Awesome property
We had a great time staying in Door County at this cute cottage! When we got there, there were fresh flowers from the garden in a vase on the table, and I thought that was a really nice touch. It was so peaceful and quiet that you'd never guess it's right off the road! It was great to be able to walk into the park to hike some trails and enjoy nature. The cottage was absolutely perfect for my husband and me. As mentioned in other reviews, the shower is a bit on the small side, and the cookie sheet doesn't fit in the oven (haha), but neither of those things were a big deal to us. One tip for locking the doors that look like they don't have locks - you have to push in and turn the doorknob, and then the doorknob will be locked. I would highly recommend staying at this property during your visit to Door County!

Cozy Cottage Near Peninsula State Park
Butternut Cottage was great! It was cozy without being cramped. We had three people in total and it was just the right size. Everything was very clean and very well maintained. The fire pit looked amazing, but we didn't have a single dry day to try and use it. The beds were comfortable. While we didn't cook at all, the kitchen was a good size and they had plenty of pots, pans, etc. to use. We were very comfortable and really enjoyed our stay here. If we come back up and need the same size place, we'll definitely stay here again.The cottage is located pretty much in Peninsula State Park, which was great since that was the one thing we really wanted to do. The longest drive we had was to the Washington Island ferry which was about 30 minutes. Everything else was a very quick drive in any direction. It's a great location to stay.Overall, I'd highly recommend staying here. It's fantastic!

The cabin was perfect! Very clean and comfortable. We brought our meals and the cabin had all the supplies we needed. We forgot plastic wrap and left over containers though, that would have been nice to have. The cabin was plenty warm for October and next time we’ll use the outside fire pit! Great location and easy to get to. We loved our stay.

Peninsula Perfect !
We loved the size & location of the cottage - it was perfect for our needs ! Easy in & out with luggage & setting was beautiful too ! Size of main bedroom & bathroom was a plus . The porch & yard gave us lots of breathing room ! All communication with manager on site was easy & they were very responsive to helping me get my eyeglasses ( which I forgot to pack ) delivered via USPS to them then to me . Would recommend for couple or small family !

Almost like home.
Things were there that you basically need at home but in our case surrounded by trees. Very close to Ephraim, Peninsula State Park entrance and Eagle Tower. Must visit. We even had a fire pit; used twice. Supply your own wood. Very quiet!

Fantastic location Beautiful property with some caveats.
Nicely located between Sister Bay and Egg Harbor. Beautiful property on the state forest preserve. Nice cozy cottage from the late 50s. Enough amenities to get by. Nice sized flatscreen Roku TV with cable and DVD player. Beautiful property with enough space between neighbors to feel secure and private. Easy to get in and out of cottage and in and out of property. There were some issues that need some attention from the owner. Not much you can do about the shower if you are a large person you will be very uncomfortable it’s about 3‘ x 3‘. The showerhead is a complete disaster it’s been split open so water streams in all directions from behind it and barely any water comes out of the nozzle. Very uncomfortable shower! It takes 3 to 5 minutes to get hot water out of the bathroom sink, there’s nearly 0 water pressure. The toilet is nice but the toilet seat feels like it’s going to slide off when you sit on it. It’s just very cheap thin plastic. The stove is great but it angles forward so anything you put into it just runs to the front of the pan. The sofa and the chairs are incredibly uncomfortable. So watching TV was not a pleasant experience. Not that many people are going to watch TV on vacation,

Small Cottage
This was an ok place to stay. The WiFi here was extremely spotty. The water didn’t come out too fast from the shower head, which makes washing long & thick hair tricky. The curtains in the bathroom were pretty much see through, which made things a bit awkward when you got out of the shower and someone is staying at the cottage by the bathroom window.

Butternut Cottage in Door County
Cozy, clean and charming little cabin is perfect for a Door County get-away. The location is great, minutes away from everything and still nestled in the woods! The cabin has everything you need to cook meals, relax and have campfires. I would come back again! Great little property for up to 4 people to have a good time away!

Great Quiet Weekend
Location is very clean. Simple but comfortable. Great central location in Door County. Maybe a few extra blankets in closets may be helpful. We could only get water in the bathroom faucet to run cold. We had not issue in the shower.

Comfort and Quiet
The cottage was exactly as pictured. There were only 2 of us but it seemed large enough for a couple and 2 children. The place was spotless and everything was in working order. The kitchen was well stocked and the bed was comfortable. The shower was a bit small, but we knew that going in, so it was not a big surprise. There was plenty of storage space in case you have a longer stay. The wifi was down on the first day due to the antenna being knocked down, but it was quickly fixed, the owner was very attentive. The bedrooms were also very well shaded for a good sleep. We had access to both basic cable and Netflix, Prime, and other streaming channels. The location was central for us and we never heard any of the neighbors, or cars, or anything else. It was a very peaceful vacation.
