All was great with the property and the agent. Only disappointment was the bay. It is so full of grass/weeds that you can’t fish.

Lovely Getaway
This house is a great place for a family vacation. We enjoyed the beautiful water views, kayaks and fishing from the dock. (We did not swim due to thick vegetation in water.). Pretty sunrises and sunsets can be watched from the large deck. Inside is small, but cozy and thoughtfully appointed. So much is included here that will save you packing - extra linens, beach towels, games, toys (baby - 10), coolers, laundry detergent/dryer balls, sound machine, baby monitor, pots/pans/utensils/seasonings, fish cleaning knife, roasting sticks, and the list goes on. It is a quick 15min drive into Sturgeon and one hour to the tip of peninsula to catch the Washington Ferry. My family of 5 had a great time and would definitely stay again.

Truly a "Hidden Gem"
This property is located on Sturgeon Bay and the views of the water are panoramic across the property. The water can be seen from nearly windows on the property and is only about 50 feet from the water. The property owners were most helpful and truly cared about our comfort and preferences.

Quiet Getaway Spot
If you want to get away from the downtown hustle and bustle, this is the place! In a week there, we only saw ducks, geese, one lone swan and two fishermen (once). However within ten minutes you can find wonderful spots to eat or even Christmas shop. I did both!!

Hidden at a dead end with other homes around but very quiet. Clean, welcoming touches, serene lake view and the communication was great with the host. The many geese arriving and departing was entertaining every day! We recommend this VRBO!

Wonderful stay!
The cabin is located right on the water - we were pleasantly surprised by the availability of outdoor seating, kayaks & life jackets, a fully stocked kitchen and two on-property fire pits. Kim was extremely responsive and helpful in answering our questions and making sure we were taken care of during our stay. It was a serene and fun time here.

Very nice and quiet
We sat under the maple tree and watched the wildlife on the bay for a couple of hours. We really enjoyed the Pelicans fishing. Also saw an otter, king fisher and lots of ducks and geese. Very relaxing. The only down-side is that the beds are small. But, overall, we really enjoyed this property.

Summer Holiday Weekend
My parents and I had an amazing stay for the July 4th weekend! We enjoyed the cabin style decor and cute kitchen. Spent a peaceful morning kayaking on the lake out back, and had unobstructed views of fireworks at night! Kimberly was communicative and thoughtful, and we are so glad to have stayed here for our Door County experience!
