We loved this vacation. We had a limited amount of time before two of our family had to deploy. This vacation location gave us plenty of space to be inside and outside doing what we love, swimming and enjoying the beach. Everyone got the chance to connect and relax.

The cottage was the perfect place for our little family. Spacious for us even with our dog. Love that it is pet friendly! It was cold and rainy, and they had the heated stove on for us prior to arrival. Very cozy! Will definitely remember this place for our next trip.

This place is great. Quiet and secluded with beautiful views and sunsets. Easy communication with the owner and no suprises. We had a great time and enjoyed fires by the lake and waking up to the sunrise over the lake.

Charming, private and quaint property nestled in the quiet Garrett Bay area. It felt like home the moment we walked in and booked two additional dates.

Door County lakeside

A totally charming cabin with a rare beach access with its own dock! It is a magical location, and the furnishings were eclectic and comfortable. The host lives nearby and was very friendly and responsive to any questions or concerns. It is the perfect combination of peaceful, out-of-the-way seclusion yet just minutes away from Sister Bay, the County's most cosmopolitan village.

Cute little cottage tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the busier Door County areas. Perfect for a quick get-away. Owner is very responsive.

They should have paid us to stay there!

1. No real air conditioning. It was very hot when we arrived. It was advertised as having air conditioning but all it had was a room cooler up stairs. 2. Bugs and spiders. My husband woke up the next morning with one on his forehead. They were everywhere. On the kitchen counter and all over the floor, bathroom, shower and toilet. The sewage was very strange. Had to push a button on a pump to make it drain. Shower backs up. No washer as advertised. We couldn’t wait to move out the next morning.

Lovely location and host. Beautiful views. Opportunity to use their kayaks on Lake Michigan but check to make sure equipment has plugs so you don't take on water.

Enjoyed the view, fishing, and the location. Recommend upgrading furniture and decor as it is dated and/worn. Pls identify or mark kayaks that are noted in the description so they can be used without disturbing others.

Beautiful Location

My family of 3 (and our pup) had a wonderful time at this cottage. The access to the water and its location were awesome. Upon entering the cottage, the clean smell of bleach and disinfectant made me feel that great care was taken to make sure it was ready for us. Jen was a great host! I'd love to rent from her again in the future!

Very nice. Quiet neighborhood lovely view of the bay. Jen is a great host. My companion stated that the only thing he could find disappointing was that the furniture could use some up grading. The shower that I thought might be a problem was easy to figure out.
