Perfect Door County Location

We had a wonderful time exploring Door County with an excellent location to unlimited activities. The house has ample sleeping space for large groups. The firepit and large yard make outdoor activities fun for the entire group. Be aware that there is no A/C. If the temperature is hot with high humidity it can be hard to find relief, but other than that this is a perfect getaway spot.
