Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie H. 1 Apr 2025 #### Great spring break stay Our family had a wonderful trip to Door County, and we enjoyed our stay at Rocky Shores Retreat! Despite the chilly early-spring weather, we stayed warm inside, and the fireplace between the large windows overlooking the bay made things cozy. The house was clean, and we had everything we needed and then some. We thought the beds were comfortable, the kids loved the bunkhouse, and we enjoyed the outdoor furniture for short bits of time (again, it was still a bit chilly!). The location of the house was great; we were right on the water, and the quiet meant that we could hear the lake clearly. Nevertheless, we were just a short drive from places to eat and things to do. We would be happy to stay again (if we don't buy our own Door County property, ha!). Dana and Timothea are SUPER responsive, so you'll be in good hands if anything happens or you have any questions. ##### Katie H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kendra W. 9 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The best stay in Door County We just left the most amazing vacation at Rocky Shores Retreat! There are a lot of places to stay in Door County, but I can’t imagine a more lovely place to sit by the water than this home. I was here with my husband and another couple, and we had a lovely time. The house has great amenities, a great host, and a great location on the lake. We missed in the listing that it has one bathroom, but we were glad that didn’t stop us from booking, because it was so wonderful. Your biggest challenge will be visiting without dreaming of moving to Door County! ##### Kendra W.

It's an exceptional place, inside and out. We really appreciated the lovely and organized interior living space, with its great view of the water (even from the kitchen!) and good supply of games. We were also very impressed with the responsiveness of our host, Dana, to any questions or concerns. Favorite memories include roasting s'mores by the fire pit while watching the sunset or star gazing, and kayaking to and from the Sunset Grill one evening. ##### Barbara S.

Home offering lovingly thoughtout amenities We really enjoyed our stay at this meticulously thought out property. The well organized kitchen was particularly helpful in preparing as many meals as we did. Our party included our 14 year old twins and 20 year old. All boys. They kayaked, fished, swam and enjoyed roasting marshmallows over the fiirebowl. Our one son caught several fish from one of the kayaks. We particularly liked the seclusion with easy access to Sturgeon Bay if you want go into town. It leaves room for many options. ##### C. H.
