This is our second year staying in the Panorama Guest House. We absolutely love it. The views are truly amazing - sitting in the living room, you see nothing but water. The guest house had everything we needed. The location is excellent. We biked, kayaked, paddle boarded, toured the peninsula, and ate great food. We had a wonderful vacation.

Peaceful, quiet, million dollar view

This guest cottage was super clean, well stocked so all you need to bring is food and your clothes. It is tastefully decorated with amazing views of the bay with absolutely breathtaking sunsets. It is the perfect combination of seclusion and location. It is not far from the quaint harbor towns that dot the peninsula. We loved staying here.

Great vacation spot!

We truly enjoyed our stay. It was a lovely spot, right on the water. Falling asleep and waking up to the waves was delightful! We were able to rent a Kayak and paddle board which we used frequently. The property was great and Bill was very responsive and accommodating. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a quiet spot away from the more touristy areas.

Charming guest house

We really enjoyed are stay. Nice outdoor space and deck right on the water. We were fortunate to see the Northern Lights from the deck one evening. Location was great, only 10-45 minutes to everything. I wish our schedule would have allowed at least 1 day to relax at the house. Would stay here again.

We wanted something private and romantic for our 30th Anniversary and we found this place. Although it was cold and rainy while we were here it was still so very peaceful and enjoyable. We have been looking for a place like this to vacation at and we were extremely pleased and will definitly be back.

Great view, and location

The house was very clean, plenty of towels, etc. Nice and quiet, the back deck is maybe 20' from the water's edge (2nd floor), so having the dual sliding doors open was really nice to be able to listen to the waves, and enjoy the breeze. Door County Coffee is five minutes up the road if you're looking for a good cup of coffee in the morning. Overall everything was pretty nice. We would stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Koenen

Host profile image
We bought our Door County property many years ago. The view and perfect approach to the water sold us on the location. We've been residing at our house and renting the adjacent guest house ever since, enjoying every minute.

Why they chose this property

The location is ideal--on the Bay shore just 1 1/2 miles north of Little Harbor exactly halfway between Sturgeon Bay and Egg Harbor on County trunk B...also called Bay Shore Drive. Entertainment and Shopping is 3 to 8 miles away in any direction.

What makes this property unique

The Panorama guest house deck is everyone's favorite spot. The comfortable deck furniture is a great place to observe the shoreline's beautiful scenery and sunsets. The deck is built overlooking the water, so a person can have a sweeping view up and down the Bay. Look across the water to both Michigan and Wisconsin shores. The guest house is always comfortable...air conditioned for summer's hot days, centrally heated for Spring and Fall. Current novels, Andy Rash's children's books and Door County history books are on the bookshelf. Maps,tourist literature, DVD's and CD's are in the living room.
