Map & Owner's Profile
Carraig Mór Cottage, Luxury in the Heart of Door County.
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Baileys Harbor
About 7 years ago a friend of ours invited us to spend a weekend with them at their cabin in Door Country. We had never been to Door County before. We fell in love with the area immediately. The Door County peninsula is surrounded by natural beauty. There is so much to do - hike, walk, bicycle, bird watch, fish, and hunt. The list is endless. It is a great place to spend time with family. I love the fact that there are basically no franchises north of Sturgeon Bay. It is all Mom and Pop businesses. It is great to go out at night for a home style meal rather than the fast food we are surrounded with these days. The people are also very nice.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
The garden at Carraig Mór is truly amazing. It is practically a mini botanical garden. You can see many pictures of it on this website. You must also read the guest reviews. Our reviews are left on this site are left by our guests directly and not posted by us. As our guests say, the pictures do not do it justice.
We have also made a substantial investment in the house - in fact you are not staying at a house - you are staying at a home and this you can feel as soon as you walk through the front door.

An uncommonly beautiful Door County property!

Carriag Mor cottage is a bit of heaven. While this has only been our second visit to Carriag Mor/Bailey's Harbor, the feeling doesn't change - it feels like home.This property is exquisitely maintained and the location is perfect - a stone's throw from the local ice cream shop and coffee bar. Who could ask for more? The property looks exactly as advertised in their photo. The owners are helpful, friendly and very accommodating. Oh wait, I forgot to add, proactive - as there is a binder, located in the kitchen, with any pertinent information that you may need answers to. Their homes floor plan is well designed. There are two separate indoor areas for comfortable seating on the first floor. The kitchen, which lies in between those two areas, is large and well stocked with an island that yells "cook here tonight!" The dining room table seats 6-8 and overlooks the gorgeous back yard. We are a retired couple, and fairly flexible in the booking arena. We love to visit DC in the fall for the explosion of color, the cool outdoor temperatures and nightly fires in the family room's fireplace. This vacation week we identified as our 'cultural time out' and it was spent without the intrusion of the various news sources. It was grand. (But we are also tossing around the idea of returning next summer too. I expect that the summertime would also be a fun explore. I am rather intrigued by the local drive-in!) There are so many things to do and see. Lots of little shops and restaurants to explore. Also a terrific representation of local artists. As a couple of our Cincinnati friends commented, "this is definately NOT your usual Door County property - this is g o r g e o u s!" -- as a side bar to that comment, the couple has owned a summer home in Sister Bay for 25+ years. We agree - do yourself a favor and make a reservation. You'll be happy you did!

Carraig Mor Cottage Is Extraordinary

Our family's week at Carraig Mor last month exceeded all expectations. While the cootage and grounds were exactly as advertised, only actually being there tells the whole story. Can think of no real negatives as long as you do not mind going to the town library for wifi connection. Martina could not have been more helpful.

Our family truly enjoyed our visit to Carraig Mor. The location is perfect. It's close enough to downtown Bailey's Harbor to walk to a restaurant or coffee shop. The house was very clean and comfortable. The garden and property is a beautiful in person as it is in the pictures on this website. The owner was very helpful in recommending places to go in Door County. The only downside to this property is that linens are not provided. It's a lot to pack sheets and towels for a family. Otherwise, I would recommend this property to anyone who wants to visit the quieter side of the peninsula and wants a beautiful, comfortable house to stay in.

Another wonderful vacation at Carraig Mor. We enjoyed reading on the porch, walks to Yum Yum tree, and coffee with the hummingbirds in the morning. Thank you for keeping the house so well stocked for people, like me, with children. The kids appreciated the tire swing, balls and toys that you keep there. We never had to find a park -- everything was right there. This place is just what the doctor ordered -- comfortable, clean, and relaxing.

My family and I enjoyed a beautiful week in Door County with lovely, spacious accommodations! We have teenage boys so we did lots of swimming, hiking and biking. Loved the Cana Lighthouse tour. My mother accompanied us so the girls also took advantage of the Door County shopping. We did have most meals at home because of the chef's kitchen and of course the view of the amazing garden. After dinner lots of cards on the ample rap-around porch. Just bring a little extra dollars for the daily visit to the Yum-Yum Tree. Loved that it was pet friendly! Owners a delight to work with.

