Relaxing autumn stay

Had a wonderful time exploring Door County while staying at a beautiful home. It was great catching up with family and friends. Spent a lot of time on the backyard deck.

peaceful retreat in the woods

It's an ample, luxurious home on a quiet road. We enjoyed quick access to cherry picking, beaches, dining, and the shops in Sister Bay.

A perfect stay

We had a very comfortable stay for our large family. We loved spending time on the deck. The fact that 3 of the 4 bedrooms had a king bed was a huge plus. Ed was very communicative and accommodating. Would highly recommend!

Luxury home in the woods

Ed was so easy to work with and was super communicative. The house and the grounds are beautiful; The outdoor patio makes you feel like you’re in a luxurious treehouse. The house was spotless and has everything you need. It is so spacious, everyone had their privacy. Very hard to leave!

Memorial Day Weekend Getaway

Our stay was fabulous. The house is beautiful, clean and plenty big. The pictures don't do it justice. The house provided so many amenities - garage access, laundry usage (detergent available), stocked kitchen, games, bedroom necessities, etc. The host was easily accessible and quick to reply. The home is in a great location and close to Door County's local attractions. Stay here, you won't be disappointed. We hope to back real soon.

EB retreat

House was perfect for my family. The kitchen and grill area had everything we needed, very well-stocked. House is immaculately clean, spacious, and ideally located for us. Kids love the bunk beds! And the back deck can’t be beat. Ed’s a great host. So thankful this house was available, it was the perfect backdrop for memories made with little ones.

Our kids and grandkids said it was our best family vacation ever. Not much else needs to be said. Thanks Ed for sharing your beautiful (and very quiet) home with all of us. We had a great time at the house and seeing God’s beautiful creation in Door County. Larry & Connie

Family Holiday Weekend

We really enjoyed staying for Labor Day weekend, the home was beautiful! Plenty of room for everyone to hang out, the outdoor space was wonderful, we got to enjoy having a nice fire and did use the grilling area too. Bedrooms were all good sizes, bonus room with pool table worked out well for another sleeping room, master was huge and private. Kitchen had most everything we needed, double ovens and large pantry. Cute butler pantry and huge dining room. Communication with owner was great, he was very responsive. Highly recommend!

Girl’s weekend at Ellison Bays

We had a great time in this large, lovely home. Pictures of the place were “spot on.” There were 7 of us high school friends. It was comfortable, clean and well stocked. The log fireplace in the porch was a great addition. We had a fire every night which was lovely and so much fun! Our host, Ed gave us all the information we needed and responded quickly to our questions. It was a wonderful weekend! I highly recommend Ed’s home and would book it again with family and/or friends.

Spacious, comfortable and nicely designed home in a quiet setting

A simple yet extremely elegant, spacious home in the middle of a forest of trees. Ed's home is nicely designed, inside and out with a ton of thought put towards amenities, cleanliness and space planning. The home is surrounded by trees and the landscaping around it is beautiful. The outside patio seats 8+ comfortably around a firepit. The interior is perfectly arranged to be comfortable but not overdone. All of the rooms are extremely clean with soft goods being the perfect fit.

Best VRBO experience ever!

It is hard to summarize how lovely this home is. 6 adults and 2 kids had plenty of space, with room for more. Bathrooms and kitchen were well very stocked. The house is very private, yet close to all activities. and The beautiful back deck is perfect to relax on. The Host was extremely responsive to all issues. (And Ed, there *may* be a slingshot rubber chicken behind the big screen TV in the living room. There were many slingshot battles and I don’t know if my son in law managed to retrieve that one.)

Beautiful home, perfect location!

Our two families, including 4 adults and 4 young children, had a fabulous stay in this absolutely beautiful home! The living spaces, kitchen, and deck/outdoor area were perfect for everyone to hang out together after long days of sightseeing around the county. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and spread out around the house, so we all felt like we had our own private little retreats. Every room was very clean and nicely decorated. The location of the home is perfect, just a short drive from the shopping/restaurants/sights of downtown Sister Bay and Ellison Bay. It is situated within a quiet little wooded area, which made it peaceful for lounging outside during the day and by the outdoor fireplace at night. It is just a short drive to Ellison Bay Bluff and to a wonderful little beach for viewing the sunset (a must while you’re there!). Thanks for being great host, Ed! We would love to stay in your beautiful home again for our next family trip to Door County!

Perfection!

We LOVED our stay in Ellison Bay! This house is absolute perfection! Our group was two families of four, with children ages 12, 12, 15 and 15. Our kids really enjoyed the pool table, giant bean bag, bunk room and lots of space to spread out. The grown ups really enjoyed the outside living space. The house was thoughtfully stocked with lots of towels, beach towels, laundry soap, toilet paper, etc. The beds, bedding and pillows were all super comfortable. We have stayed in many towns in Door County, but this was our first stay in Ellison Bay. We did love the location of this home. We were close enough to everything, yet far enough away from the bigger crowds. Plus there is a lot to do in this part of the county. In addition, I would highly recommend that you walk to the end of Porcupine Bay Road from the house. The road dead ends at the water. Sunsets were beautiful down there. Enjoy this piece of paradise!

Wooded Gem

This wooded luxury retreat in Ellison Bay was perfect for our extended family's vacation. This property's description and photos are spot on. The owner's suite on the main level is stunning with access to the main deck, walk-in closets, and immense grand bathroom. "Suite" is definitely the correct description. The three second floor bedrooms are all nicely spread out. No issues with sound even with 2 babies under 9 months old in the group. The bathrooms were: Two en-suite bathrooms, one full bathroom shared by two of the 2nd floor bedrooms, and two half baths. Plenty to go around! We loved the surround deck with fire pit (wood provided), and never had the chance to use the large grill (maybe next time). Beautiful views of the forrest from the back deck. Trees galore. Very private. Cooking was a breeze with all the immensities provided, including spices and both a coffee maker AND a Keurig (not to mention coffee pods & coffee... EVEN single use creamers). We cooked many meals, and even made organic baby food in the Ninja blender! I can't say enough good things about this property. Definitely the best we stayed at in terms of amenities. Ed's team has certainly thought of everything to make your stay perfect and want for nothing. When you finally pack up and leave down the long winding driveway, you can't help but wish you just had just a couple more days. Thanks Ed! Great place, great communication. We will be back. The group loved it.
