Had a very peaceful stay at this adorable apartment. The location is very walkable for all of downtown Sturgeon Bay. I was able to take a stroll down to the marina and grab coffee every morning. The decor was eclectic and fun!

Everything was great! Unit is small, but cutely decorated. The shower is a bit small, so probably not a great choice for larger people. The walk to downtown is a little longer than it sounds based on other reviews.

Disliked: Communication
Overall this stay was great! The house fit all our needs for just the two of us, which was great! It is within walking distance to the downtown and many restaurants! We would definitely stay here again. The only issue we had was communication with the host to confirm when check in time was as it is listed on VRBO as 3pm but on the check in instructions as 4pm. I did email to clarify this discrepancy, I was asked where we were staying and then had no further communication from there; we checked in at 3pm and everything was ready to go for us so that was a nice surprise as we were not sure when we could truly check in.

Perfect, cozy stay

We came up to door county to celebrate our anniversary, and the “Crow’s Nest” was absolutely perfect. Very clean, easy access, roomy yet cozy. The decorative fireplace heater apparatus warmed the room up quickly and fully, so it was very comfortable temp-wise, especially for this time of year!Very close to all the goings on in town. Would absolutely stay here again.
