Very nice property with a private backyard to walk our dog. It was just two of us with our lab, but definitely a family friendly home. House was clean, and the bed was comfy. Very nicely located in town and only a short drive to Potawatomi State Park where we frequented daily. Close to local restaurants which I highly recommend (Scaturo’s, Sonny’s, and The Door County Fire Co). Also a short drive to Renards Cheese, a must visit for cheese lovers. It was a manageable drive up the peninsula of Door County to visit all the shops. Also, so many State Parks to visit with dog friendly trails.

Great House Near Door County Fun

We really enjoyed the house. We were doing a short trip to Door County and this house was really a blessing for us. I traveled with my wife, kids, and in-laws. Enough room for everyone to be able to sleep well and cozy enough for quality family time. I would definitely book again next time I visit Door County.

Great House and Central Location for Door County!

The house was amazing and had everything we needed and wanted to enjoy our vacation in Door County. The pack-and-play and highchair were greatly appreciated. We used the fire pit out back as well as the playground. Only recommendation to owners is to have more coffee and paper towels on hand. Otherwise, this was an amazing place!

Family time

As 4 senior adults, we enjoyed our stay in your home. The check-in process was very easy and the home was clean. One thing we did find lacking was soap in the bathrooms, yes, there was a pump for hand soap, but no gel in the shower or bars of soap to wash. The neighborhood around your home was very nice and quiet. We took several walks in the area. Thank you

Thank you Felice. We do actually have bars of soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the bathroom drawer. Feel free next time to reach out when you don’t find something. Thanks again for staying

Sisters Retreat in Sturgeon Bay

We enjoyed staying in this home. The owner left a helpful notebook and responded to our questions by phone in a timely manner. It would have been nice to have two showers , but we managed. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking utensils and tools. The coffee pot and pizza oven needed cleaning. Overall it was a good place to stay near all the Door County attractions.

Enjoyed the Stay / House

Overall the house was as presented Two items I would say need to be addressed (one major and one minor) would be Major - fixing the back sliding door lock - it was completely broken and the only thing that we had to lock the door at night or when we were gone was a metal rod - bit unnerving for not knowing the area particularly well Minor - clean up / landscape the bank yard - lot of overgrown trees / vegetation - could of been a very nice area if it gets cleaned up (also weeds were growing in gutters) Other than those two things it was very enjoyable house/stay

Tenant Review

Very Pleased with the condition, cleanliness of your home.I would highly recomend it to friends, family. We were a bit short on towels (swimming, etc.) It was secure, all utilities worked (thank heaven for the A/C) A few more cooking pots would have been helpful. If we come back to Sturgeon Bay for another visit we will request to stay in your home again. Thank you!

Great Stay

We stayed at the property in June. It was perfect as we needed 4 bedrooms. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. Could have used more paper towels though. Master bathroom had a large countertop which made getting ready easier. Other bathroom was a bit smaller. Location was within close driving distance to main attractions. The house could have been cleaner. Wrappers under one bed and in couch. Slight odor when you first walked in the house. Overall, it met our needs as we were gone sight seeing all day long.

Hi Kerry, Again thank you for staying. We haven’t had issues with odors before, sometimes if it’s humid with no a/c on it can get stuffy. We always strive to keep things top notch clean, apparently a wrapper was missed, and I apologize that happened, and I hope everything else met your expectations. We want our guests to have the best vacation possible. Thank you for your feedback and staying!
