Greg, that combination of seclusion and easy access to everything is genuinely hard to find, so it is great to hear it worked for your trip. Hope to have you back whenever you need that same breathing room.
The property was quiet, clean, well maintained. The property is about 15 minutes from Sister Bay which gives you the best of both worlds, a bustling little town and peace and quiet once your day is done. The house was well equipped with everything we required for our stay. The living area was spacious and accommodated 5 adults, 2 kids, and 2 dogs very well. The deck was a wonderful add on to outdoor living space. The owners were quick to respond via email of via phone. Would definitely stay at this location again.

Amy, fitting five adults, two kids, and two dogs comfortably into a living space is no small feat, and the deck extending that room outdoors makes the whole setup work. A quiet retreat within easy reach of Sister Bay is a combination worth coming back to.
This is an amazing, up to date, and spacious property; great for families. It was decorated beautifly, very clean with all the amenities needed. I would highly recomend it for anyone wanting to stay outside the busy towns which can get congested. The hosts were wonderful !

David left everything in great shape, we would definitely welcome them back to stay with us again!
Our recent stay exceeded all expectations. The home was clean, thoughtfully furnished, and offered every amenity we could need for a relaxing getaway. We especially appreciated the comfortable beds and quiet surroundings, which made for peaceful nights and restful mornings.The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our visit, making us feel truly welcome from the start. The location was perfect—close to local attractions yet tucked away enough to feel private and serene. We loved spending time in the screened gazebo, enjoying meals and evenings together.In short, our experience was wonderful, and we would gladly return or recommend this property to friends and family seeking a memorable vacation.
The space was great for a family trip with lots of areas to gather and catch up. The location was close to local food options, though did require a car for getting around. It was well decorated and modern. Bring bug spray, as there were lots of ticks on our summer trip even just at the edge of the wooded area. We are hoping to come back in the future!
The house was absolutely beautiful! So clean and comfortable. Plenty of fresh linens with comfortable beds. Outdoor space was also great. Can’t say enough about this rental-more than we hoped for. Communication was fantastic as well!
