Amazing location! Fabulous views - the yard was perfect for the dogs! House is on a quiet residential street so we were able to take the dogs on walks and it was so safe. Communication was great from host!

We had a good stay. The property was fairly clean - though we did find ticks inside, but I guess that’s the nature of the area. The bugs outdoors were pretty bad, we didn’t spend as much time outdoors as we would have liked and the outdoor furniture had not been cleaned before our arrival (covered in spider webs and debris), so we didn’t use them. No AC in the home, but they do provide you with a few fans. The water is very shallow and rocky, but we wanted to get in the lake either way - only regretted that we didn’t bring water shoes. But it’s definitely not safe for kids. Overall our stay was okay, but I do think the property is way overpriced. We only booked it because we had Vrbo Care after another owner canceled on us. Ordinarily I would not have booked this place at full price, but the options are slim during the summer season.

Tranquility Bay

The view is amazing, watched the sunrise every morning. We were lucky the weather was in the mid 70's in July, there is no A/C at this rental so keep that in mind when choosing this location.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate you sharing your experience with the property. The stunning views and favorable weather during your stay sound lovely. Your feedback about the lack of air conditioning is helpful for future guests to consider when booking and hope the call out of the fans being available in the listing description help as well. Thank you again for your time and for staying with us.

Quiet,peaceful, private location

Owners provided full details by email the week before our stay. The home was clean and all the amenities were provided for pleasant lake house stay. The WiFi and satellite TV was easy and straightforward to access. The Lake Michigan side of Door County is less busy and the best area to unwind and relax.

Great location but..

Cleanliness was a big issue, it was very apparent throughout. Communication to check in was okay, got instructions with some grace time before our trip. Keep in mind location is phenomenal and secluded, but at the same time food locations are few and far between (which makes sense).

The home was nice and the area private and quiet. It took many phone calls to check in and then had to call again to get an access code. NOTHING was sent prior to the stay.

Hi Susan, we thank you for sharing your concerns on the check in process and experience. We take reviews very seriously and want to note that we can see the emailed check in packet was sent in advance of your stay, however it could have landed in a spam folder perhaps. We hope to have an opportunity to host you again and ensure a 5 star stay experience!

A Relaxing Weekend

We really enjoyed the views from this location. It was very quiet and peaceful and private. When we arrived a Bald Eagle soared above us. We skipped rocks, and swam, and fished. We had bonfires, and laughed, and listened to music. The drive to Sister Bay is less than 10 minutes, and a straight shot, making it super easy to visit the beach, shops, and restaurants. The "cabin" has been updated and is nice. There is no air conditioning, but the breeze from the lake makes sleeping just fine. We would stay at this location again.

Room for 3 not 6

Property has beautiful view and yard. Common space inside is very small. No table, 3 stools and room for 3 in living room. Cross your fingers for good weather. Definitely no room for 6 on a rainy day.

I will say the view of the lake and the outside yard with fire pit was amazing. It was a very private location but a just a few minutes from restaurants and stores At first glance somewhat clean, the furniture could use a good cleaning or it’s time to get new. The dishes were totally disgusting!! We fixed that problem by washing them. Thank god for paper towels as there were NO dish rags or dish towels any where that we could find.Our last day there we decided to just hang out at the property play yard games and swim. We were lucky enough to bring one yard game with us. And after that made up our own games as the corn hole and outdoor games they claimed they had were also no where to be found!!We were also lucky enough to check the grill before we went shopping for supper as there was not enough gas. Asked if there was an extra tank. Was told there was on the patio but we never did find it.The management was very quick at responding to us and I did let them
