Truly a "Hidden Gem"

This property is located on Sturgeon Bay and the views of the water are panoramic across the property. The water can be seen from nearly windows on the property and is only about 50 feet from the water. The property owners were most helpful and truly cared about our comfort and preferences.

Quiet Getaway Spot

If you want to get away from the downtown hustle and bustle, this is the place! In a week there, we only saw ducks, geese, one lone swan and two fishermen (once). However within ten minutes you can find wonderful spots to eat or even Christmas shop. I did both!!

Goose Creek

Hidden at a dead end with other homes around but very quiet. Clean, welcoming touches, serene lake view and the communication was great with the host. The many geese arriving and departing was entertaining every day! We recommend this VRBO!

Beautiful Stay

While the weather did not cooperate we had a very nice stay! The owner bought our first bundle of firewood. Very clean, beautiful view of the bay! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing spot to stay while enjoying Door County.

Wonderful stay!

The cabin is located right on the water - we were pleasantly surprised by the availability of outdoor seating, kayaks & life jackets, a fully stocked kitchen and two on-property fire pits. Kim was extremely responsive and helpful in answering our questions and making sure we were taken care of during our stay. It was a serene and fun time here.

Spectacular House

Myself and family really enjoyed ourselves at the house. The view was magnificent. So convenient with the location for what we had in mind. Nice that there was a gas station and a restaurant/bar nearby.

Very nice and quiet

We sat under the maple tree and watched the wildlife on the bay for a couple of hours. We really enjoyed the Pelicans fishing. Also saw an otter, king fisher and lots of ducks and geese. Very relaxing. The only down-side is that the beds are small. But, overall, we really enjoyed this property.

Summer Holiday Weekend

My parents and I had an amazing stay for the July 4th weekend! We enjoyed the cabin style decor and cute kitchen. Spent a peaceful morning kayaking on the lake out back, and had unobstructed views of fireworks at night! Kimberly was communicative and thoughtful, and we are so glad to have stayed here for our Door County experience!

Gem on the bay

Selected this cottage to do some ice fishing and visit family in area. Well maintained and very clean & comfortable. Cottage was fully stocked and bedding/linens were new. Will have to try it in the summertime.
