The house was clean and home-y. We enjoyed the seclusion and even saw deer in the backyard. The location was the perfect jumping-off-point for us to explore Washington Island and Rock Island.

Really enjoyed staying at this home, nice deck. The only coffee maker was a K-cup machine so we bought a drip coffee maker at the Sister bay Ace HW store. Quiet location, almost no traffic on the drive in road, convenient to Sister Bay. Wildlife we saw in the yard, a flock of wild turkeys and a doe with her newborn fawn. Would definitely stay here again.

Property location was perfect. Centrally located for our 3 day excursions. Lot location was private and would be perfect for families with children to play in. The house decor is straight from the 80s so I was a little disappointed for the price. It was comfortable enough though. There weren't enough blankets provided but I'm sure management would have given us more if we would have asked. There was only 1 blow-dryer provided and that was dying (burnt smells and the wattage was minimal). Cleanliness was overall good but here was a used washcloth left hanging on the shower rod when we arrived. The top of the dresser in the room with twin beds hadn't been dusted in a long time because I could have written my name in it. The baseboards in the hall bathroom were also unclean.

This property worked well for our family with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. It had all the necessities for a little home away from home. It is like goingback in time a bit. Even the kids enjoyed the quiet secluded location! It was close to all the things we wanted to see, and after the beach we appreciated the washer and dryer!Thanks!
