Walk to downtown Fish Creek and Peninsula State Park!

We really enjoyed our stay in Fish Creek. Diane and Leif are so nice and easy to communicate with. (The neighbors were very nice too:) It was great having a kitchen and sitting area - way better than a hotel. All the great spots are in walking distance - Blue Horse, Wild Tomato, the beach, and many more. We will be back!

First time in Door County. Anniversary trip and had heard great things about Fish Creek. Location of cottage provided perfect home base for all of our walking, shopping, eating and bicycling adventures. Quiet and relaxing place to get away. Loved it!!

Great location.

Let me start out by saying that the location of this place is great. It's walking distance to the downtown restaurants, shops, and bars. It's also walking distance to the peninsula state park to the Wild Tomato which is our favorite place to eat in door county.

The unit is very nice as far as the way that it's decorated (other than the occasional Packer souvenir). The layout was a little strange that the shower is separate from the bathroom and located in the bedroom with no door or anything.

The issue that we had was the dampness of the unit; it had the feeling of a bedroom that's in a basement of an older home. There was a slight musty smell too that the cleaning crew attempted to cover up with a lot of air freshener. There is a dehumidifier in the unit but it was never actually running. After two days I changed its settings to turbo and continuous modes and then it started worked. We could feel and a change in the moisture level and the reservoir would fill and need to be emptied. I think a better dehumidifier is needed and should be set up for continuous drain to avoid having to empty the reservoir.

Overall, our stay in this unit was ok but I would probably look for a different place next time to avoid the moisture issue. My wife has allergies and they flared up a bit once we arrived in the unit. If the owner can address the issue, then the place would be great.

Generally, the cottage was nice, but quite small. It’s advertised to sleep four and, while technically correct as they have two queen-sized beds in the bedroom, there’s not much room for anything but those beds and a few dressers in the bedroom. For just the two of us, it was very tight. Generally, we can’t see any way four adults could share that space without feeling like sardines. The bathroom barely fits one, let alone four who might be brushing hair and teeth and applying make-up in the morning. And the shower/tub area is directly attached to the bedroom with no divider or doorway; no privacy whatsoever. Beyond that, there were no instructions for the TV besides a photocopy indicating which was the on/off button—no channel guide. The hosts asked that the cottage be cleaned at the end of our stay, a bit demanding considering their rate. However, they did not provide adequate cleaning supplies—no Soft Scrub for cleaning the stovetop, no dish soap, no broom. The “fully stocked” kitchen, in addition to lacking dish soap, had a container of Morton’s salt sitting in the cupboard since the turn of the century by its appearance.

The kicker, though, came on our first full day when we informed our hosts the Internet was not working through their wireless network and we were instructed by them to call the cable company ourselves. We understand she was busy at that moment, but we said we’d be out most of the day and didn’t need immediate resolution. Nevertheless, we had to cut our morning short to go back and get the Internet connectivity issue resolved. As hosts ourselves in our own home, asking my guest to fix a problem like that is an absolutely no-no.
