Family Trip to Door County

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!

I thought the house was clean and had everything that we needed. I can see how it would have worked nice for a larger group with the sleeping capabilities. It was just myself and my daughter staying there the week So it more than met our needs. In regard to any improvements, I think the outside parking area could be improved upon. I have a pick up truck that made it a little bit difficult to turn around in the driveway. If you had more than one car it might be a little tight.

Wonderful stay in the woods!

We had an amazing time at this secluded home in the woods. We planned a biking trip to Door County and were able to ride our bikes from the house to Penninsula State Park. It was great to hang out by the fire pit in the evenings and play board games, and the house was well stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thanks again, Mike!

This place was perfect for me and my sister along with our husbands and a few kids. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of bedding and towels. Wifi is not reliable, so some members of our group had to go to coffee shops to do a bit of work. I would return!

Thank you for your kind review. I apologize for the WiFi issues we have not had that in the past, I assume it was due to heavy tower traffic being the 4th of July weekend. None the less we are on the Strarlink wait list and expect to receive that in the next couple of months.

Peace in the Woods

This home is perfectly located to enjoy all Door County has to offer. It's situated in a private wooded setting yet a close bike ride to the town of Ephraim and waterfront. The home is very clean and has all conveniences needed to enjoy your stay. There is internet access, which was helpful due to the fact I had to work a few days and conduct a virtual video meeting - no stalling or issues with the connection. We'll definitely be back to this peaceful home in the woods.

Guys Getaway

Our group of ten guys had an absolutely amazing weekend. With a couple air mattresses we were good to go at night and during the day it was great to just hang out and relax. Also only a quick 7 min drive to Sister Bay for groceries and a couple of the bars. TV, games, and a nice large couch helped keep everyone busy. Only downside was we were not able to use the fire-pit due to previous guest misuse. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a perfect getaway with a larger group.

Lovely home, great location, close to everything, away from the hustle-bustle

This property is a gem. In the center and close to popular DC towns, but remote enough that it is a quiet stay in the woods and you can see all of the stars AND we even saw a bit of the northern lights. Owner was incredibly responsive and the house was extremely clean; beds and furniture very comfortable. No issues whatsoever. If you are looking to be in the center of it all, this is not the house for you. But if you want the best of both worlds for DC--this is the perfect place to stay.

Girls trip to Door County

This place was great for the 5 of us girls to have a nice little getaway. It was spacious and very clean. It was close to everything so that was very handy. The only suggestions I have is that we could have used some mirrors in the bedrooms for getting a bunch of girls ready to go out. Also-needs more wine glasses. Lol. The water is very stinky so taking showers was not enjoyable. Good thing we brought lots of bottled water. Overall the host was very good about getting back to us and the house was comfortable.

Fantastic!

My husband, mother, and two children stayed here in late summer. The house was fantastic - great open layout for keeping an eye on young kids while getting food ready and no stairs to keep the baby away from. Two clean bedrooms, one clean bath. The sunroom area was wonderful for viewing nature and the low deck got plenty of use both day and night. You are surrounded by cedar trees and the night sky is endlessly filled with stars. I sat outside chatting with my mom one night and we could satellites, and even a shooting star! The stepstool in the bathroom was perfect for young kids and washer dryer was great to have as well. Location was about 6 minutes from Sister Bay, 10 each from Fish Creek and Bailey's Harbor - well situated to explore nearby. Had a great time and would love to go back.

Girls trip

We were a party of 8 girls. It was my very first time doing a VRBO. This is a summarized description/experience of the house. I wish I could fit everything on this summary. This house was a perfect fit for our friend group. There was enough space for everyone to sleep. The house was clean, very cozy and extremely beautiful! Easy check out and check in instructions. Restaurants, shops, and other attractions were super close by. Dinner table fit all of us. The couch fit all of us. Clean and comfortable bed sets, pillows and mattresses for everyone to sleep. Kitchen was easy to cook and move around in. The only suggestion I have is to add more chairs for the fire pit and don’t forget to bring plenty of bug spray. Mosquitos are ruthless out there. I highly recommend this house.

About the host

Hosted by Mike

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

We envisioned a home that offered both seclusion and convenience, a tranquil retreat away from the hustle and bustle while remaining close enough to immerse ourselves in the vibrant local scene. Our goal was to create a space where we could savor the excitement of local festivals by day and then retreat to our peaceful sanctuary by night. Here, you can bask in the serenity of the surrounding nature, gaze up at the star-studded sky, and listen to the soothing sounds of the forest. It’s the perfect balance of lively activity and peaceful solitude, providing a unique escape to enjoy the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

Every detail of this home reflects a personal touch and craftsmanship. The cabinets, each uniquely crafted, were handmade by the host’s father, showcasing a blend of skill and familial dedication. The trim throughout the house was meticulously fashioned by the owner, adding a bespoke elegance to each room. Even the woodwork, from the initial felling of trees to the final staining, was personally executed by the owner. This hands-on approach ensured that every piece of wood was carefully planed, dried, and routered to perfection, imbuing the home with a distinctive character and a deep sense of personal connection.
