Everything in the cottage was beautiful, color coordinated. Darla thought of everything for the kitchen and bath. Top quality towels, bedding, comfortable beds, ceiling fans. Plus Darla is a lovely person, herself! The cottage was perfect for a couple.

Darla's Forget Me Not Cottage was the perfect base for our Door County explorations. She was an exceptional host that shared her vast knowledge and love of the Door County Peninsula. We would not hesitate to book another stay.

Wonderful Getaway

We had a wonderful stay! The cottage was clean, well-kept, and in a perfect location for exploring all that Door County has to offer. Whether we were heading to nearby shops, restaurants, or outdoor adventures, everything was just a short drive away. The host was responsive and communicated clearly throughout our stay, which made everything even smoother. This was truly a perfect home base for our Door County trip, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Forget Me Not Cottage

Forget Me Not Cottage is very charming and comfortable. Owner Darla is welcoming and most hospitable. The nautical decor is delightful and we had everything we needed. Ellison Bay is much smaller and quieter than the other towns on Hwy 42 and we truly appreciated that. We highly recommend Forget Me Not Cottage.

Great 3 Night Stay

Darla was great! Perfect location and couple get-away in Ellison Bay. Walking distance to the water, general store, and bar/restaurant. We stayed close after our daily adventures (winery, Washington Island). We will be back and just may stay here again. Thank you!

Such a wonderful VRBO for 2! The decor is so unique and fun! The kitchen area is the perfect size to have breakfast and plan our next day activities. The bedroom is really cute and cozy with fun blue and white accent pieces. The sitting area with tv was a perfect place to relax in the evening after active days hiking, biking, golfing and more. The location is close to a few restaurants so you don’t have to get in the car after a long day. The host Darla was very helpful and gave us great suggestions.

It was fine, smells musty like it is old. Lack of AC was an issue for me, but I rented it knowing there wasn't any. No curtains on bedroom window didn't help with the heat or daylight coming in. Great location. A few cobwebs. Basics included. Only 1 set of bath towels was disappointing, but again I did not ask for extra.
