Outside back needed a good pressure washing. It met our needs but could need some updating. Bedroom toward back of house had a very hard mattress.Very uncomfortable.

We're glad the cottage met your needs overall! We're sorry the exterior condition, dated furnishings, and firmness of the back bedroom mattress affected your comfort. Pressure washing is scheduled for October 26, weather permitting, and new furniture and area rugs are expected to arrive in January 2027. The back bedroom mattress was intentionally selected as a firmer option, while the other two bedrooms have medium-firm mattresses. We appreciate your feedback as we continue making improvements for future guests.

Had a very relaxing getaway! The cottage is very cute and has all the amenities you'd need for a great Door County experience. Close to Bailey's Harbor, but still feels secluded and quiet. Enjoyed coffee in the morning sitting at the lake, then just 15-20 mins from Fish Creek and the activities on that side of the peninsula. Highly recommend!

Thank you for sharing such a lovely recap of your stay! We're so glad the cottage felt cute and well-equipped, and that you enjoyed quiet mornings by the lake along with easy access to both Bailey's Harbor and Fish Creek. It sounds like a truly relaxing Door County getaway, and we appreciate you recommending it to others.

Walk out the front door on the shore of Lake Michigan. The cottage is steps away from a Nature Preserve. Far enough from the bustle of Baileys Harbour, but close enough for necessities.

We had a great stay at Wildwood before the start of the summer season. It was very peaceful and to sit outside in view of the lake was wonderful. The couches could be updated as it was a little uncomfortable to sit on after a few hours. Our bed was comfortable and it was nice to have ceiling fans throughout the cottage. Baileys Harbor is a friendly town and we enjoyed the variety of restaurants. Perfect base to get to the other more familiar towns on Hwy 42 and then come home to relax. We appreciated being able to check in sooner than the 6:00 check-in time on the site.

We're so glad you enjoyed the peaceful lake views, comfortable bed, and ceiling fans throughout the cottage! It's wonderful to hear that Baileys Harbor was a great home base for exploring the area and that the early check-in was appreciated. We also appreciate your feedback about the couches and understand that they weren't as comfortable as you'd hoped. We've ordered new living room furniture and area rugs for all rooms, with delivery expected by the end of 2026.

There is a need for maintenance on this property especially on the exterior. Screens and windows had not been cleaned for a long time. Lots of spiders on the outside walls. Had to sweep away spiders around the front door before entering. The awning windows in all the bedrooms were very difficult to operate. Question the safety of these windows in case of an emergency. The lack of air conditioning made for damp towels that never dried and a very musty smell for the entire house. We did several loads to wash towels during the week just to get dry towels. The kitchen sink was very worn and needs replacement so it looks clean. Walking on the floors with bare feet resulted in black feet even tho the floors appeared to be clean when we arrived. The laundry room was cluttered and messy but we were appreciative of having a laundry room. The LR furniture is worn with some broken springs and could use an update.The house is in an excellent location, close to Baileys Harbor which was very charming town! The back porch facing the lake was enjoyable each day with a breeze coming off the lake. Lot was very shady which was nice on a warmer day. Appreciated the extra towels provided. Appreciated the 3 bedrooms with double beds in each and no bunk beds.

We're glad the location, lake breeze, back porch, and extra towels and beds worked well for your stay. We've discussed the exterior maintenance and spider issue with our cleaners, who will address it, and we've raised the difficulty operating the bedroom awning windows with our maintenance company, who will also address it. The floor and sink concerns have likewise been discussed with our cleaning company for follow-up.

Wildwood is a great cottage with sunrise and sunset views!

We do love this little cottage right on the sandy beach in the middle of Bailey's Bay. It sure is too bad that during recent renovations all of the windows were painted shut!

Wonderful property

We have enjoyed staying at this property several times. The property is great. What makes us unhappy is the fact that the service and cleaning fees have become excessive. Repeat customers should get a break when we have a perfect history of leaving a property better than when we arrived.

So Relaxing

This cozy cabin in Bailey’s Harbor was just what my family needed. So cozy, yet lots of space for everyone. We played some of the board games, walked the beach, watched the sun come up, close to town. It was the most relaxed I’ve been on a vacation in I don’t know how long. We all agreed that we didn’t want to leave. We hope we can come back again someday!

Perfect Beach House

We had an excellent stay, five stars all around. Firewood and lighter fluid are provided, chairs to take by the beach. There is a Keurig machine FYI. There were no issues with the blinds, there are instructions on how to use them; we were concerned about that because of past reviews. We were able to check in early. Beautiful location, beautiful beachfront, and the house was clean and cozy and charming.

Solid stay, good property.

This is a good northwoods cabin on a beachfront. The price after fees is pretty high, but I guess you're paying mostly for the beach. So make sure you want it and use it! Close to most of what's best to do, walking distance to a great nature center, and it was quiet and clean. Like any VRBO it has quirks like sticky doors, but nothing that really hampered the stay. We (UN-ironically) enjoyed the board games and CD player at night.

How COULD they?

The cottage had all the windows painted shut! Thank goodness the high temp was 55, but in a week or two it will become a furnace. How could they not have known that?

Good place, needs attention

The location is perfect for us, near Bailey's Harbor and across the road from the Ridges. Place is clean and beds are excellent. It is a property that needs attention. The blinds that a previous guest cited still don't work. And the windows themselves are very difficult to work, need lubrication. I bought WD40 but they are still difficult. There was no expected wifi password as promised in the information sent by management company, no extra blanket, no hair dryer, items I have come to expect in the dozen or so places I have rented. These are not expensive, but need attention.
