We enjoyed being close to the restaurants in Ellison Bay and walking in the neighborhood. We received a quick response when having some difficulty with WIFI which was appreciated.
This was our second stay, and we enjoyed it as much as our first, two years ago. Great home-base location for all the hiking we wanted to do, including a day trip to Washington Island.
What a great stay! Perfect amount of room -
Comfortable sitting area and great kitchen! Loved the little cottage and the location - a nice slow pace compared to other locations! Loved it and totally recommend!
We had a wonderful time hiking and sight seeing in DC. Many laughs and great memories made.

Lovely stay for an odd-season visit to DC! Very comfy for our family of 4. We enjoyed the fun board games, gas fireplace, and well-appointed kitchen for an easygoing time!
The owner of the property is amazing! She is responsive and helpful. The cottage was clean and charmingly decorated. Our group of 3 fit comfortably, there would’ve been room for more. I would love to stay here again! Five stars!
The cottage/apartment is very comfortable and and nicely decorated. It is within walking distance to good restaurants, beach, grocery store and shops, not to mention just a short drive to some of the most beautiful natural places in Door County.
If you want to have everything within walking distance and feel you're in what Door County used to be like, this is the place to stay. All the comforts of home, in quaint Ellison Bay. From coffee shops to gifts shops and boutiques. Antiques to dining, beaches to sunsets, it's all waiting for you to come and enjoy while you stay at the cottage.
We had the best week at this place! It was clean and exactly as described (honestly even nicer in person). It was just 1 block to all of the restaurants, coffee shops etc in Ellison Bay which is a lovely town much quieter than several of the other ones but still with plenty of great options as well as a park & beach. Only a 10 min drive to sister Bay and Gill Harbor, we found it very easy to get around and would absolutely stay here again.
The location was perfect. We could walk to the coffee shop and the Blue bear. the area was quieter. we enjoyed playing trivia and sipping wine in the evening.
We were 4 friends attending a wedding at wickman house and this was the perfect location. Walking distance to wickman, delish cidery across the street, mink (bar) down the street. 8min drive to sister bay. House is spacious clean and comfortable.
My sister and I explored Door County from this beautiful home base. The property is an oasis after a busy day. We enjoyed returning to it for a cozy evening and a good nights sleep. It was also nicely situated for walks to the surrounding area stores, restaurants, and park on the bay. Although we didn't need it, the upstairs bedroom is so cozy! We would definitely stay there again.
This garden cottage VRBO was perfect for our family. Extended family members were able to meet up with us, have drinks on the patio and then head to the outdoor movie theater and tailgate with a pizza party! So much fun! We all wore pink for the Barbie movie and enjoyed ourselves making our time together special and memorable.
I could not have been more pleased. It is comfortable and serene. The outdoor garden spaces are a plus. I sincerely thought about calling into work one day and extending our stay. Thank you thank you
Beautiful, spacious Ellison Bay cottage (in town!)
My family was so lucky to get this little cottage. We come every year to Door County, but I hadn't spent much time in Ellison Bay. Staying here completely changed my mind on this part of the peninsula. It's so charming and quiet and has great coffee within walking distance. The house itself is very clean, bright, spacious and had every amenity my kids (ages 11, 9 and 7) could want. Loved the private parking in the back too. Our hosts were responsive and helpful as well. We'd definitely recommend this home to our friends, and if we are ever in need of another DC rental we will look it up again!
The cottage is in an ideal location for biking and restaurants. Very quiet after a hard days play. Our only complaint(s)were the bathroom sink needs some TLC, trickle of water at most and the sink was very slow to drain. Needed more kitchen trash bags. Ole time bikers
