Celebrating family in the most beautiful place!
We have stayed in many places in our times of travel and this one is in the top 3 of the best places ever. We felt everything was accurate to description. The bathrooms were so nice and my daughter loved the colors she could change the light to. Never seen her so excited for a shower each night. The beds were so comfortable and we all felt at home. The view out back was a dream and we loved the gas fireplace to end each night as a family. I miss that the most! We got to see the northern lights and the comet this weekend. The fall colors were amazing and there are so many trails to hike in the back yard. This will be the most special trip for our entire family for years to come!

Couples retreat
4 couples stayed for a long weekend. The residence is secluded, but within 10-15 minutes of multiple communities. The home was just as the pics showed. Very contemporary and sleek. Each couple had their own bedroom. There is plenty of room for children to sleep if needed. Kitchen was welll stocked for cooking. 2 fire pits were very nice. We had two couples with asthma. The propane fire pit worked well for them. The residence met all of our objectives. We would rebook the home if returning. The hosts were very attentive to our needs. for chi

Magical Stay at The Lookout
We had an absolutely wonderful 3-night stay at The Lookout. The setting of the property is magical on beautiful private wooded acreage surrounded by trails and the bird estuary. The home itself is modern, clean, new and spacious. The large windows and minimalist design bring the outdoors in and provide a tranquil vibe. The hosts thought of everything - the coffee bar was amazing and the kitchen fully equipped for cooking - ample pans, dishes, utensils, etc. The 5 full bathrooms were all uniquely designed with enormous walk-in showers. There is a lookout at the top of the home that provided amazing views and fabulous star gazing. The property is near the dark sky zone and we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights from the back balcony. Being fairly centrally located, it was a quick drive to the Washington Island ferry, Newport Beach to paddle board, Sister Bay for dinner and sunsets, Fish Creek for shopping and Ephraim for ice cream! We cannot wait to return!

Fantastic Family Vacation at the Lookout!
My family had a wonderful family vacation at the Lookout in Door County this weekend. The home itself is absolutely beautiful and perfectly laid out for a larger family to stay together. Dan and Ann could not have been more welcoming or helpful throughout the entire check in process and stay. Everything was thought of from extra coffee keurigs to all the pots and pans needed to cook our meals together in the stunning and fully functional kitchen. The kids loved the bunk room and it was close enough to the other 2 master suites on the upper level that we still felt close by. I have already touched base with Ann for our return trip for 2025! Can't wait to come back!

Family time in Door County
Modern and well equipped, , "The Lookout" is better than advertised. This new home is comfortable, warm, and perfect for our family gathering. We loved the view of the woods from every room and watched the birds from the great room. We also played games at the giant table, and had room for some down time when needed. The location is private and extremely quiet, yet close enough to Fish Creek, Elison Bay, and all of our favorite Door County attractions. Our hosts were great and highly recommend.

Great Stay
We stayed here for a bachelorette party. There was plenty of space for our whole group. The house is beautiful and has everything you need for a great weekend, including an ooni pizza oven! We enjoyed being a little further out but it is still very close to sister bay.

Fantastic property in the woods
We had a wonderful stay with family and our 6-month-old son. The hosts were attentive and accommodating to all of our needs and went above and beyond to ensure we had a nice time. The house is great for groups and was well thought out, and the overall property had a nice quiet secluded feel. There were amazing hiking trails that connected directly to the backyard, yet it was a short drive into some of our favorite towns in Door County. Just a cool place overall!

Simply the best place we've stayed at in Door County
We didn't want to leave. The owners of this property didn't miss a beat with the decor, incidentals, and comforts of home. We cannot wait to rebook in the future and enjoy the spectacular beds, enormous kitchen, and beautiful views.

Quiet Beauty
We chose this property last minute because our vacation ended up being canceled. I’m amazed that it was available! Such a beautiful home on a beautiful piece of land! I will say that I’m somewhat of a snob when it comes to where I stay. If the home isn’t as nice as my own, what’s the point? That was not a problem here. The owners were very friendly and attentive. I’ve found that a lot of the rentals lose that if the owners use a booking company. A few extras to note…this place has some amazing bird watching, and there’s a cute little toy tree house for kids.

We had the most amazing time staying in this beautiful, modern, new construction home. The property was truly a slice of heaven. We enjoyed watching the birds and relaxing on the beautiful patio and deck. The design of the home was thoughtful and perfectly executed. We can't wait to go back!
