This property is magical. We saw an eagle, shooting stars, and so many cormorants. The lake soothed us to sleep every night. We had a group of 3 adults and 5 kids and everyone had space. The kitchen table is perfect for game nights. It’s hard to describe how integrated the property feels with the surroundings. It was exquisite.

Great Place

Our family had a great stay at Porte Haven. The view really can't be beat. The house is very unique, especially each of the bathrooms. It had a high end feel throughout. We loved using the pool table, dart board, and gameboard area. The layout of the house was also really cool with lots of interesting and unique spaces thoughout. The hosts were great at communicating and responding to any questions right away. We will definitely be taking a look at more of this hosts properties for future trips.

What a beautiful place! We loved our quiet and peaceful stay here over the Thanksgiving holiday. This place is unique, spacious, clean, warm and cozy, has amazing views, and so much more. I especially loved the fact that the furniture was comfortable and high quality - none of the cheap stuff you find in so many bnbs these days. The hosts were super welcoming and communicative, and made sure we had all that we needed for our little getaway. Thanks so much for an amazing stay!

Bucket List Vacation

Visiting Door County was a bucket list item for my visiting family and they were not disappointed 😊. Porte Haven was a beautiful property with a fantastic view. I have a son that has mobility issues and the main floor of the house was accessible to him. I really appreciated being able to bring him and have him enjoy family time 😊. He loves boats and watching the Washington Island Ferry was entertaining to him. It was close to a beautiful state park, Ellison Bay and obviously the ferry! If we had an issue Jeremy and Caitlin were a text away. We would, and hopefully will stay with them again someday.
