My husband and I stayed here for our 45th anniversary and it couldn't have been better. The cottage had everything we needed and then some. It's beautifully decorated and the view is spectacular. The hosts attention to detail is phenomenal. The location is great! It's close to everything Door County has to offer without all the hustle and bustle. We really enjoyed listening to the old albums on the turntable and the fun welcome basket filled with local treats. Thank you Tom and Polly for sharing this gem with us. We hope to be back soon!

Loved our stay! Private, quiet, beautiful lake views, retro styling, clean. Close to Sturgeon Bay. 30-60 min drive to other Door County destinations, but easy driving. One of our favorite VRBO stays ever!

The pictures don’t do this place justice. Was the perfect place to stay along Green Bay for our family of 4. Owners are quick to respond and worked quickly with us when we had to adjust our arrival date. Cabin is an easy 10-15 min drive into Sturgeon Bay. Had great sunset views, kayaks that we took into the nearby bay, and all the amenities needed for the stay. Kids asked if we could come back again someday.

Charming retreat

I’ve always loved an A-frame and this one was a perfectly decorated mid century modern home. So much nostalgia. The location was perfect and the view was stunning. We were able to visit each town on the peninsula knowing we had this great home to return to at the end of the day.

Our stay at the A-Frame on the Bay was fantastic!My wife and two young daughters had a great time at the cottage and we cannot wait to come back. As frequent visitors to Door County, we often stay in different spots along the bay side, and we can say with confidence this was the most beautiful location we have ever stayed at. The cottage is as picturesque as it looks and to be fair the photos online don't do it justice. Polly and Tom have really thought of pretty much everything when it comes to your stay. That includes life jackets and a grill with charcoal, to fishing poles and beach chairs for folks to use and share. The views were beautiful, my young (6 and 7 year old) daughters loved the water and cliffs. We even caught a small smallmouth off the pier! Tom and Polly were responsive and communicable when needed and our stay was lovely. While not an issue, there is no Wi-Fi at the house. So for everyone that is perpetually plugged in like me, you'll need to prepare accordingly. (I was able to read an entire book this weekend instead!)Everything was great, if we get the chance to stay again when we come back we certainly will!

The Coziest Getaway

We had the most incredible stay here in the fall! The A-frame was straight out of a movie set, adorned with the most perfect details making it feel like our home away from home (but better). The place was very clean and had everything we could possibly need. We loved having the records playing at all times of day whether we were enjoying our coffee or wine! Thank you for hosting us - our trip definitely would not have been the same without this quintessential destination!

Quiet Weekend

We just spent 3 nights at this lovely A-Frame. The view from the cabin is spectacular. The bed was comfortable and the cabin was nice and clean. The firepit and swing are a real treat to watch the sunset from. Having WiFi would have been nice as we had a work emergency and had to go to a coffee shop in town as ATT's coverage in the area is terrible.

An Absolute Dream Property!

The A-Frame on the Bay was the perfect size for my little family: myself, my husband, and our 10 year-old son. It was perfectly clean, cozy and fabulous. From the stunning midcentury modern decor to the outstanding lake views, we were blown away. Thank you for making this very special property available for people to rent! We can’t wait to come back.

Water and sunsets

Beautiful secluded spot on the bay. Easy travel to the beautiful Door County fall leaves. A gift of nature was the daylong blustering wind, watching the waves come on shore and the gulls soar and dive. Then the fire of an October sunset! Awesome…
