Great Fall Getaway!
My husband and I, along with our 13 year old Golden Retriever, Katie Rose, very much enjoyed our four night stay at the Timberline Cottage up at the northern end of the Door Peninsula near Gill's Rock. The cottage was very nicely furnished and there was plenty of room for us to spread out in, including in a pretty screened porch. For us, the cottage's location nestled in the woods away from much of Door County congestion was just what we were looking for, in terms of having a quiet, restful stay with good access to hiking where we could enjoy the beautiful fall colors at nearby Newport State Park. We're very happy that we found this cottage and look forward to a return visit! Linda

Great Northern DC getaway
We were looking to explore the Northern tip of Door County on this trip. Timberline Cottage was a great home base location. Very easy access to Washington Island and new faves, like the Ellison Bluff overlook and trails, Kick Ash coffee, Charlie's Smokehouse, Bea's Homemade and Seaquist Orchards. To name a few :) Even though we spent most of our time in north part, it's a reasonable drive to anywhere in Door County! The cabin itself was awesome!! Very cozy and comfortable, beautifully decorated! Truly felt like a home away from home! We LOVED spending time on the screened porch (also our beagle's fave spot!). Big double thumbs up!! Highly recommend. Thank you Kelly and Joe! You're great hosts.

great little getaway spot
my second stay at this cottage-- cozy little spot! Away from the tourists, lots of great natural areas to explore in the area. Some of my favorites: Newport State Park's dark sky area and hiking trails Mink River Estuary Washington Island And don't miss Bea's Ho-Made Pies, just around the corner from the house--remember to pick up vanilla ice cream at The Pig! Kelly is a great host-- check in process is easy and she's easily reachable if you need anything. Beds are comfortable, wood burning fireplace and plenty of wood, screened in porch, what else does a person need!

SUCH a great place - could not have asked for more. Despite there being no central air, the cabin DOES stay cool at night w/ all the windows open and fans going. Host was so incredibly responsive and helpful. Would certainly stay here again.

Beautiful woodsy getaway
Timberline cottage was great! The house was perfectly clean and well organized upon arrival. It is set back off the road in a cozy wooded area with plenty of privacy and a comfortable area to hang out outside by the fire. Kelly was a wonderful host and provided all the amenities you could possibly need. Would 10/10 recommend.

The cabin was absolutely beautiful, nestled in the woods away from all the noise of every day life. We loved our stay.

My husband and I LOVED Timberline Cottage! The cottage was lovely, comfy, and a peaceful getaway. We especially enjoyed the screened porch, where we listened to birds and recharged. We had everything we needed, and the decor is so thoughtful and iconic of the area. The owners are amazing hosts. Kelly was incredibly gracious. I cannot recommend this cottage and this couple more. And the area is incredible!

Quiet
This is a charming, cozy house, surrounded by trees and very quiet. The fully stocked coffee bar was great. The fireplace with all the necessities to build a fire adds to a cozy atmosphere. Comfortable beds and soft sheets and comforters were a huge plus. The attention to details and everything we needed for our week's stay. Close to Washington Island ferry and the scenic route of highway 42 getting there. Bike riding, and hiking are close. I would highly recommend this for vacation and hope to be a repeat guest.

Great getaway to Door County!
The property and surrounding area was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for for our mini fall vacay. The house was clean, beautifully decorated and in the perfect quiet spot to relax. We had all the amenities we needed at the house as well. We would definitely make our way back to this property next time we are looking to stay in Door county.

A Perfect Stay!
Many thanks to Joe & Kelly for opening their charming home so we could have the perfect vacation! Their home comes equipped with everything you need and has a lovely screened porch (my favorite!). It’s a short drive to the harbor towns for shopping and dining, and Newport State Park with great hiking and a beach is minutes away. Joe & Kelly were great to work with and we look forward to returning soon.

Great cabin and great owners
This cabin fully deserves 5 stars. It was the perfect cabin for us and our two boys - great location, perfect size, awesome screened porch, and overall an attractive property. Kelly was amazing - she really sets the standard for "best practice" when it comes to communication with guests. Kelly went above and beyond to answer our questions about the cabin & area and quickly addressed anything needing attention. Highly recommend!

Very gracious hosts
The property is adorable and stocked with anything you might need; there are even dog dishes and a lead set up and case you forget yours at home. They provide a substantial amount of firewood, which I have never experience in a short term rental. Kelly even reached out to me about fireworks happening in Sister Bay. But the real shining moment happened after our pup got sick and soiled their carpeting. I was mortified, but Kelly was not only helpful in reminding me that we had damage protection but also so understanding. Dog owner, or not, if you prefer the quieter side of Door County, this is the place to stay!

Quiet cabin in the woods
The cabin was exactly what we needed, a quiet escape from the fireworks noise in the city. Other than the Gills Rock fireworks show, only a few pops and whistles. Birds and the wind in the trees were the primary sounds for our visit. The dogs loved the deer visiting us several times too.
