We had a wonderful stay and the house was lovely. The kitchen was well appointed and stocked with all the necessities cooking and baking. We loved the patio and appreciated the use of the grill as well as the full size washer and dryer. Strong wi-fi, hot showers, and comfortable beds! One of the cleanest properties we’ve rented. Great waterside location for views and relaxing. We also loved the fantastic parks, shops and restaurants in the surrounding Door County area. Don’t skip a traditional fish boil or supper club dinner. Thank you, again!

Wonderful Waterfront Home

Thenell's Beach House was an amazing place to stay!!! It felt like home while we were away on vacation. Everything was exceptional...clean, comfortable, well stocked kitchen, beautifully decorated, spacious bedrooms, great views of the bay from the shared beach area, and a welcoming yard/deck/campfire area. The property management company was very helpful and prompt with a question I had after booking the property. We can't say enough good things about this VRBO property, we would definitely stay here again!
