My husband and I, along with our little puggle, Gizmo, greatly enjoyed the comfy cottage in Bailey's Harbor. The back yard was so convenient for the dog, and the cottage kitchen comes very nicely equipped for cooking. It was so nice to have essentials waiting so not everthing had to be packed. It's almost having your own place. Location is just a short walk to the harbor, restaurants, shops, and even the morning paper. We would recommend this very clean, neat and peaceful location for a vacation.

Our rental of Carriag Beag was our first through VRBO; and also our first visit to Door County. The home was just as described; and the owners couldn't have been any more helpful or friendly. The home was spotless, pleasantly decorated, and easily accommodated a family of 4 with two teens, and Grandma, too! Very well situated for either walking to Bailey's Harbor restaurants, coffee shops, or ice cream parlor; or getting to any Door County location quickly - most often well under a 20 minute drive. The baskets of Door County magazines and brochures was very helpful. Although we found too many restaurants to choose from, when we did eat in, we found everything we needed in the kitchen. It's evident this owner takes pride in their rentals -- and they should!

We stayed a week at Martina's house in Baileys Harbor. The house itself was lovely and comfortable. Its location was convenient to everything we did in Door County. We enjoyed being able to walk into town whenever we wanted. We have a multi-generational family, and house worked well for that as well. Also, we have dogs, and our vacation suited them just right as well!. We look forward to renting with Martina again, who also has other rental properties. She was pleasant to deal with, and very fair! Thanks Again.

We had a wonderful time at the cottage, very convenient for exploring Door County and also for walking into town. It was the annual "Scottie dog" parade while we were there in May, the best parade we have seen in years. The cottage is extremely comfortable and clean and is so well equipped it is like "home from home" We have also stayed at Carraig Mor, equally as good, a larger cottage with an amazing garden , a must see and so relaxing . Martina is a wonderful host and so easy to work with, nothing is too much trouble. The whole family look forward to our next visit

Great Home, Great Location!

My husband and I, our teenage children, and our lovable lab decided to take a family trip up to Door County for the long weekend. The cottage was perfect! Super clean, very accommodating, and nicely decorated. Being a very busy weekend, the other towns were over crowded, but Bailey's Harbor was a perfect location. The cottage is seriously walking distance to everything! Great little backyard for kids and dog! I would highly recommend this home for other families!

We had a perfect time at the Carraig Beag Cottage. Our group of 2 grandparents, 2 parents and two kids under the age of 3 all thought that the cottage was PERFECT. Everything we could have needed was there. Baileys Harbor was the perfect quiet town for our family getaway -- A quick walk into town or the library and a 3 minute drive to a great beach. We enjoyed all of the comforts provided in the cottage from baking equipment to a great grill. It allowed us to eat our breakfasts and lunches in the cottage and venture out to the nearby towns for dinner. I would highly recommend this rental to families and others alike. Martina was great to work with an very hospitable. A vacation to remember!

We stayed for 10 days at the cottage and it was the perfect place for a large extended family to enjoy much fun together. We loved all the small touches that the owners provided: toys, movies, pack and plays, books, etc. It was very clean but comfortable enough to not be worried that the kids would ruin or bother the cottage. The yard is great for running, playing ball and enjoying the weather. The proximity to the park, marina, ice cream, and restaurants was priceless as we never had to load into cars to enjoy a morning, afternoon or evening out. I would recommend this home to anyone looking to enjoy time away from the daily grind and pure relaxation in one of the most beautiful places ever!

Our stay at the house was great. We had plenty of room. Everything was well appointed. There were no issues. For a fisherman like myself it could not have been any better to be 2 blocks from the marina. We are recommending this kind of vacation to all of our friends.

We stayed at Carraig Beag over the New Year holiday and had a wonderful time. The cottage was immaculate and everything is so new! The kitchen is open and roomy, and there is a nice laundry room next to it. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, but just a short walk to area restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.
