This was a beautiful home and everything was extremely comfortable. The home had everything we needed for our weeks stay. There was nice outdoor space and we took advantage of the fire pit and grill. It was a very short walk to restaurants and marina, and short drive to state parks and other towns in Door County. Communication with the hosts was great.

This beautiful house is in an excellent location with a 5 minute walk to downtown Sister Bay. It was exceptionally clean and well stocked with essentials. The quiet location allowed us to drink our morning coffee while listening to the birds. One of the best VRBO's we've ever stayed at. We will definitely be staying here again. We highly recommend this home.

Spectacular!So clean, so organized, so comfortable, inside & out!The location couldn't get any better.Some of our favorite places were CHOP, Della Porta, Grasse's, Peach Barn, SIP and One Barrel Brewery.But, our highlight of the day was coming back "home" and spending time with college friends/Sorority sisters.And this home was the perfect place to do that!We didn't want to leave!Thank you for the wonderful experience!Merrie, Sandy, Claudia & Karen

Adorable house so close to DT Sister Bay we could walk home with all our shopping treasures. The kitchen well stocked (even with candy) and there is lots of family space. The host is very easy to communicate and has lots of information, he even left us a note to tell us about the monarch chrysalis on the porch. We enjoyed watching it develop and then fly away. The bedroom with the twin beds is more loft style, with it being open to the stairway that leads to the kitchen. The queen bedroom's access for both bedroom and bathroom access is thru the twin room. It was not a big deal, just less quiet or private for the twin bed users. Certainly perfect for family.We will stay again.

This place was perfect for us. Only a block from the main street of Sister Bay, and it was clean and comfortable. We had a minor problem at check in but the owner quickly responded and the rest of the trip was perfect. Big thumbs up.

Repeat visit - better each time!

This is our third time staying here with our family, it's starting to become a tradition with the kids. As in the past, everything was perfect and comfortable. The house is great for kids and even larger groups. The location is perfect, a 5 min walk to the main street in Sister Bay and has everything you need for a multi-day visit. The hosts are so thoughtful and welcoming and we really feel like we're at home when we stay here. Will absolutely book again and look forward to doing so!

Why they chose this property

We love Door County! Growing up in Wisconsin, going to Door County was always a special experience. We are truly grateful to be able to share this experience with you! It is our hope you will create happy and lasting memories here too.

What makes this property unique

As we enter 2022, we find ourselves busy with more upgrades and improvements! New kitchen cabinets and countertops were installed earlier this spring. New front porch flooring, new siding, and a new roof along with new exterior lighting all happened in 2021. We replaced old windows and luckily were able to keep all the antique woodwork intact. We look forward to sharing this charming bungalow with you!
