Sweet little getaway
We stayed here to celebrate a wedding anniversary. It was a lovely home and a beautiful setting. We really loved waking up each morning to the water. Our kids enjoyed finding all the painted rocks among the landscaping rocks. Thank you for allowing us to stay, we would stay again!

Things they don’t tell you…
This is a lovely home, no doubt about it. It is about 10 miles from stores so kind of isolated, but located right on the bay with a gorgeous view of sunsets. We were not informed that the clothes washer wasn’t working nor was the fireplace. Management did refund us $100 for this but we were traveling with a 2yo and needed the washer. Also turns out there was loud construction on both sides of the house. So getting away to Door County was like being in the center of Chicago part of our 4 night stay there. Rent at your own risk. We weren’t told, management said they didn’t know about the construction so we are telling you here. Also when they finally give you full details close to your rental day, they go on in some detail about not using much water because of the septic system. Not letting water run as you brush your teeth for instance. The water pressure was good but no garbage disposal in the kitchen. Long drive they ask you to haul the garbage up to the street Sunday nights for Monday pick up. All this is worth it to be out away from noise, but you don’t get that. At least not this year. Best to ask before you rent this house. You’re welcome!
