Close to great Sister Bay attractions, but a few blocks off the main street offering peace and quiet too. The home is very well equipped and clean. It was just right for three generations of our family. We would love to return one day.

Fantastic stay! This property was so beautiful and thoughtfully laid out. And communication with the owner was always lightning-fast and helpful. The location of this property absolutely cannot be beat - easy walking distance to town but somehow extremely peaceful. A wonderful oasis!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Rose

Our Door County story began as young children when we would both take the scenic drive up Highway 42 from Green Bay with our families to camp, hike, bike, kayak, and explore the peninsula.

After meeting in 2010, we found out we not only shared a passion for food, travel, and adventure; but also Door County. After several years of vacationing together on the peninsula we make our dream a reality and purchased Modern Dörr Cottage. The name pays homage to Door County's Scandinavian influence and our love for Scandinavian modern design.

We are so happy to host you and share our love for Door County <3
