Super cute property within walking distance of the lake, shopping, and dining. Had a nice fire pit area and plenty of parking. Would definitely stay here again

The property was very nice and in a wonderful area! We could walk to all the places we wanted to go! Only downside was the coffee shop was closed.

Amazing!
We had an awesome experience here. Rooms were very spacious, clean and modern. Room was ready early and without even checking in we got a text saying our room was ready. Location was great, walking distance to everything. It was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend.

The room was cute and spacious. We had a little trouble figuring out the heat at first, but once we did, the temperature was good. I appreciate the location, close to several restaurants and shops. My youngest was excited about the folded swan-shaped towel in the bathroom! Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

This property is located in a great location. Just off the main road, but close enough to be able to walk to restaurants, stores, and the marina. Our room had a nice porch to sit and enjoy some wine.

Room clean but average. Coffee shop was the reason we chose the property and it was closed. The shower sets off the fire alarm and that was also an annoyance.

Wonderful place, clean, up to date and modern! Right in the heart of town! Just wish the coffee shop was open each morning. Walking distance to downtown! Husband and I were looking forward to it! But multiple coffee shops open in sister bay that are right around the corner.

We stayed Thursday night, September 21st for 1 night. Everything was closed up. We had to check into the room using a digital code, since the lobby was closed . The proprietors ran this hotel remotely. No dining or food service, the coffee shop was closed for the season, no lobby coffee since it is closed, no chair to sit on inthe room, rooms were not soundproof, I could hear the people next door talking and coughing.....not happy with this hotel at all for the price I paid. I want a refund!

Tiny room and bathroom. Advertised it’s great amenities and services—there are none. Door stuck and took lots of effort to open. Both remote controls had dead batteries. Only two thin towels. Shower floor was slick- almost fell multiple times. Shower curtain and base didn’t keep water in the shower. Definitely not worth over $200 per night. Only positive was it was located in downtown Sister Bay.

Great location! A few areas would suggest some improvement! They have some nice places to sit outside to sit and have a drink but they do not have an ice machine available for guests. That should be a given that the property provides an ice machine. Second, no coffee offered in the room for guests. I get that they probably want guests to buy coffee at the little coffee shop they also run on the property but very limited hours, Sunday morning it said they opened at 8:00, no one was there. Last, the office has very limited hours in general. One other small item was the soap dispenser in the shower did not work, I would have gone to the office to ask for another bar of soap or have them fix it but again, office was closed. For the price per night the property charges, these should be staple items provided.

Not quite worth the money
PROS: Right off the main drag of Sister Bay, so very convenient location. Clean, tasteful furnishings if a bit spartan, very comfortable beds, good shower/water pressure, cafe with lovely baristas and good food and coffee/tea (I will definitely take advantage of that in future..no wait) CONS: Another guest had to help me figure out which room I was in by guessing and how to get into said room. I had called with arrival time and the manager seemed in a hurry to get off the phone telling me my welcome e-mail had been sent. I didn't get it until 20 hours later for whatever reason. The room could have used a better lamp for reading. While beautiful, the bedside lamp was more for ambience. Would be perfect on the dresser. Could use towel racks by the sink. The high wall unit for A/C had a very bright light when the room was dark. I had to cover it with four layers of towel. Probably the worst part is that the walls are so thin that I could hear the conversations of the guests on both sides of my room. Some 3/4" drywall and insulation would have helped in the construction. Lastly, on Saturday a very loud and scary fire alarm went off for a good 10-15 minutes. As there was no one on the property I had to look up the number of the place and call it several times, but the connection was never clear. I ended up having to call 911, not knowing what else to do. I can say it's the only Inn I've ever gone to that has no assistance present. And no ice for my drink. :(

Response from Goose on 2 Aug 2023
We are very sorry for your experience in our hotel, unfortunately the reason for some of these mishaps is because you must of misunderstood the text. You must of missed the part of the text message, which you answered, mentioning that we needed your email in order to send you the welcome letter. This was also our second attempt of reaching out, and at this point we hadn't received your text until 8 hours later at 4:23 pm. Resulting in you not receiving the welcome letter until 4:45 pm, not 20 hours later. In the first text message we did mention that we were not a 24 hour service hotel, like most hotels in Sister Bay. Now, concerning the fire alarm that went off, we have certain precautions and procedures we take, and they were all taken care of appropriately, your calls were not answered because we were taking care of these precautions, calling 911 was very unnecessary. Regarding you not being able to find your room, we went outside to see if there were any changes needing to be made, but there are signs by the parking lots guiding you to where the rooms was very visible from almost every point on the property. We apologize for the issues in the room, we hadn't noticed them to be a problem in the past, so we thank you for your feedback. We do have evidence for the problems concerning you receiving your welcome letter and you not finding your room properly. Thank you for staying at Goose and Twigs. Have a lovely day!

It was just ok I’ve never stayed at a hotel where I never saw one employee even check in was done without an employee. When I asked for cleaning they made the bed but didn’t give me new towels. There was a number of huge stains in the carpet that you have to fix you can’t rent a room with huge gross stains. No one told us that the coffee shop was closed

Hi there Hanna the Manager here, thank you for the review. Not everyone prefers self-check in and totally understand, it’s new technology that some are not use to. 99% of our customers love the self check in process and sorry you didn’t find it comfortable on the other hand to keep our rates competitive we don’t want to have a 24 hours front desk person waiting for just 1 or 2 rooms guest. We send welcome letter via email with all information on hotel along with information in the room in the booklet. Also we do have guest that like to have coffee in the rooms and do make the mistake of spilling, we just had our carpets cleaned today for summer season. We clean carpets weekly ourself and professionally cleaned once or twice a year. We apologize for the stains. We are an eco-friendly minimalist style hotel. For make up service if towels are hung, we leave them to get reused, if they on the floor we replace as we explain I. The booklet. A washing machine takes 20-30 gallons of water for one cycle to clean towel that was used once, people can reuse their towels to help save water consumption or feel you need new towels you can leave them on the floor. The information about our coffee shops schedule is as well published in our website. Thank you for staying with us and hope cleared any confusion. G&T
