Great stay in Gill Rock, WI

We recently stayed here for a long weekend. Everything was as advertised. The location is quiet and RIGHT ON THE WATER. We will go back for sure. Dan, the owner, stopped by to help us with the wifi as he lives just a few doors down. Highly recommend this property!

Fantastic view

Dan and Gretel are excellent hosts. They are responsive, the house is extremely clean and they provide many, many things to do. There are kayaks, paddle boards, bicycles, pool table, hot tub and many board games. Plus a wonderful patio with a fire pit and grill station. Thanks for a wonderful vacation.

Great space in great location

Great views and really fun location with the lake right there and kayaks and paddleboards for exploring. The location is nice and quiet but still close to nice parks and restaurants. The ferry to Washington island is right around the corner. The bathroom is really nice and the place was very clean. The outdoor space while lovely did have a table covered in spider webs that was slightly unappealing while trying to eat dinner out there. Overall though would say this place was beautiful clean and fun and would 100% stay here again.

Awesome Property

Our three-night stay exceeded our expectations in every way. The house is clean and comfortable and has everything you need. The view of the lake is stunning. We enjoyed using the paddleboards, bikes, hot tub, sauna, firepit, and pool table. Dan was very friendly and did a good job ensuring we had everything we needed. Overall, this was a great place to stay, and I can’t wait until next summer when we return.

Lovely stay

The property was very clean and perfect for us. The stairs up to the loft are very steep but we didn't have too much trouble. Our dog loved the yard and we spent some time in the hammock. Unfortunately we had rainy weather our entire trip so no sunsets, but just being on the water was so nice. It's a quick 7 minute drive to a coffee shop and a couple of restaurants: Sister Bay is 15 minutes away with a lot more options. There were people staying in the connected unit, but we only heard them in the shared garage. It was very private. Overall we would stay here again!

Best place to stay in Door County

This place is a true gem! The breathtaking view of Green Bay was only surpassed by the warmth, attentiveness, and genuine kindness of our hosts. Every detail of our stay was thoughtful and welcoming. We’ve found our forever getaway in Wisconsin—this will be our go-to spot from now on. We’re already looking forward to coming back this fall and next summer!
