Unforgettable stay!
We recently stayed at the property with our group of 11. kids to adults, property was PERFECT for everyone! The house is decorated immaculately & has all the amenities you’d need. There is a large room on the second floor that has the most beautiful views to wake up to of the water! We spent most our time when we were at the house enjoying the INCREDIBLE views of the water from the deck that had a very clean hot tub. We had smores every night by fire pit that had comfortable chairs, & we loved taking in the stunning sunsets from down by the water where the kids paddle boarded. & we walked on the rocks. Water shoes recommended as the rocks can be slippery. We rented a boat from Wave Point Marina where Chris made it extremely easy for our group to get out. They rent 4 or 8 hours. We really enjoyed how peaceful it was at the house & on the water. We also highly recommend going to Cave Point park & WhiteFish Bay Dunes. The beach at the dunes is on lake mI & the sand is beautiful & white, & the water is so clean & blue!!! Shopping downtown was so great at the shops down on 3rd street. On Saturdays they have a HUGE farmers market that was awesome! We loved dinner at Donny Glidens if you love supper clubs, & views of lake MI. more casual Sonny’s we also highly recommend in sturgeon Bay.. Scaturos bakery had awesome take & bake meals as well as delicious baked goods. All in all this stay was 100/10. From the house, & the host & all the activities in the area. We can’t wait to go bac

A Little Bit of Door County Heaven
All of the bells and whistles, and great responsiveness from the owners. It's clear that the hosts care about their guest's experience! Our group had one grandparent, three adult siblings and their partners, and four kids (13, 13, 12, 11). The layout of the house was: - Basement: separate bedroom with King, full bath, full sized laundry and dryer, living room with games and TV. -Main floor: bedroom with King, full bath, kitchen, living room, dining room. Second floor: bedroom with King (open loft so not fully enclosed FYI for any light sleepers, but gorgeous view) connected to full bath, including tub; bedroom with bunk beds and a trundle; bedroom with Queen. We put our two small-ish girls on the bottom bunk as that is a larger bed, one boy on the top twin bunk, and one boy on the trundle. We spent the first night cooking dinner (kitchen has all pots, pans, dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, foil/saran, measuring cups, drinking cups, etc. we needed) and eating on the amazing deck, followed by fabulous hot-tubbing looking at the stars. Separate fluffy towels provided! The next day we brought our inflatables down to the lake. Very serene and calm. As with all lake swimming I recommend wearing water shoes for slipperiness from seaweed/algae on the rock shore. Lovely temperature. A very decent grocery store with great meat selection 15 minutes down the road. Propane and wood provided. They even had extending forks for s'more making in the fire pit! LOVED IT!

Our extended family had a wonderful stay at this property. All communications with the owners was great. The house was clean and roomy enough for our large group. Large deck and hot tub were great for relaxing. Peaceful, quiet and beautiful setting. Sunsets were gorgeous. Large dining room table was great for board game nights. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the future!

Great home, stunning views, fantastic experience.
Our group had an absolutely fantastic time during our stay in Sturgeon Bay - largely, in part, due to the hospitality of our hosts! Prior to our trip, communication with Anthony was a breeze. Hetook great care in setting everything up for our check-in. As first time visitors to Door County, that was a huge plus! Though we didn't utilize the garage for our cars, it was incredibly neat and ready to use. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a lovely welcome note and gift. The kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms were stocked with all the necessary supplies, and the accommodations were really comfortable. We made use of all the fantastic outdoor amenities - the chairs, fire pit, dining table, and hot tub - to take in the gorgeous views of the bay. From start to finish, we had a wonderful experience. We're grateful to have stayed and look forward to visiting again the future!

What a wonderful place to stay for our group of 10 from 3 generations. Beautiful home, well appointed, great location to lower Door County and Green Bay. Beds are comfortable, sunsets are spectacular. Tony and Anthony were excellent communicators and made sure we were well cared for. Highly recommend the hot tub! The master bedroom has an incredible view, but can get bright on the mornings. Already plan to return next year!

Wonderful house
Loved the house. They provided a lot of little extras that were not expected. The property around the house is not as big as it looks in the pictures. The neighbors are very close. We had many relatives in the area that came to the house and there was plenty of room. We were there for a long weekend and had a wonderful time. would definitely recommend the house for others.

My family of 8 absolutely loved this home. The views were absolutely stunning. We loved the outdoor firepit and making s'mores. The house is very spacious and well decorated. We had 3 couples and a 20 year old and 18 year old. We all had our own space at night. Everything we needed was there, and the beds and sitting places were very comfortable.

Door County Family Vacation
We stayed in the house for 8 nights for a family vacation in June - 10 adults and one child (3 yrs old). It was a very nice house, clean, well stocked, with plenty of room for everyone. We ate outside on the deck every night and sat around by the fire and looked out at the sunset in the evening. There is lake access down some steep stairs but not really suitable for swimming. We went to several of the nearby parks - there are some beautiful state parks with lots of hiking and swimming and also some great county parks that were very uncrowded, free, and also good for swimming. Hosts were responsive to inquiries and check-in was easy. Wifi was fast and worked well. Overall a great place for a Door County vacation!

Amazing jumping off point for a Door County weekend!
We had a wonderful winter stay at this beautiful home on Little Sturgeon Bay! The house was clean, very well equipped, great location, quiet and peaceful. And one of the best things was being able to enjoy the hot tub on the deck, even with temps in the teens it was still super warm and comfortable. Highly recommend for small or large groups. Check in was very easy as was communicating with the hosts. We also really appreciated the garage parking. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

Terrific home on the bay
This is a great property and we would definitely stay here again. The deck and patio are spectacular. Gorgeous view of the bay, with a firepit. Very clean and well maintained home and exterior. The view from the master bedroom is beautiful. Nice stairs going down to the lake, but not really swimmable, as it's rocky and slippery. Beds are very comfortable. Kitchen has all the things we needed for our party of 9. Leaves available for the table for dining inside, large outside table. The only caveat is that if you will be spending a lot of time toward the northern end of Door County you will be driving a fair amount. If that is not a big deal for you, this place is ideal for a larger crew. The owner and property manager are very responsive.
