Relaxing get away!

It was so relaxing and cozy. Getting up in the morning and enjoying our coffee and breakfast on the wonderful porch and then heading to the shore to catch the views of the lake. We headed to many of the Door county sites during the day and again enjoyed the quiet back at the cabin. Even had a chance to extend and extra much needed vacation.

The location was great! We had a fantastic time right on the water and using the fire pit as well. The downside was that cleaning was a bit lacking.

Beautiful Lake View

We had a lovely stay and had to force our dog to leave! The house had everything we needed. The outdoor space was the perfect place to eat breakfast and watch the sun set over the lake. We wished we could have stayed longer.

Very rustic place. Needs a really good cleaning. There were gnats all over the floor and kitchen. Also, they had box fans instead of air-conditioning – which normally would be fine, but it was a very humid weekend, unfortunately. Also, the box fans need to be cleaned. They were very dirty.The towels and sheets were clean. And the refrigerator was clean.Wi-Fi worked great.Absolutely gorgeous sunsets.Overall, I think it was a little too expensive for the quality of the place.

A bit disappointed

While the location of this property was good, we were disappointed for the price we paid. This is an old property and one of the more run down in the neighborhood. The worst part- there is no air conditioning- not even a window unit. There is also only one bathroom.

Vaca 2025

There was no mention of the 15 flight of stairs up to the bedrooms. Had no idea all the bedrooms were upstairs. Another 4 or 5 stairs from the back of property to the water. There is no beach and the description mentions Larsons reef is 40 yards from the beach which I don’t think is accurate . I believe Larsons is across the water. The book on the table is outdated going thru the details of the place . The stairs for us were the main thing. My husband can’t do 15 stairs. He slept on the couch.

Beautiful location on the bay

This place is as advertised. We had everything we needed at the cottage to have a nice time and the beds were very comfortable. The real appeal is the location on the bay which is beautiful, especially at sunset. As other reviewers have mentioned, this is not a good spot for swimming because of the rocks but it was great to be able to have our own spot on the water.

Beautiful

This is a beautiful location, the sunsets were amazing. We enjoyed sitting on the screened porch and having fires on the shore. Lovely that our dogs were welcome. The only drawback was that the rocks in the lake were so slippery with seaweed that no one could get into the water to swim. I have never before found myself unable to access a lake like this. We had expected to be able to swim. We noticed that the neighbors also did not swim. Overall, lovely, just not for swimming.

Know before you go

The first challenge was finding the right home, it is a shared driveway and the correct driveway has a No Trespassing sign which caused some confusion. The battery operated lock on the door did not work well and we ended up calling and getting a key. Once inside, the pictures are accurate. It is a rustic cabin, the oven does not work appropriately, it literally has a sign on it which states the temperature can vary any where from 50-100 degrees from the setting. The toilet did not work well, it was either continuously running or wouldn’t fill due to the float being stuck so I had to remove the lid and adjust routinely during our stay. The water does have a strong sulfur smell, which after showering seems to linger. The TV remote works occasionally, we even bought new batteries thinking that was the problem, but it did not fix the issues we experienced. I was looking forward to sitting in the back screened in porch, however except for the kitchen table, the furniture is not very sturdy or the plastic was ripped, the furniture is easily from before the 1980’s for sure. We drove up to Fish Creek and Egg Harbor which turned out to be longer than I anticipated which limited our time on occasion. Overall we made the best of it, but honestly we felt a little like we were camping. For the price we paid, I would expect a higher quality, particularly the kitchen and bathroom. Realistically I feel it is worth about half what we paid.

Lovely cottage on the bay

The cottage is so cozy inside, and includes all the amenities any cottage should - board games, binoculars, a wood burning fireplace, and a tv when you need to unwind. The sleeping quarters don't isolate sound as indicated in the description, but they are beautiful and high-ceilinged. I would stay again no question.

Fun vacation cabin

The place was exactly as advertised. Had plenty of room for everyone. The water in the shower smelled kind of sulfuric and had low pressure, but figured that was to be expected in a vacation cabin out of town. Would rent there again.

You won’t be disappointed (if you lower your expectations)

The water front location and outdoor seating - pictured first online - is the BEST part of this listing. The other pictures are misleading. Although the owners were easy to work with, and even communicated with us during our stay due to storm power outages in the area, the property itself leaves much to be desired. Surrounding properties have, and are currently, clearly being updated, but that is not the case here. We arrived to find the house completely unlocked, and the property binder containing incorrect information. The walls in the bathroom are currently being patched - and there is a combination of paint and putty throughout. The bath mat was dirty upon our arrival. There is no air conditioning, which is not a luxury, as the upstairs sleeping areas are unbearable during the day in the summer. The storms I mentioned earlier caused downed trees during our stay, and also caused some concern with the always open windows. One of the double mattresses rests directly on a wooden platform without any box springs. There is no dishwasher, and all of the water smells terrible. We had trouble with the toilet functioning properly - in the single bathroom that is the only option for this property which is supposed to sleep eight. Several pieces of the outdoor patio furniture were broken or rusted. If your expectations are low, along with your desire for modern conveniences, you will not be disappointed.
