It was an absolute joy to stay at this property! It's perfect for two couples. Very clean, very well stocked and we had a wonderful time enjoying the hot tub, the fire pit and the grill. It was a wonderful, quiet get away yet just a short drive to anywhere we wanted to go for sightseeing or dinner.

4th of July Stay

Wonderful hosts and beautiful home. It's the rare place that's even cleaner and nicer than described in the listing. We had a great few days staying in the home and had no issues at all. The hosts checked in to ensure everything was going smoothly, and the house is very well stocked with anything you might need. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay in Door County.

For anyone wanting to explore Washington Island and the Clearing this is the perfect launching point. As a plus great pub food at Mink River Basin and don’t miss Della Porta for fabulous Italian cuisine. Both within walking distance from the house. House was comfortable for two couples and could have handled two more. Would consider renting again.
