This was the perfect place for my wife and I and my parents to spend the week exploring Door County. It was well kept and just as the listing stated. It is easy to get to, and having my morning coffee watching the sunrise over the canal was great! The decor was warm and welcoming and we felt at home and relaxed right away. The host was responsive and easy to communicate with. We would stay here again!

We had a fun family getaway to experience the beauty of Door County. The house was very welcoming, clean and comfortable. It is located in a quiet area to enjoy relaxing nights sitting outside. Friendly neighbors too. If we had any questions, John & Susan were quick to respond, I definitely recommend this little gem in Sturgeon Bay.

We LOVED staying at this adorable “Fun Flat”, everything was perfect and exactly how it was described by the owners. We never ran into any issues, it was spotless and well stocked. Actually gave me some decorating ideas. Easy access and a quiet area. Bed was very comfortable and loved having a full kitchen and private laundry. Thank you so much Susan and John for allowing us to enjoy your sweet home. We had a great stay and my husband enjoyed his birthday getaway.
Sunrise across from our vacation place. Just gorgeous
Loved the little outside lights. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the front porch.

Lovely stay in Sturgeon Bay

Very tastefully decorated, well-appointed, and clearly room for seven. Very well equipped for kitchen and bath. Would have liked for there to be more within walking distance, but otherwise a nice base for touring Door County.
