This Sister Bay home was very clean, well stocked, and comfortable for our stay with our dogs. I especially appreciated the tile and wood floors, which made traveling with pets easy. Mike, the host, reached out when we arrived to make sure everything was good, and he was very responsive with answering my questions.The wooded lot made the property feel peaceful and private, and our dogs enjoyed exploring the outdoor space. Since the yard opens directly into the woods, we simply kept a close eye on them while they were outside. Overall, it was a nice, quiet spot for a relaxing stay.

We had a great time staying here. The location is central to all the main cities and attractions you want to visit. The house is a newer build and has everything you need. We were so impressed by how clean and organized everything in the house is. The check out process was super quick and easy (which everyone appreciated). Everyone had a great time and we would all love to come back. If you’re considering this stay, book it!!

A HIDDEN GEM! My wife and I stayed 7 days. We drove in from the road on a curved gravel driveway to a plain looking house in the woods. But the inside was wonderful! Wide-open living area, airy, bright, peaceful, well-done with a cozy cabin-like feel. Everything we needed was well supplied; we wanted for nothing. Door County is a great place to visit. The house was in a great location: Less than 10 minutes to Ephraim (Dry except for beer and wine) and our favorite Sister Bay (Recommended restaurants: LURE, CHOPS, THYME Marketplace). And 15 minutes from Fish Creek and Peninsula Playhouse which has professional actors. We saw Agatha Christie’s Mousetrap. My wife didn’t want to leave!

This well-appointed, clean home in the woods was PERFECT for our stay here with my husband and dog. Centrally located off a quiet country road, we were close to Sister Bay but never too far from any town near the end of the penisula. Check-in was simple and quick, something I always appreciate after travel. Check-out was easy as well.The property was lovely with a fantastic kitchen and all the dishes/pans you could need. The living area was huge with windows that let you soak in the beauty of the woods once you opened the blinds. The bathroom was great & had a deep tub and washer/drier available. The A/C kept us cool on some warm and humid days & nights. The deck was wonderful for coffee, and we even had a small campfire one night in the fire ring. We appreciated the games and DVD's provided, and had fun playing a spelling game. And we are always grateful when a host allows dogs. Thank you Mike, for letting us bring our Ozzy to your get-away.We had one small issue, and when we reached out to Mike he answered quickly, then had our quandry resolved in a few minutes. EXCELLENT communication and response. Highly recommend, and would definatly stay at this lovely home in the woods again!

We enjoyed our stay at the Cedars. The home was quite comfortable and well equipped. The property is also situated amongst beautiful cedar trees in a rural setting which was really nice. One of the highlights was the convenient location and close proximity to Fish Creek, Ephraim and Sister Bay. We would definitely stay there again!

About the host

Host profile image
This home was originally built as a special getaway for my family, a place where we could all come together and create lasting memories. We designed it with our family's needs in mind, aiming to provide a perfect retreat in the heart of beautiful Door County. However, as our kids became more involved in youth sports, our time to enjoy this haven became limited. We decided to open up our cherished home to others so they too can experience the charm and beauty of Door County. We hope you find as much joy and relaxation here as we have, and create your own unforgettable memories in this special place.

Why they chose this property

Imagine a charming retreat nestled in a tranquil, wooded setting, where comfort and convenience seamlessly blend. The house boasts a spacious, inviting interior featuring a luxurious king and queen size beds, ensuring restful nights in a plush, serene environment. Stay connected and entertained with Starlink high-speed internet that keeps you linked to the outside world, while you enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The heart of the home is a fully stocked kitchen, perfect for culinary adventures or simple meals, equipped with modern appliances, ample counter space, and all the essentials you might need. Adjacent to the kitchen, a large deck extends your living space outdoors, complete with a gas grill for effortless barbecuing and al fresco dining. From the deck, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the private woodlands that surround the property, creating a sense of seclusion and serenity. As night falls, listen to whip-o-whirls serenade you as you gather around the fire pit tucked away in the woods, ideal for cozying up with loved ones and sharing stories under the stars. Despite its secluded feel, the house is conveniently located near charming towns and lively festivals, offering a perfect balance of isolation and accessibility.