Review Submitted: 08/11/11
Two families shared this home the second week of July and could not be more pleased with the time that we spent there. The two moms are both into gardening and they reached their personal nirvana's when they surveyed the grounds for the first time. We met the gardener who maintains the grounds for the owner and the three of them had a good time talking shop. We had seven people in our party and we did not feel crowded in the home at all. The kitchen is a cook's dream and the seating areas soft and comfortable. The home was immaculately maintained and decorated in inviting colors and fabrics. Having a washer and dryer was helpful in not having to bring home dirty clothes or bring as many items to wear. Our party also included a family pet which was accomodated by the owner with the payment of an additional fee. The home does not have cable TV and cannot pick up local stations via antenna. If you don't want to be out of touch with the rest of the world, this is not the place for you. Four teenage kids (2 boys, 2 girls) were in our group and they got their video fix by watching DVD's and playing X-Box (that we brought with us). The adults watched movies or enjoyed the quiet time to catch up on their reading. Baileys Harbor is a quiet location and the home is only a short walk from its small commercial area and harbor. A well maintained public beach is only a 10 minute walk from the home and you pass the local coffe shop on the way. It is a good central location to explore Door County from as it is a short ride to nearby wineries as well as Fish Creek, Ephraim, Sister Bay and other communities. If Ii could change one thing about our stay it would have been the provision of clean sheets and towels with the home rental. Given the weekly rental fee it would be nice to have clean linens supplied instead of having to bring an entire suitcase full of linens with us.

Felts/Wolfe Family Week

Our family of 8, four in the Felts group, and four in the Wolfe group, enjoyed a delightful week at Carraig Mor Cottage in July. The main level kitchen area was ideal for this family reunion--lots of space for cooking, eating, snacking, visiting, etc. And the gardens were so fine--they read, and played games, and even napped a bit outside. It was like living in a garden park! We all created genuine memories to last a lifetime! A joy-filled stay! Thank you for sharing your welcoming home.

We really enjoyed our stay at Carraig Mor Cottage, it was clean, very comfortable and really lacked for nothing. We were traveling with our 2.5 year old son, and were so pleased to find that the house had toys, high chair, baby gate, and so many other items that helped make our vacation week easy with a little guy. It is impossible to describe the gardens, the pictures really do not do them justice. All in our party loved exploring the huge, and perfectly maintained gardens!!!! The view from the picture window in the family room was gorgeous!!

The property was precisely as described - a lovely home, beautifully decorated and very comfortable, with a fabulous garden, just a block from shopping, the lake and restaurants. The setting was perfect, everything possible was provided, from scrabble to grill tools! - and we cannot rave enough. Thank you, Martina!!

Carraig Mo'r was a delightful vacation spot. It was well suited for our family group of eight which included a married daughter and her husband. The photos don't fully capture the beauty of the garden views...beyond description, almost unreal. The first impression of this home came as we walked in and looked out the living room picture window. It was a living picture right before our very eyes....breathtaking. We enjoyed plenty of space spreading out in the house , on the porch, and in the yard. The yard, also, is larger than the photos convey. Lots of space to play, throw a football, etc. Even though there was plenty of room for us in this home, we often found our children in one of the bedrooms sitting on the beds and telling stories while laughing and enjoying the companionship of each other. A favorite spot...a half block away was the Yum Yum Tree. Daily visits were made here and enjoyed by all, since old fashioned candy, contemporary sweets, chocolates, and caramels are available for purchase in single quantities. We were able to sample small amounts often without feeling compelled to finish a bag of sweets at a time. Another spot we visited twice was the Cornerstone Pub. It is a family friendly place with a cheery hostess, wonderful service, and reasonable prices. The other family favorite spot in town was the marina, also within a short walking distance from the house. Anglers, old and young, serious and casual, can be seen here. One man even offered our son his fishing pole for a couple of hours! Shopkeepers in town were very friendly and welcoming. Not one disappointing experience in this regard. Baileys Harbor is a jewel on the Door County Peninsula....a quiet spot on the lake side with all the amenities and interests without the hubbub of tourists and traffic on the bay side. We took advantage of some of the bay side offerings...an easy drive to that side of the peninsula for groceries, Segway tours, shopping, golfing, etc. Our vacation at Carraig Mo'r and Baileys Harbor can best be summarized by my husband's enthusiastic comment, "This was the most relaxing vacation I have ever had."
