The location was ideal—close enough to explore the peninsula, yet perfectly peaceful for an up-north retreat. Highly recommend—10/10! ##### wayne g.

It is a beautiful location. The property is tired. The beds were really great for sleeping. The views from inside the house on the lake side were wonderful. It was a dreary time that we were there but it allowed us time to explore the parks and Washington Island. Wickman House was exceptional! ##### Mary O.

It was quiet and peaceful. The Chalet is very well maintained, nicely decorated, with all the amenities you'd want in a lakefront cabin. The hot tub was an extra treat. There are a handful of restaurants, I highly recommend Blue Bear for breakfast, and drinking establishments, Cider House was great, the location does require some driving to points of intrest, though nothing is more than 30 minutes away. I highly recommend The Chalet for anyone looking for a quiet family retreat. I'm hoping to plan another stay next year with my sons family. ##### Lizabeth W.

The house was just as advertised, not new, but very comfortable, a fantastic view, and all the amenities we required. A bonus was finding the complete collection of Walter Farley’s “ Black Stallion” books in the bookcase. I read them all as a child and was delighted to see them again!

This was a truly once-in-a-lifetime family reunion. My five brothers and I traveled from all corners of the world, and this was the first time the six of us had been together in over 30 years. We were seeking a place that could handle our large group and provide a serene backdrop for such a significant event, and this home delivered beautifully.From the start, the management was exceptional. The manager was consistently responsive and this excellent communication made planning a massive global reunion feel simple and stress-free.The location itself, in the beautiful Door County area, is simply unparalleled. It provided a sense of peace and serenity that allowed us all to truly relax and reconnect.To us, this timing felt like a gift. As our parents face illness, the opportunity to gather the six brothers and share this precious time together was invaluable and deeply moving. We truly feel God guided us to this specific place to reunite our family and bring us closer.We highly recommend this beautiful home for any family or group looking to create lasting memories. Thank you to the owners and manager for sharing this special home with us. ##### Christopher R.

It was clean and well kept. The hot tub was a plus as we looked out over the view of Lake Michigan! The house is very roomy with plenty of space for a large family. Nearby are hiking trails and plenty of quiet roads to bike on. There is an excellent farm to table, Italian restaurant in the neighborhood.-Della Porto. Communication with the owner was very easy. I would highly recommend this VRBO! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/edccdcbe-a81a-4903-af4a-e0086a72484f-1757634556493.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a2190c51-e9ce-4358-a4a6-7c96c4923f99-1757634562979.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dd91e956-6f1b-45b6-bf8b-0946a6c02657-1757634564823.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/70fa03cc-50b7-4fe9-9b8c-a6ca38261536-1757634559190.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Heidi S.

House is clean and cozy. We enjoyed our trip! ##### Monika W.

The cottage has all the details you need to grill and cook, we also enjoyed the hot tub and watching sunsets on the dock. The host Jen was responsive to questions and came to be sure we had a flash light during Saturday’s storm. Be sure to go to Ellison Bay’s Cider House and the cute KickAsh Bakery! We also loved Washington Island plus all the brew pubs and dining in Egg Harbor, Fish Creek, and Baileys Harbor. Of course we also enjoyed Northern Sky theatre and golfing at Peninsula State Park. Lots to do but be sure to spend time just floating in the lake. Wonderful family vacation. ##### Melissa B.

The hot tub was great to have after a day in blacksmith class. Had all the amenities you could want and the fire pit near the beach provided amazing views. ##### Kirk L.
