Peace and Solitude

This property was gorgeous and quiet, offering a great time of solitude away from the business of life. My wife and I enjoyed how remote this place was yet easily accessible to all of what Door County has to offer.

Place matched the description very well and worth the price. Very cozy, cottage feel and neat building. Its a little secluded, which has pros and cons. Quiet and peaceful but you have to drive to get to food or activities. We had very weak cell service so the lack of WiFi was annoying at times but lots of the area had poor service so I wouldn't blame it on the property so much as emphasized that WiFi is nice to have by Ellison bay.

Perfect private place for anyone wanting to be away from it all. We had bad luck with the mosquitoes, but that’s uncontrollable. On clear nights such as what we enjoyed, the stars are outstanding. House is well outfitted and check-in and out a breeze.

Historic Cabin in the woods

Our family loved our stay at the Mink River Road Cottage. The location is a perfect combination of seclusion and proximity to local coffee shops, restaurants and beaches. Myron is a great host and he was very helpful.

Summer retreat

My family of 5, children aged 13, 11, and 7, traveled to Door Co. for the 1st time in 4 yrs and the cottage was the perfect starting point for everything we wanted to do. The property is secluded and beautifully situated while still being close enough to all the things we wanted to do. We loved our time here and look forward to next time!

First trip to Door Co

It was a nice quiet retreat from all the business of Door Co. Loved that we were only 1 mile up the road from Kick Ash as this recently diagnosed celiac was there often during our stay.

Close to the hustle and bustle but a quiet place to sit and relax. The place was clean, we’ll set up. We all enjoyed our stay. I would recommend this place for you to stay.

Family Time

We all enjoyed our time especially sitting on the porch. Used the living room for evening game night and relaxed by fireplace. We even had a friendly game of bags in the yard that the owner had on the property.

Fall visit

A girls trip, we are all mature women who wanted a comfortable place to do some cooking and relax after full days of sightseeing The property was as I expected with it being a charming place. There were plenty of seats for two but not 3 as that was disappointing even had to rearrange the kitchen table to eat meals. The living room love seat was quite worn and not comfortable for sitting The porch was covered in spiders and cobwebs. There was no soap at the kitchen or bathroom sinks as well as no towels We knew and did bring). I was disappointed in the shape of the cook wear. And with no easy to scrub the pans they were very worn. Dishes took longer than needed. There was a fly infestation and with the cleaning fee I paid I did expect to have the place cleaned. It was charming and the beds were comfortable.
