This property was very nice! Beautiful home, clean, and laid out nicely to spend time gathering with family. The hot tub was a nice added feature. It's location was perfect.
The property was wonderful and plenty of space for our large group. Very clean and nicely decorated. Beds were comfortable and I’m pretty picky. Located close to the town. Beautiful views of the water from the second floor. They were very responsive when I had questions. I would definitely recommend this place and choose it again.
Perfect place for a large group! Not walking distance to town but lovely home and garden.

Thank you so much, Sophie! I’m glad to hear the home and garden were a great fit for your large group. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us and hope you had a wonderful time. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back again in the future!
The host was an excellent communicator, and responded to every question I had, promptly and helpfully. The house was in a very peaceful neighborhood, just north of Sister Bay. It was very clean, very quiet, and very well appointed. The kitchen was beautiful and had everything we needed. The hot tub was lovely to have as well and the kids really enjoyed it. Parking was right next to the house. Our family wouldall be very happy to return to this home!

Thank you for staying with us, Cathy! We’re glad you enjoyed your time and found it to be a great place. We work hard to provide a clean, comfortable, and welcoming experience for every guest. We truly appreciate you choosing our home and would love to host you again.
This is a beautiful home and plenty of room for 2 dogs and our family of 9 including 3 toddlers. We were close enough to downtown to walk to (with stroller) and not have to search for parking. The young ones were in bed early. The adults were able to enjoy the backyard deck and fire. The dining table was large enough for us to eat together and play games at. We rented on a holiday weekend so the prices on all VRBO were higher, which was is normal, but a bit more than Iexpected. I would rent again. You get your money's worth off season.

The house is beautiful and as described. We had 9 people, and it fit us perfectly!Couple of things to bear in mind. This house does have a later check in (4pm) and and earlier check out (10am), we tried to check in early, but Tom said it wasn't possible due to the back to back bookings. - the gas grill igniter didn't work- but we were able to manually start the grill- the cover of the hot tub is broken, easy to get off, bit more difficult to get on. We definitely enjoyed our stay and would come back!

Thank you so much for your detailed review, Jenny! We’re delighted to hear that you found the house beautiful and as described, and that it was a great fit for your group of nine.
We appreciate you sharing the notes about the grill igniter and hot tub cover. We’re glad you were still able to enjoy the grill, and we’ll be sure to keep these items in mind as we continue making improvements to the property. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the 4 PM check-in due to the back-to-back bookings.
Most importantly, we’re happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and would come back! We’d love to host you and your group again in the future.
Overall very nice property & Tom was very responsive. Would definitely stay again. The bunks are a little wiggly - might not be good for someone that isn’t a smaller child but we just moved one of the mattresses to the floor! The layout of the house was amazing for multiple families staying. Also, soooo many dishes and utensils. Not to mention they have the easiest check out policies, you don’t see that anymore. 10/10

This house was perfect for our girls weekend in DoCo! Plenty of space for everyone to sleep and so close to nearby favorite spots. Owner was so quick to respond to any questions we had. Will definitely look to stay again for our next girls weekend!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the house and found it well-equipped and ideally located. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
My family enjoyed our stay at Cherry Hill! The house is lovely and spacious. It was near enough to downtown to walk for a special coffee. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and a wide range of spices were provided. Our two dogs loved the big back yard. Tom responded to questions promptly. You will make happy Door County memories with your loved ones at Cherry Hill!

Deborah, we appreciate the perfect score. It is great to know the walk to downtown worked for coffee runs, the kitchen and spice selection suited your meals, and the large back yard made the dogs happy. Thanks for mentioning our quick communication. Come back to Cherry Hill anytime.
We had a group of 11 staying here. Single guys and families. The house was big enough to accommodate everyone and their needs. The house was pretty clean. The backyard is really nice with lots of space. The distance to the downtown area of Sister Bay is just a few minutes drive. It was easy to get to. Tom was very responsive and easy to work with. We would definitely stay here again.

Thanks so much for the great review,
Nicole ! I'm glad the home had the space and layout to comfortably fit your whole group, and that you enjoyed the backyard and location. It was a pleasure hosting you all, and I’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
We stayed at the beginning of October, just as the colors were starting to change. It was beautiful in Door county and we were able to enjoy so much of it because of the location we stayed.
This house has been well cared for, updated well, very clean and plenty of space. Our host Tom was very responsive when needed, which was more of a convenience message than a necessity. I have no complaints and will consider this house again if staying in Door county again.

Thank you for your kind words, Theresa! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of Door County and that our home provided a comfortable and convenient base for your trip. It's great to know that you appreciated the space, cleanliness, and our responsiveness. We'd love to welcome you back whenever you're in the area again!
Our group had an amazing weekend stay at this property! Everything in the pictures and description was accurate, and the house was beautiful and clean. Good location, as it was a mile from the main strip of Sister Bay, which was easily walkable. We also appreciated the opportunity to bring our dog for the weekend - Door County is very dog friendly and the yard was great for her. The place was stocked with towels, bedding, toiletries, and kitchenware. The only minor complaint is that a few pots did not work on the stove top (it seemed like it could not detect them so the burner would not stay on). Overall, highly recommend this spot! Thank you :)

Thank you for the fantastic review,
Cassie! We're so glad to hear that you had an amazing stay and enjoyed the house and location. We're also happy to hear that your dog had a great time!
Regarding the issue with the pots not working on the stove, we've already addressed this by checking the cookware to ensure compatibility with the stovetop, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
We’d love to have you stay again in the future! Thanks again for the kind words.
This home worked really well for our family. The kitchen is updated, large, and well stocked. We had everything that we needed. The bathrooms are updated and the showers are very nice, with hot water and a good force. The large kitchen table worked well for playing board games. The living room is separated from the family room, which is nice for someone who wants to be in a quieter area. TV's are large and there are several. The owner was very responsive. We had to contact him for something and we got an immediate response. He was very accommodating. The yard is nice, there is plenty of room for parking, and the house is in a peaceful and quiet area. We would definitely recommend this home and would stay here again.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for such a thoughtful and detailed review, Peter. We’re thrilled to hear the home worked so well for your family and that the updated kitchen, bathrooms, and spacious layout helped make your stay comfortable and enjoyable.
It’s wonderful that the large table, separate living spaces, and multiple TVs gave everyone room to relax and have fun, and we’re glad the yard and peaceful setting added to the experience. We also truly appreciate your kind words about our responsiveness - guest comfort and communication are always top priorities for us.
We’d be honored to host you again and are grateful for your recommendation.
The house was in a great location very close to Sister Bay, perfect for our family of 12 guests. We had a great time at Al Johnson's to see the goats and eat Swedish Pancakes, and headed to the beach across the street. We enjoyed gelato at Door County Creamery, and the kids loved Sister Bowl for bowling! We headed to secret Pebble Beach which was just gorgeous, and enjoyed Putt-Putt and golf carts nearby. The house was immaculate, and tastefully decorated and the host was
very responsive. There is a separate cleaning charge with the VRBO as listed in the description. There is plenty of room to move around in a very well laid out open concept house. The fire pit was a great addition, as well as the jacuzzi. They had a small children's playhouse in the back and a basketball hoop. The kitchen had anything you would need for a large group and was so well stocked. There were plenty of paper towels and even the shampoo and conditioner smelled so great. I would bring some extra towels for the beach, etc. other than that it has everything you would need for an awesome time. Thank you so much, Tom. We had such great memories made at Cherry Hill !
