The location was great, right on the water and an easy drive to downtown sturgeon bay. There is a great porch, rock beach, and deck to enjoy the lake.

It was peaceful and quiet. Reminded us of going up North as kids. Picked it to get away from the city and did not disappoint.

The location was perfect, our son was participating in the Door County Half Iron Man. We particularly liked the lakefront deck where we enjoyed pelicans flying by.

Rustic cabin, very clean, fantastic location right on the water. Enjoy the fire each night fit the bill perfectly. However, the management team did not do a good job for the owners.

Loved the location; the view was perfect; the property was clean; it’s small and rustic - but it worked for my mom, myself and our dog very well. Would stay here again just for the view.

We rented this cottage to celebrate our 25th anniversary, it was perfect. Loved the location and rocky beach for sunsets. So cool to read about family history of the place, several pictures hanging in bathroom of cottage being built and family spending time there. Cottage was built in 50s but maintained well and clean.
If you're looking for a cozy, charming cabin this is it. We truly enjoy ourselves here. The views are amazing here. Loved watching the sunset ever night from our private deck right on the water:)
