Great stay in Door County
The house is located in a great location in a fairly quiet smaller town just a short drive to some of the busier areas. Our family loved staying here, the bedroom layout worked perfectly and the house was equipped with everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

Great vacation rental
The property is lovely. Though close to the main street, it's actually very quiet after daytime hours. Overall spacious, clean, and well maintained . Kitchen has basic dinnerware and some basic cookware for cooking simple meals. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Charming cottage for family trip
This was a great place for our annual trip to Door County. We loved being close to the beach, coffee shops, and our favorite restaurant, Wickman House. We had plenty of room for 7 adults to sit and visit both inside and outside on the patio. We loved the mid-century vibe, art work on the walls and the plush beach towels! Check in was easy and communication with Willow was great. We look forward to staying again.

We had a wonderful time at the cottage! Super clean and very cute (artful and not cluttered) decor. Also loved how much more peaceful and calm Ellison bay is in the summer compared to the other bay towns. Willow was a great host and communicated really quickly!

Perfect Home Base
My sister and I explored Door County from this beautiful home base. The property is an oasis after a busy day. We enjoyed returning to it for a cozy evening and a good nights sleep. It was also nicely situated for walks to the surrounding area stores, restaurants, and park on the bay. Although we didn't need it, the upstairs bedroom is so cozy! We would definitely stay there again.

Summer Getaway with Extended Family
This garden cottage VRBO was perfect for our family. Extended family members were able to meet up with us, have drinks on the patio and then head to the outdoor movie theater and tailgate with a pizza party! So much fun! We all wore pink for the Barbie movie and enjoyed ourselves making our time together special and memorable.
