Great Door Country Getaway

We had a wonderful time in Door County, and this property was perfect for our family. The home was clean, spacious, and had many amenities to make it an ideal place to stay. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck after a busy day of adventures, playing games in the house, and walks to the lake nearby. We would definitely visit again.

Excellent Recovery Cottage for Fall 50

Great little cottage away from the hustle and bustle of Sturgeon Bay. Close enough the get to where we needed, yet far enough to decompress after the Door County Fall 50. Plenty of space for my family, quiet location, all of the needed amenities and then some. Could kick back, watch a movie, sip some coffee, and watch the deer walk across the backyard.

Spacious Cabin`

This was a lovely spot for my first trip to Door County. We shopped in Sturgeon Bay the first day and found many very nice shops and restaurants. The next 2 days we drove the pennnsula and discovered many other very picturesque spots with good shops and restaurants. Would highly recommend this VRBO to friends who plan on visiting the area.

Exceptional cabin & stay

The cabin was very clean and nicely decorated. Loved the Door County emphasis. The kitchen was well appointed and had some beautiful carvings on the cabinet doors. There were many carvings throughout. The remodel is well done. The beds were very comfortable. It was so quiet and only a short walk to the water. We enjoyed a visit from a family of deer on our last evening. The owners do a great job of taking care of the cabin. I would highly recommend this cabin!

Getaway with Granddaughters

Uncle Bob’s Cabin was much better than described on VRBO. We were surprised with how spacious it was! And such a lovely setting. Near the road but we hardly heard or saw a car. The house was so clean and included everything we needed. Little touches in the kitchen like the glasses and dishes with cherry designs were an added surprise. The beds were very comfortable, including the sofa bed in the family room. We enjoyed going out for the day, but looked forward to coming “home” and playing cards, drinking flavored coffee and laughing together most of all. We would like to return with more family members next year…

My family loved the rental and our time in Door County. The rental was very clean with comfy beds and plenty of room for the family. It was a short walk to the bay where we enjoyed the evening sunsets. Judy was a great host and made sure my family was comfortable. We will definitely stay here again.
