Nice Stay in a Great Location

Had a wonderful stay with family for a long weekend. House is outfitted nicely and the sauna was a nice bonus. Living room overlooking the lake made for some nice sunsets. Would stay here again in the future.

Soulful Resting

The location of this house lends itself to relaxation, the savoring of beauty, and quiet and peaceful moments. We also had many moments of laughter and fun on the screen in porch, lovely deck by the water and campfire.

Beautiful Property

Barbara has a beautiful property and anyone who rents is lucky to share it. The location is perfect for exploring the sites. We most enjoyed the lavender, fish boil and the beautiful colors. The house is very comfortable and we shared most meals there. I would recommend it!

Wonderful Location & Beautiful Sunsets

This was my family's 1st time visiting Door County. The house was a nice location to venture out from, although because the property was so amazing, it was tempting to just stay in! The location was quiet & peaceful, with excellent views of the lake & gorgeous sunsets. The screened porch was especially nice & the fire pit was wonderful to use. We enjoyed our stay & would love to come back again someday.

Perfect winter weekend

Barbara was accommodating and easy to communicate with. The house and property itself were wonderful… comfortable, beautiful, and included everything you could need.The sauna and wood burning fireplace made it a dreamy winter weekend! We loved the firepit on the lake at sunset time. How special.. thanks for sharing this with us!

Unique design. Very well supplied. Lovely wooded location. A touch far from town (???). But they allowed my little dog! No access to actual national or international news except via wifi. Overall a really nice place to stay.

Anniversary stay

It was extremely memorable in many ways. Wonderful owner! Beautiful sunsets, very remote yet close to all the area's attractions. We had Door Cty almost to ourselves due to COVID-19 so we couldn't actually enjoy that so coming back to this quaint cottage was great! Great sauna, woodburner, and well supplied place. Be sure to read the helpful rules in a photo frame on the hutch-we didn't see it right away....thanks again for everything!!!

Gem in Sturgeon Bay

Beautiful home, very clean, great communication with the owner. We stayed and went ice fishing for Whitefish. Easy access to walk with gear down to the lake. No access for tab yo get on ice but ice wasn’t safe to bring at out. Glad we stayed. Very comfortable. Thank you!

Ford stay

Overall very good and the water location was wonderful. Just an FYI. The shower is very slippery and we never did find out just exactly where the red light was for the holding tank. Other quests said that there was a sulfur smell but we did not experience that at all. Just bring you own Fire stick for the TV.

Wonderful House & Superb Location

My spouse & I and our dog stayed for a week. We’ve stayed in several other houses in Door Co. & this is our favorite. Listening to the waves as we fell asleep & upon wakening, the sunsets & access to the lake were magical. A really pretty & comfortable house with lots of natural light & spectacular views. Surrounding woods are lovely & provide privacy while stores & restaurants are a short drive from the house. The host was also gracious & promptly answered questions. Like other renters, we’d suggest bringing drinking water; unlike other comments, we did not find any odor in the shower. 2 of the bedrooms are on the small size compared to the master bedroom & the loft space is really tiny. No washer or dryer might be a drawback for some. But none of this marred our stay - in fact we’re hoping for a longer stay in this house next year.

Beautiful peaceful vacation home

This is a lovely vacation home, very well maintained. Although there are neighbors nearby, the location feels secluded and is very quiet; the waves on the shore were the only sound at night. We enjoyed sitting on the deck near by the shore, watching terns dive for fish and looking at all the constellations at night. Beautiful location for sunsets over Green Bay. Just a short drive to many Door County towns and attractions. The screen porch was great for breakfasts and dinners on warm days. As others have mentioned, the tap water has a high mineral content, which is typical in Door County. It's perfectly fine for washing and cooking (and drinking, if you don't mind the taste), but you might want to stop and pick up a few gallons of drinking water at the supermarket in Sturgeon Bay on your way there. The kitchen and the rest of the house was well equipped, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a whole week's supply of things like toilet paper, napkins, dishwasher soap, even shampoo and conditioner.

Ed made sure that the house is stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The house is beautiful and the property is secluded enough to feel like no one else is nearby. The waterfront access with the fire pit is so nice for sunrise and sunset. There is also a great fireplace inside for the cold nights. The kitchen had all the utensils needed for us to cook our meals. We will be back again :) thank you!

Unique architecture in an exquisite setting! The property was very clean and well cared for. We enjoyed the deck on the beach for reading, coffee and yoga. It was peaceful and serene — yet about 20 minutes from Egg Harbor. The owner answered all of our questions promptly and was very gracious.

Regular Getaway

This was the 2nd time staying at the GrayGull, and it was just as good as the first. Plenty of comfy beds. TV for late nights. And fantastic sunset views.
