Cozy, quiet, and perfectly tucked away — yet still close to Sister Bay and the Washington Island ferry. A wonderful spot to relax and recharge!

Another fabulous stay at the Goddess Door! We have been coming to Door County with our children for over a decade, and this is hands-down our favorite property to stay at. The location is fabulous and the property itself is charming and perfect. Thanks for another wonderful stay!

Great location and well-equipped.

Overall, we had a great stay. The location was perfect. When we were at the house, we spent most of our time in the kitchen. If we stayed here again, it would just be the two of us, because of the sizes of the beds and layout of the bedrooms.

We recently had a wonderful family getaway at this beautiful property. The property is beautiful, so much outdoor space, plus nice house decor and spacious rooms. The location is perfect and we appreciated the newly renovated kitchen and appliances.

Perfect setup for a couples vacation. My wife likes having a fairly large kitchen when we stay somewhere for a week. She was pleased. The location is private. Close proximity to all-things-Door County. Clean, easily accessible. I recommend this property.

Tranquil Oasis

This property is only a short jaunt to the ferry to Washington Island. The house is set in a lovely and secluded area with outdoor seating, a fire pit, and fruit trees. We even got to watch a porcupine enjoy apples from the apple tree! Inside, the living areas are absolutely lovely--the kitchen being the best!

The house was beautiful. The bushes by the main entrance can be trimmed. The bedrooms could use a fan. We enjoyed our trip thoroughly. Thanks for the host!!!

Great Cabin, Great Location!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We've been coming to Door County for many years, and this is by far our favorite property. The location is ideal, and very quiet and private. We are a family of 6, and we really enjoyed the large outdoor space. The fire pit is lovely, and the kitchen was perfect. We also really liked the small aesthetic touches like the stained glass windows. We really couldn't have had a lovlier stay, and are looking forward to booking this property again next year. Thank you!

We enjoyed staying here for the long MDW weekend! The house is beautiful and spacious and the perfect location relative to most of what Door County has to offer. We enjoyed this property and spending our time in Door County. Our only suggestion would be to have another TV in the primary bedroom; we enjoy winding our nights with a TV show. We would definitely consider coming back to this property with a larger group next time.

Very clean and well stocked, except for no gas in the outdoor grill. Broiled steaks instead, which were delicious.

Our family get away

The property was beautiful and well maintained. Watching deer come and go. Everything inside was clean, we loved the woodwork and kitchen. Couple things i would change, make at least one of the toilets' a high rise, smaller bedroom could definitely use a new mattress and maybe some new bedding throughout including pillows. would be nice if the kitchen had a Keurig. We enjoyed our stay and all wished it could have been longer.
