Cabin stay
This was such an enjoyable stay. At first we were deterred by the steep stairs but then realized that was part of the old home. Stairs were like that and to change that would have changed the authenticity of it. Hand rails on the sides of the stairs took care of any concerns.
The fireplace and exposed log beams were our favorite parts of the home. We used the fireplace often throughout our stay.
So clean and cozy.
Absolutely loved it.
Thank you so much for the amazing experience.

The Homestead 🏚
It is a beautiful cabin. It was amazing coming back to it after a long day of site seeing. Relaxing and sitting by the fire, it doesn't get much better than that. The host was awesome. We had everything we needed..even the extras like french vanilla creamer😉 We would definitely stay here again.

Great Place
We loved our time at the cabin, it was a very clean place to stay. It was awesome to see pictures and know the history of the cabin, they have done a great job of restoring it and making it into a nice place for people to stay. While we were they we were able to enjoy the Fireplace in the Cabin, if we visit the Door County area again, we will stay again! It was a nice getaway for our honeymoon!
Russ is a detailed, thoughtful individual interested in the comfort and quality of stay for his guests. We asked for something as simple as a Kuerig coffee maker and he let us borrow his wife's no less.
A fire was already built in the fireplace just waiting for us to put a match to the kindling.
The restored 1882 pioneer log home was a viseral and historic treat. Russ is the consumate builder and mechanical engineer. Highly recommend this place to stay ! We hope to return soon.

My wife’s new favorite place
The cabin is incredible and the Cihlar’s are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. I’ve stayed here once before on a fishing trip with my dad but knew my wife would love it. We returned over Labor Day and had one of our best vacations ever. Having such a lovely little place to stay was the icing on the cake.
