Great location with lake views and close to walking/bike path. We enjoyed our relaxing stay spending every day by the lake and exploring many good nearby restaurants. Although the house was too big for the two of us it was cozy, relaxing and clean. Thanks to our host and hope to return soon!
This home is warm and cozy and perfect for a family. Right across the street from mariner's trail. Has everything needed to be comfortable. I also worked fromThe house and the WiFi worked great.
We came to pay final respects to our families matriarch, explored Sturgeon Bay and attended the Packer game. Your home was centrally located and had plenty to keep a family busy when we had down time. We especially liked the volleyball net
This house has everything you need for a great beach vacation! House is stocked with yard and beach items and the owner has thought of everything you need if you forget anything! Great experience would come again!! Located by so many opportunities!
Our family enjoyed our stay in this vacation home. It is nicely decorated and the kitchen is well stocked. The outdoor area is ample and pleasant. The owner was attentive to our questions and needs.
Since we had young children in our group, we found the visits to the zoo, mini-golf and the beach which are all close by, added to our fun.
The house was very clean. It had a great dining room area where everyone can sit. The location was awesome. We all felt very safe. The checkin procedure was very simple. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Thank you.
We have rented this house every summer for about 10 years now. The guys love salmon and trout fishing on Lake Michigan and the girls love Neshotah Beach. Great place to spend time with family and friends around the campfire. The host is great and is very quick to respond to any problem at all. Will definitely book next year!
We have stayed at this property every summer for a week for about ten years now. We love that it's big enough for all 14 of us. The backyard grill area and deck are used constantly. The women and kids love Neshotah beach and the guys are fishing on lake Michigan. Also Property manager Rosalie is great to work with. Always gets everything taken care of swiftly. Going back next summer.
The house was very welcoming with a well appointed kitchen, 4 spacious bedrooms, a lovely deck with great seating and a grill, indoor and outdoor toys and games, fire pit, and full size laundry. We played games around the dining room table and relaxed in the yard when we weren’t out and about. Best of all, we had a lake view (across the street) and a cool breeze. We had a wonderful family vacation, with fishing in Two Rivers and at Silver Lake, walking on Mariner’s Trail, swimming at Fischer Creek and finding sea glass, exploring Door County, trying Von Stiehl cherry cider, eating treats at Screamin’ Conuts, family pictures at Lighthouse Inn with Mariah as photographer, walking through the beautiful flowers at West of the Lake Gardens, and fun in Green Bay at Bay Beach. Highly recommend this property for a Door County adjacent vacation on Lake Michigan!!
We were a group of seven women who are in a book club together and for this month's meeting we decided to have a girls weekend on Lake Michigan! The cabin was easy to find, access and we all had our own space. Towels were fluffy and there were plenty of supplies for what we needed. Kitchen was clean and we utilized the oven and coffee maker for breakfast and the table was perfect for our group to play games and eat. We did use Outburst from the shelf and had a blast. We also played the headline game and had fun as well; thank you for having extra games! Water was hot for all of our showers and the water pressure was great. We were right off of Lake Michigan and the views were wonderful. We went into both Two Rivers and Manitowoc and enjoyed the restaurants, beaches, bookshops and other local businesses. Would recommend and would visit again!
We had a great stay! The value of this property related to proximity to beach, two towns and view was great. The house was clean, there were a lot of spiderwebs and spiders in the windows, which did not impact us negatively. Would stay again!
It had everything we needed for the 13 of us. Beautiful views of Lake Michigan. Great sitting out on deck in the mornings and looking at the lake! Rosalee was wonderful to work with! Would definitely recommend!
