Great House on Lily Bay

My family stayed here for a long weekend at the at the beginning of May. I cannot recommend it enough. The location can’t be beat! Miles of sandy beach just steps from the property. The listing photos were very accurate and the house was bigger than we thought. You could definitely have a large group there without any issues. The owner was very responsive. I feel confident that if we had run into any issues, he would have done his best to fix it immediately. You can tell he truly cares about the property and wants everyone to have the best possible experience. Great stay!

Great getaway!

My family and I had a wonderful time at the Lily Bay Lodge. Just what we needed to kick off the cozy season. Mitch went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. Everything we needed to enjoy the weekend was provided. Even when we left a cable at home, for one of our devices, Mitch was more than willing to run out and grab it for us. Great hosts and a great place to unwind. We hope to be back again soon. Thanks again Mitch!

Door County Anniversary Getaway

Lily Bay Lodge was home for 4 nights in early October for my husband and I and our two small dogs. We wanted someplace special for our anniversary and this location was perfection! Our stay couldn't have been any better! We appreciated the kindness of the owner ... it is obvious they care tremendously about the property. The accommodations were comfortable for us and our pups. Everything was clean and worked well. The fenced in yard for the dogs was great! The beach and the view were amazing... we were up early every morning to watch the sunrise! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a special stay in DC!

Perfect getaway!

Beautiful house and property with absolutely stunning views of Lake Michigan! I was the exact restful getaway we were looking for and our dog was also delighted to be there due to the fenced in back yard and the wide open beach to explore either direction. If you are looking for a true, quiet, gorgeous getaway, this is the perfect house and location.

Outstanding!

It was a pleasure to stay here. Great location. Clean. Kitchen had everything we needed as we cooked there every night. I would say that this home was better in person than it shows on the website. The manager was welcoming and responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed this home and hope to stay there again in the future. I give it a 10 out of 10.

Wonderful Door County Lakeside weekend

The Lily Bay Lodge was wonderful- the house is great, beds super comfy. And the location was amazing - so many stars in the clear night sky and we loved drifting off to sleep to the sound of the waves. Host was very responsive to all our questions and needs and gave a great suggestion for local live music!

Wonderful stay with the beach as your backyard

My family and I stayed here for 4 nights. The lake house was very clean, spacious, and exactly as described. The highlight is the location. You have part of the lake Michigan shoreline as your backyard. It felt like a private beach because there were such few people around. My dog also enjoyed the fenced yard and we ate on the patio and screened in porch. The owner was very friendly and even offered us complimentary salmon that he had caught the night before. It was delicious. We will definitely be coming back during our next trip to door county.

We had a wonderful stay at Lily Bay Lodge. The location was spectacular with incredible views and access to Lake Michigan. The home was in wonderful condition. It was very clean and well equipped for the 3 adult couples that made up our group. We wouldn't change a thing and are already discussing possible dates for a visit back next year!

Beautiful location on the beach

This would have been a 5 star except for a pretty bad ant problem. The screened porch wasn’t usable due to hundreds of flying ants inside, particularly in the afternoon & evenings. Also ants in the kitchen, but not bad compared to the screened porch. Otherwise, the location was near perfect, and the place was extremely kid-friendly.
