We could not have asked for a better place for two 50 year old girlfriends to do a "husband-less" few days of shopping, bonding and wine drinking. The pictures simply do not do this place justice - it is ON the water (literally abuts the water!) and is about one mile from central city (maybe a tad more?) Simply a great place to stay. This was an odd vacation as we came to Sturgeon Bay during Covid. Thus, more time at our rental, less time at restaurants and simply a really bizarre period in history. With that being said.....
THE PROS:
- The House: It is a 2 br, 1 bath "boathouse" - that is a living quarters built on top of a boathouse. The water level on the Lake is high, so there is no dock. There is a GREAT patio with a concrete fire pit, patio furniture and room for movement. The house is VERY CLEAN and has solid surface floors (nothing worse than nappy carpet in a VRBO). You could tell that the owner takes pride in people being happy. Undoubtedly spider sprayed on a regular basis as we did not see one spider which is unusual for a lake home (we live on a lake, so trust me when I say this)
- The Owner: Brian was very communicative and ensured we knew everything about the house. Since we stayed during Covid, he took extra precautions in cleaning to ensure we felt comfortable. I could not be happier with the host.
- The Location: On the water, walking distance to a bar/restaurant and a very short hop (1-2 miles) to the center city. By the entrance to Potowatomi State Park, 30 mins to Fish Creek.
- Amenities: The fire pit, house was stocked with EVERYTHING you could need (including Alexa for music and GLASS wine glasses). Bring your own sheets and towels. The kitchen is well equipped so you will not need much.
THE CONS:
I really have nothing. It is in a residential area, so if you are looking for loud, wild night time parties, this is probably not your place. It is also decorated eclectically (which was adorable) - so if you are looking for he Ritz, stay at a hotel.
If you want a VERY clean, comfortable, well equipped place to call home during your stay, this is the place. We will be back next summer - Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us!!!
