Relaxing in Door County

Are stay at this location was beautiful and relaxing. Being right on the lake, and having amazing view to seeing the stars at night was so breathtaking. The jetted tub in Vrbo was perfect to relax and warm up during such a cold time to stay.

Fantastic location

Location of the property was fantastic. We really appreciated being close to, but also being able to escape the busyness of other areas like Sister Bay. Loved listening to the waves and looking out over the water from the deck.

Our favorite VRBO!

We enjoyed our stay in Gills Rock, as always! Communication with Dan and Gretel is easy and they are very responsive. The property is great for just the 2 of us, with a simple kitchen that makes having a few meals in convenient. Love the location right on the water, so it is easy to head out for a paddle in Hedgehog Harbor.

Best location on the peninsula!

Incredible sunsets! We were really able to unplug from life and enjoy. We biked, hiked, kayaked and went to Washington island and a couple of state parks. Cannot beat this location! We don’t like the tourist trap vibe of fish creek. Sisters Bay was enough and close by. Feel so lucky to have found this place!
