplace which we enjoyed. House had the amenities we needed and expected, though somewhat outdated. There were a couple of issues, one being the showers did not have shower heads, just nozzles, and the house definitely had a damp odor throughout. Lots of bugs and cobwebs on exterior windows, the outside wasn't ready for guests.

Great location and roomy, but wet and cold

PROS: The house location is great - short drive into Sister Bay downtown area, close to grocery store, within walking (long walk though) to Pebble Beach with gorgeous sunsets! The owner of the house is extremely responsive to the messages and kind, too - Nissa ran out a coffee maker replacement when the one in the house wasn't working. The house has plenty of room to cook, dine, hang out, and accommodate. There is space in the driveway and front yard for kids to play. And there is a firepit with chairs. CONS: However, the property came up short on our expectations of cleanliness/smell/wetness. The house was VERY damp, there were AC wall units that tried to dry it up. So it either our family (especially little kids) were cold/damp or warm/wet/smelly. There were lots of air fresheners throughout the house to help with the smell, but as someone who is sensitive to strong smells, we had to unplug a few to be able to breathe. As much as we wanted to enjoy the house, the smell and wetness really soured our stay.

Welcome to the lake!

The host was great communicating with me throughout the process. Our group plans a trip every summer and are reasonably familiar with the rental property process. This property was pretty true to the photographs and description. The six of us adults had plenty of room. The location was close to all of the towns along the lake. There was a lot more traffic on this road than we expected, probably due to construction on the homes across the street and behind the house where exclusive homes are being built on the site of a former golf course. We made use of the grill and fire pit, which were nice additions. Each couple took turns preparing dinners. The kitchen could’ve been a bit more equipped; there were no pitchers, mixing bowls, working can opener, ice cube trays or serving dishes, but plenty of plates, bowls, flatware, glasses and coffee cups. I take responsibility for that, bc I should’ve asked the host about kitchen specifics beforehand. The house was clean, but could use a deeper clean in places like the kitchen windowsill (lots of gnats and mosquitoes appeared around the kitchen sink overnight, door and window jambs, around sink fixtures, patio doors and thorough vacuuming of carpeting. Overall, this was a clean, comfortable property. Beds were comfortable. Air conditioning was a plus, as we had some unseasonably hot days. The host provided firewood for the fire pit. The house could use some updating, but it was nostalgic, as a child of the 60s & 70s, looking at some of the older features of the house. It’s really cool that this house has been the the host’s family for several years. I know she must be very proud to own such a lovely place.

First Trip to Door County

Two couples rented the property for their first trip to Door County. The location worked well for us to explore the area. The patio off the dinning area was great for snacks and drinks before supper. There were no bugs! Great!
