There was a fair amount of dog hair which could have bee cleaned up better and I would recommend some softer pillows on the beds but miner things that could be improved upon. ##### Julie K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Felipe X I. 15 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a fabulous stay here with friends a couple of weekends ago. The property is beautifully designed, spotless, and full of thoughtful touches—even doggy treats for our pup who joined last minute. The attention to detail made the stay feel truly special.If you’re looking for a spacious, stylish retreat in Door County with woods as your backyard and just a short drive to great restaurants and water activities, this is a perfect choice. Highly recommend! ##### Felipe X I.

Especially for a family with children. Although I admit we weren’t at the house often because there is so much to do in door county, when we did have down time we were playing with games and toys at the house. Both inside and outback. ##### Lauren H.

The space was very spacious with a nice flow to the floor plan. We loved the great kitchen and wet bar, which were perfect for both entertaining and family time. It truly served as an enjoyable family retreat where we spent quality moments watching movies, playing games, and even coloring at the large dining table. We also appreciated the convenient drive to Fish Creek for a fun girls’ afternoon painting pottery, and we enjoyed the walks and hiking in the wooded area. Our only wish was that it had been a bit warmer so we could have made even more use of the outdoor space for bonfires or lingering walks. Thank you for providing such a wonderful getaway! ##### Stacie R.
