Fall weekend getaway

Location was beautiful. You could hear and see the water and fall colors. Place was decently clean. Some spider webs and dead bugs on the window sills that I would have expected to be cleaned up. Bedrooms are very small and have big wardrobes that made it had to fit a pack and play when traveling with kids.

Awesome cabin in Quiet Gills Rock

Neat clean little cabin was just right for the three of us. We loved being away from the craziness of the busy towns when it came to winding down for the night. Updated interior. Just what we were looking for.

lovely

The location was perfect. The view superb. The accommodations met our every expectations. I highly recommend this cabin. We have been many time to DC and we never stayed in Gills Rock which made for a different visit. Five minutes to the ferry to Washington Island gave us an unhassled day on the island. All in all, we would gladly return.

Fall getaway

We were very happy with this cozy clean cottage. Gills Rock is very peaceful. The hosts were prompt in answering any questions we had. We were able to walk to see the sunsets at night and have patio fire. It was nice we could bring our dog along. Great location for sightseeing.

This was a good experience. We are a family of 5 and used a blow up mattress so there was ample room. Good location and a nice stay. Responsive owners.

Great Little Cottage with water view!

We had a wonderful stay! The weather was perfect, and the property was exactly as described. The only thing we were missing was hotpads, as we cooked almost all of our meals there. (We left one there for future guest use!) No complaints!

Clean, private, nice view, good for small children

We had a great experience staying here! Within walking distance to a great coffee shop called gills rock coffee and the shoreline restaurant. Nice view for a fire at night. The size was great for our small child and dog. Kitchen was a good size to make meals when we didn’t want to venture out. We will definitely keep this place in mind for another stay!!

Quiet cottage to enjoy Door County

Tucked away at the far north edge of Door County, this is a perfect spot for those who want a quiet headquarters for exploring the peninsula. Comfortable beds, all the basics, and a patio with a fire ring that has a view of the water across the road and gorgeous sunsets. A short walk to a supper club style restaurant with water view, and short drive to the Washington Island ferry for exploring.
