My family of four stayed at Five Birches this last August while traveling with my sister-in-law's family of four and her two parents. We were looking for a house where we could all stay together, have the cousins play together, cook together, and just hang out together when we were not sightseeing. This was the perfect place! When we drove up, we couldn't believe how beautiful the house and the property were. Everything about the way the house was built and the furnishings in it was quality and we loved spending the week in such surroundings--yet the house also had such a homey feel. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for us. We each had a room and the two girl cousins shared the adorable bedroom with twin beds and the boy cousins slept in the loft with all the games and TV. The beds were unbelievably comfortable and the house extremely clean. The house was stocked with everything you could ever need or want. They even had ibuprofen. They had everything you would ever need for cooking in the kitchen and a beautiful Keurig coffee maker as well as a regular coffee pot. We looked forward to hanging out when we got "home" at the end of the day. The view out the living room window (a great wall of glass) was beautiful. They made a wood chip path down to a fire pit out back and we had a wonderful campfire there (wood complimentary). The owner, Todd, was very professional yet extremely nice as well. He text us just after we checked in to make sure all was well. He had emailed us a booklet about the house and the area with tons of info about activities and restaurants etc. The location of the house was perfect. We drove all around Door County the week we stayed there and Fish Creek would have been our first choice even after seeing the rest of the area. We were very central to everything and there was a lot to do in Fish Creek itself. We were super close to Penninsula State Park where we rented kayaks and spent time on the beach. It was an easy drive to the Lake Michigan side of the penninsula too. There we rented a boat in Bailey's Harbour and snorkeled over a ship wreck and had lunch at PC Junction which is a great place for kids. We viewed the meteor shower in Newport State Park one night, attended a fish boil at the White Gull Inn, wine and cheese tasted, and took a day trip to see Lambeau stadium and the Green Bay Packers head to practice via riding kid's bikes to the practice venue. We would love to come back!
