Hayden Cousins Door County Weekend
We all had a wonderful time! Thank you!! The house is so special!! The fruit flies at the house, however, were horrible - but, fortunately, one of the cousins had a remedy [vinegar and dish soap in a glass] to 'drown' the little suckers which was pretty effective. We look forward to visiting again in 2025, hopefully!! Thanks again!!

Very Good Experience
Property was very suited to our needs. Had (Sept 11th-16th, 2024) a severe fruit fly problem. Our group of 10 tolerated the problem but extreme measures need to be taken in order to eliminate this. The tiny traps set during our stay did little to help. Second floor change in floor elevation, in the hallway, should be plainly marked and lit. Came as a surprise to some while walking the hallway for the first time. Ceiling fans in all the bedrooms would help comfort level, as wood screens on all bedroom windows. Grab bars in ALL shower enclosures would also be a excellent safety measure to consider.

Perfect for our family group
This was a perfect location for us! We had additional family staying in Sister Bay so it was very easy to connect with them. And we felt like we were nice and centrally located to get to the ferry for Washington Island all the way to activities in Egg Harbor. The property itself gave us lots of space to: have morning coffee on the porch, make meals, play games, and retreat to our own spaces to relax and/or sleep. Super responsive host and caretaker. Highly recommend!

What a beautiful cabin!
Incredibly beautiful and peaceful location. We enjoyed every aspect of the cabin (except the fire pit due to rain). Very convenient at only 10 mins to Sister Bay and 5 mins to Ellison Bay. Enjoyed being so close to Rowley's Bay to see the water. We hope to return again with even more family members in tow!

Great place!
Our group of 10 family members stayed 7 nights and had a great time. The home was clean and comfortable, with plenty of space for group meals and activities, or just finding a spot for some alone time reading. The kitchen was large and well stocked, and its lighting was fantastic. We all loved the covered patio in front, and especially the 3 season room off the kitchen. There are lots of games available to choose from, as well as books to read The entire setting for this property felt peaceful and private, and the host’s communication was exceptional. We will definitely be going back!

Great stay!
We had a great stay. Spacious, many places to sit and relax, eat, kitchen area was large, enjoyed the fire pit, very quiet area, didn’t hear any road noise at night, nice bedroom separation for our 3 couples and 2 adults so everyone had their own bedrooms, my family shared the upstairs shower but there are 2 bathrooms upstairs. It was nice having no steps or stairs for my older parents. Great place!

Perfect Two-Family Home
This house was absolutely perfect for two four-person families to enjoy Door County for a few days. The house itself was spotless and very comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked with cooking tools. I have zero complaints—I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

Fabulous Time
We loved our stay! The house is lovely—plenty of room for the 12 of us. The children enjoyed the games provided. There was room for them to play and for the adults to sit and talk. Very clear instructions were left in the binder for us. The beds were very comfortable; even my 12-year-old granddaughter commented on how comfortable her bed was (and she was on the pull-out bed!) The new addition which totally rebuilt the kitchen and expanded the dining area was WONDERFUL! There was plenty of room for prep work and conversation, and set up nicely. The new added 3-season room was a bit cold, as we were here in early spring, off-season, but it is a great addition and will be loved by many! Definitely recommend it!

We had a wonderful winter get away in your home! Plenty of space for our family of 8 adults to be together and also have privacy when needed. Everything was clean and ready when we arrived. The kitchen had eveything we needed and the heated floors were wonderful! All the beds were comfortable and there were plenty of pillows and blankets. We used a code to enter the home which was easy. The home was close to nearby state park for hiking and cross country skiing. We had a wonderful time and definitely would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin
The accommodations was clean and had everything that we needed during our stay. It was a little bit out of the way from activities, shopping and restaurants. There was some leaking from the roof in the Jacuzzi room, and the master bedroom. We wished there was a broom available to sweep up in the kitchen. Overall, a nice cabin to stay in,
