If you love the water, you're right there steps away. We enjoyed the view of the bay and the sounds of the water on the shore right outside our door. We also found the fireplace to be one of the best we've ever had at a rental. It was easy to start, hardly ever smelled of smoke, and we were provided all the wood we could use. We will definitely be back!
We spent 3 nights with our family of 4. Was very relaxing to sit by the shore and watch the waves roll in. Very private location, with all the amenities needed for our trip. Would definitely stay again.
Our stay was too short! Being right by the water was wonderful. We had a bonfire by the shore one evening. The home was very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed. Great location for some quiet time, but not too far from restaurants and tourist attractions. We’d recommend the Maritime Museum in Sturgeon Bay and the fish boil at White Gull Inn in Fish Creek.
Unique design. Very well supplied. Lovely wooded location. A touch far from town (???). But they allowed my little dog! No access to actual national or international news except via wifi. Overall a really nice place to stay.
We wanted to stay in the house this year because it’s nice to have all of the space and a full kitchen. We enjoy making our breakfast in the morning and relaxing a bit before we start our day. The setting was absolutely perfect. Being right on the water was very quiet, private, with a stunning view of the bay. We spent each night down by the fire pit looking over the water. A most relaxing setting.
Beautiful home, met expectations. Very comfortable, good location, and very clean. Property is as described. Kitchen dinnerware is lovely. Non stick cookware is scratched, but that is typical in rentals. I did not pay attention to the descriptions that there is no washer or dryer. Conservation measures in Door County were a bit inconvenient, but admirable. Simply a stunning environment!
My spouse & I and our dog stayed for a week. We’ve stayed in several other houses in Door Co. & this is our favorite. Listening to the waves as we fell asleep & upon wakening, the sunsets & access to the lake were magical. A really pretty & comfortable house with lots of natural light & spectacular views. Surrounding woods are lovely & provide privacy while stores & restaurants are a short drive from the house. The host was also gracious & promptly answered questions. Like other renters, we’d suggest bringing drinking water; unlike other comments, we did not find any odor in the shower. 2 of the bedrooms are on the small size compared to the master bedroom & the loft space is really tiny. No washer or dryer might be a drawback for some. But none of this marred our stay - in fact we’re hoping for a longer stay in this house next year.
Overall very good and the water location was wonderful. Just an FYI. The shower is very slippery and we never did find out just exactly where the red light was for the holding tank. Other quests said that there was a sulfur smell but we did not experience that at all. Just bring you own Fire stick for the TV.
This property was just what we wanted.
Nice home with lots of space & everything we needed for a week’s stay. Furnishings were very comfortable - with good tv’s & WiFi.
The water views & waves crashing at night were extremely relaxing. Also enjoyed lots of pelicans in the area - who seemed to enjoy fishing in front of us.
We would definitely go back.
Barbara was accommodating and easy to communicate with. The house and property itself were wonderful… comfortable, beautiful, and included everything you could need.The sauna and wood burning fireplace made it a dreamy winter weekend! We loved the firepit on the lake at sunset time. How special.. thanks for sharing this with us!
Lovely cottage in the woods. It has three bedrooms with a half-bath upstairs near the bedrooms and a full-bath (shower) on the main floor.
The house would benefit from a full water treatment system - shower water smells of “rotten eggs” making you feel. It particularly clean following the shower.
Living spaces are comfortable with a nice inset wood fireplace.
We had a nice relaxing stay at The Gray Gull. Convenient location no matter what direction we were headed to. Nice views of the bay from living room and bedroom. Accurate description and good communication with owner when needed.
We had a great trip to Door County, as usual. We were on the go everyday (and evening). The weather was not the best but that didn't hold us back. Great restaurants with great food. It was always so good to come back to the Gray Gull. Very comfortable and a great setting. The Gray Gull has everything you need for a relaxing vacation in a peaceful location.
Amazing house, fully equipped with everything you could need. All water views from master and living room/kitchen. Gorgeous little deck to sit on right at waters edge. Great vacation spot to get away from it all
We had a great stay at the White Gull - enjoying the deck was a nightly happening while watching the sunset. The peninsula is beautiful and easy to get from town to town from the White Gull. Make sure to bring linens.
Our family had the best time staying at the Gray Gull this past week. The property was clean and had everything we needed, and being on the water was amazing. The property is in a great location, a short drive to so many fun places. We would absolutely stay here again!
Great stay. We have been to Door Counrty many times.
There was a problem with the central AC unit which the owneer was responsive to, but it could not be fixed while we were there due to a part that had to be ordered. Fans were available as an alternative.
Enjoyed our week - spent a lot of time on the dock reading & watching pelicans. One of the best equiped kitchens we 've stayed at. Thanks for helping us relax!
