We stayed here for a long anticipated fishing trip for Chinook “King” Salmon. The accommodations EXCEEDED our expectations with spacious, well stocked and comfortable surroundings, all within a tranquil, quiet, safe, country living estate. Tracy goes above and beyond for her guests and we can’t wait for next years trip!

beautiful property, easy stay

My friends and I had a blast! The property is clean, comfortable, beautiful, and so so spacious for the price we paid. Check-in/check-out process was easy. We were so excited to see horses in our backyard - an added bonus! I will definitely keep this place in mind when I come back to Door County!

We really liked this house. The open kitchen, living, dining was great. We enjoyed the large kitchen table so we could all be together. The extra room to the west was awesome for the kids to spread out. The location was nice, close enuf to drive to the beach and northern door county but we enjoyed the country setting. The only thing we would suggest would be a larger water heater to accommodate large groups - Tracie mentioned it was smaller in the notes but after a long day, it would have been nice to have warm showers. Overall I would definitely recommend this property.

Lovely home. Beds were comfortable. However hot water in master bath never really got hot. Well stocked kitchen and bath items and beach gear. First time staying where host also was staying, but never heard or saw them. Host did have flowers delivered for us which was a nice touch!

Awesome place in Door County with large family with pets

The only reason I didn't rate it a 5 overall was because the hot water heater, dishwasher, and A/C weren't working great when we were there. Other than that, the place was perfect for our family of 5 with 2 dogs. Within easy walking and biking distance of a beautiful biking trail that goes into Sturgeon Bay. Beautiful property with horses and goats to look at. Host was very responsive with excellent communication.

Upon arrival, everything was clean and just like the pictures and description online. Kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. House was spacious and nicely furnished. Only negatives were the lack of hot water in the master bath shower and the inoperative dish washer. Plenty of hot water available at the master bath sink and other faucets in kitchen and second bath. Appeared an adjustment to the shower faucet is necessary -- it would only move a quarter turn. Recommend a plumber inspect and adjust the shower and the dishwasher be repaired/replaced. Appreciated the use of the washer and dryer.

Tracie was very easy to communicate with. The home was extremely well maintained and equipped. We hosted a small gathering for my mother’s 90th birthday. There was good inside and outside seating, the kitchen was the best equipped of any place I have rented. Tracie allowed us to check in early to set up food which was very helpful. She even sent a bouquet for Mom from a neighboring business. She even offered to mail my grandson’s blanket to him after we left it behind. I would definitely stay here again. Access from hwy 42 was easy. Good space for people to spread out and a variety of games, books, and activities for rainy days. Thank you Tracie.

Totally Awesome GirlTrip 2025

Tracie’s home was very comfortable and nicely decorated. She pays attention to detail… had everything we needed and then some :). Tracie was also a great communicator and prompt in responding. I loved that we had a garage to pull into since we generally came home late… due to all of the fun activities to do in Door County. Our one and ONLY suggestion would be that it would have been disclosed on line that there was a cat nearby….due to allergies ….otherwise, her home was perfect .I would highly recommend staying here… especially if you have a family… sooooo much room!Thank you Tracie for hosting us…

Peaceful getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this property. There was an abundance of gathering spaces both inside and outside. A large patio and yard was perfect for a cookout and provided a great place for our dog to enjoy as well. The kitchen was well-equipped and with a large island and dining room table, there was ample space for cooking and enjoying each other's company.

Peaceful, relaxing hideaway

House was immaculate. Beautiful accommodations. A lot of extras were included. Close to a lot of attractions in a quiet country neighborhood. We often sat out on the deck in the evenings and watched the wild life. A cherry orchard was just down the road from the house. We definitely would book again.

Great weekend stay!

The home was just as advertised. Our host was super helpful and gracious. She allowed us an additional 2 hours to check out as our 3 husbands participated in the Sturgeon Bay bicycle event! Home was clean and more than spacious. We never knew she was home in the downstairs apartment. The side yard is large and next stay we’ll have to remember to bring out croquet set. Thank you Tracie for opening your home to us!

Private Hideaway

Very peaceful, refreshing countryside VRBO. Stocked with any amenities you may need. Garage included. We had too short of a stay but love Door County and this was a wonderful place to stay. Our dog loved running and walking the state trail close by and the lovely large backyard to throw the ring. It was great to wake with coffee on the patio and close the day relaxing.

About the host

Hosted by Tracie Hoffmann

I'm an easy going person, friendly, I keep to myself usually. Feel free to say hello if you see me, but I try to be unseen and unheard as much as possible to give you the space and privacy you deserve.

Why they chose this property

I have lived in Door County my whole life, so I guess it chose me.
I've grown to appreciate the beauty and uniqueness this area has with its long shorelines and picturesque landscapes.

What makes this property unique

Something unique about this property is that I live in the lower apartment which allows me to be available if any issue should arise. I do keep to myself, and am often not there due to my schedule. I do have a couple cats who live with me as well incase anyone has allergies. They are confined to the lower quarters 100% of the time, but air travels so please keep that in mind when booking.
Thank you.
