We were thrilled with the views especially and the proximity to Sturgeon Bay. It was the best of both worlds. The house was well appointed and we really enjoyed use of the kayaks during a warm, calm September afternoon. Communication was very thorough and timely. A lovely weekend on Glidden!

We loved this house and our stay. It had everything we could have needed, tons of towels, kitchen had everything we needed and it was spotless when we arrived. The beach next to the deck was great for the kids. We loved our stay and we definitely plan to stay there again!

Great family beach house!

Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed our time staying at this house! The home was so comfortable and welcoming, we felt like we were staying with family, and the owners were very accommodating. We loved being able to step right out the door to the beach anytime we wanted! Lots of great family time!!

A Wonderful Place to Stay!

This is a great property! Located right on the lake, with a beautiful view, very clean and well stocked. We traveled with 7 children and they had everything we could possibly need already in the house. Highly recommended!

We are so glad your family enjoyed their stay! Thank you for the review. Having a child ourselves and lots of family that often stay with us when we travel to the lake, we feel it's important to have a well stocked house. It's helps cut down on packing and makes it feel like a home away from home. Keep us in mind for for future trips to Door County!

Absolutely beautiful property with gorgeous lake views and a beautiful sandy beach. Very easy to access and everything was as described in the property description. Response from the owner was very prompt and professional. Highly recommend and especially for families with children; although we did not need it during our stay, there were a lot of kid friendly amenities, like a highchair, crib, toys, and books.
