The house was extremely clean and cozy. It was in a great location too. I have been to many vrbo’s and I would just suggest to have a small shampoo and body wash in case guests didn’t bring any. It’s a nice little touch. I would definitely stay there again!

We want to thank you for sharing your family’s home with us! The house is immaculate and well-decorated. It was also fully stocked with anything we might need or want. The property itself is beautiful, settled into a clean, wooded area. Location is everything, and this house is ideally located close to all of the Sister Bay places that we love so much. We even walked back and forth to the beach several times with full loads and never felt it was far! We had an amazing week was a family, and we are, again, so thankful that you shared this house with us!

Perfect location to walk/bike to the main part of Sister Bay, clean and cozy with everything you would need. The backyard and patio furniture are perfect. We had many meals outside and nights by the fire.

Perfect location

We stayed at this beautiful house that was easily walkable to sister bay. The house was nicely updated and super clean and it was on a perfect quiet street. My family of four with kids 10 and 11 had the best week and looking forward to rebooking for next year.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage with our two kids! The location couldn’t be better — just a short walk to downtown Sister Bay for breakfast, shopping, and the beach. The cottage was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed (and even things we didn’t realize we’d want!) — from beach towels to marshmallow sticks for evening s’mores. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and the host’s communication was excellent. This was the perfect spot for an October weekend, and we’re already planning to return!

Hits the spot

For me this stay it was perfect location - choice of spots to watch the game, eat and meet friends for cherry drop (look it up), all 5 minutes walking at most. The cottage was cleaned professionally, well outfitted and kept up.

Great home, great location

Very comfortable place to relax, sleep and decompress. Sister Bay is a great place to stay as it’s easy to get to any destination on the Peninsula from there. Good communication with homeowner and all of the home rules and expectations are clearly laid out.

Honeymoon House

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. The furniture in the bedrooms was a bit different than we were expecting, but it didn’t make too much of a difference for us. The location was fantastic and it was a good “home base” for us while we adventurer around Door County.

Great location

If you want great location and access to all that upper Door County offers this might be the place. This cottage is clean, completely updated, well maintained and located with in walking distance of all the town's amenities. Sister Bay has plenty of great restaurants and bars. The cottage is 2 blocks from the lake and not far from all the state and county parks in Door county.

Lovely location! Cute house!

House was very clean. Looked very new. Excellently outfitted. Cute, quiet getaway. But very close to shops and restaurants. Cleanest rental that I have experienced. Could tell owners took a lot of effort to make sure guests had everything they needed. Will definitely come back.

Perfect for our family!

We had a wonderful stay at Matthew's place. The location is perfect, just a hop skip jump from the lake and downtown sister bay. We really enjoyed being close enough to everything but just off the main drag so we could have privacy and quiet when needed. Everything was as described! We were comfortable with the amenities and new AC system. We easily had a bonfire one evening as well! We will most definitely consider using Matthew's place for our next Door County trip.

Quiet retreat for the weekend.

We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Home was nicely finished and had all the amenities, and more, that we needed. Location was very convenient yet quiet. Everything was very clean and check in and out was simple as can be. Have to say the fall fall colors this year were amazing - best we've seen ever. Loved going to all our favorite restaurants and galleries. Love staying in Sister Bay since we spend almost all of our time on that end of the Peninsula. Thanks for everything to our hosts.
