The views were great! Proximity to the beach is phenomenal. Cabin had everything we could ask for. Wifi is great. We loved the privacy. Couldn't recommend more highly.
This place was fantastic. Perfect for a long weekend getaway. The location is great - unencumbered views of Lake Michigan with about a mile of unpopulated beach for my wife, my dog and me to explore. The cottage was clean and well equipped. Highly recommend this place for a long weekend getaway. Thanks for a great time Russ and Stacy!!!
This was the perfect combination of comfort and coziness with a gorgeous view! Russ is an excellent host, and has thought of everything. Plus, the location was convenient to all we wanted to do and see. We look firward to a return visit. The bonus was our golden made a new four-legged friend.
We loved the place cabin and the view. House is very cozy and we had amazing time. Morning view from the front of the lake is very relaxing. The bonefire at the beach great. Also pets freindly is a thanks you my dog had a blast. We are definitely coming back during summer to experience more of the area aslo to spent good time at the cabin.
It was amazing. Perfect for us. During the day explored door county. Came back to the cabin for dinner fires and a walk in the beach. The sunrises were spectacular. Will come back.
What an amazing property! Well appointed and a wonderful view of the lake. Really enjoyed all Door County had to offer and got lucky with the trees magnificent fall show! Highly recommend this property and we will definitely be back! Thank you Russ for being a fantastic host!
I really loved this place. Roomy, clean, had every comfort. Comfy beds..
Beach right out the door. Enjoyed my coffee with the sunrise. I will go back here.
Only downside was the water in cabin. Kinda stinky. But not a deal breaker for the peaceful place. And best part we were able to take our loved pup!!!!
Usually my son and I go camping the last weekend in august, and have some quiet time to hang out and chat. Life got in the way of it this year, so we booked this lovely accommodation. What a nice relaxing place, it was a bit of a sleet storm going on for part of it, but that is not unexpected in December :)
We cooked and played games and relaxed, and we could not have asked for a better spot to do this in. My wife wants to come up with the daughters in the near future.
Thanks again, I would recommend this property highly!
Wow! We loved everything! Russ & Stacy have lovingly restored this clean & cozy cottage. They are awesome hosts-friendly, responsive, easy to communicate with but not intrusive. The cottage is located on a quiet one lane road. Other cottages are close but they have different setbacks & trees in between so it still felt private. The lake and sandy beach are just steps outside the door. Get up early to see the sunrise-absolutely spectacular! Inside, there is a comfy reclining couch and TV in the main room & another smaller room with a TV and reclining couch. It was perfect for relaxing in the evening & the fireplace came in handy when the temp. dipped down to 46 degrees. (The heat also works very well). A wall of windows lines the front of the cottage so you can enjoy the view of the lake. When it's warm, open the windows and hear the waves as you drift off to sleep. The beds are very comfortable. A gas grill is available as well as a fully equipped kitchen for cooking. There is even a large screened porch off the back to enjoy dinner outdoors without any bugs. Russ & Stacy have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. The only minor drawback is the drinking water is kind of nasty (very common in this area). There is an odor esp. when using hot water. Not a deal breaker-just something to be aware of. It is safe to use & the hosts provide ample bottled water for cooking & drinking so other than the odor, it's not a problem. Highly recommend! We'll be back!
My husband and I decided to get away for a few days so I jumped on VRBO and found this property...what a find! We arrived in the evening and the place was all lit up and welcoming. We headed to the beach in plain view and just across the one lane road. The view of the beach from the cabin was awesome! The cabin was extremely clean, fireplace was set up and ready to light and we used it eery night! The kitchen was very well equipped. We enjoyed meeting our host, Russ as well as his wonderful dog Dixie who we played with on the beach. We enjoyed day trips to different Door County towns, state and county parks and more. The location of the cabin is secluded but not far from anything. It was chilly but did not keep us from enjoying the beach!
There was really no cell service at the cabin, however there was a landline we had access to. We did have great WIFI so we could text some from our computers. By no means did that in anyway dampen the trip :-)
The only down was that we didn't stay longer :-) We are already planning our next trip and can not wait to once again stay at this lovely property! If you want a place that has everything you need, beautiful atmosphere, fun things to do in the area and a lovely host....this is your place!!!
Wish I was the owner of this property. Absolutely lovely quiet street it's on with the most amazing beach this side of the lake. Honestly everything about it was perfect.
Great place to stay. Everything we needed, comfortable, clean and amazing views out the front window. We enjoyed having meals or coffee at the table by the front window that looks out to the beach or taking a walk along the shore and enjoying the views. Nice front and back yard area for us and our dog too.
I just wanted to share a few words about the amazing time we had at this location. First, the location of the cottage is amazing - steps away from a beautiful beach and a great section of coastline. We were there at the end of what I would call the “tourist season” and we had the beach all to ourselves!
The overall condition of the cottage was excellent, and the cleanliness was second to none.. The host did a great job providing lots of little creature comforts for us, and there wouldn’t be anything I could suggest to have had a more comfortable stay.
This host is very pet friendly and we had a great time with our dog and letting him run up and down the coastline chasing birds!
Communication with a host was excellent and at no time did we feel like there was an issue getting hold of him? Should we have any questions.
I would highly recommend this losting and don’t have even the smallest amount of constructive criticism. We will definitely come back to this location again!
Great cabin with the beach right across the street. Saw the Northern Lights on our visit and plenty of stars at night. Quiet location and good for a chance to rest and relax!
It was everything and more. Restful, relaxing, pet friendly, clean, cozy. We had everything we needed.
Stunning views of the lake. Beautiful clean beach. We were lucky enough to see many beautiful sun rises and the harvest moon rising over the lake. Russ was a terrific host and even shared the times the moon would rise our entire stay, so we wouldn't miss it.
Hated to leave. We will be back.
This was a perfect place! Everything made us feel like “home” with location, location, location!
So many kind and thoughtful touches all around the home. Everything was comfortable and sunlight. The view from the front room is spectacular; the overall space including a back screened porch makes the home feel “open”. Everything from brochures about local places of interest to ample bottled water put a focus on the “guests.” Importantly, the home was spotlessly clean.
We were grateful to stay at Russ and Stacy’s cottage for several days with our recently adopted dog where we enjoyed walking the beach with our dog in the morning and evening. This was a very enjoyable vacation for us! Also a great doggie park, Shiloh Road Dog Park, was only about 10 minutes away for our dog to run her energy off with some new puppy pals.
We had a wonderful visit. The view from the cottage couldn't be better and we took daily beach walks right outside. Everything was clean. I highly recommend staying if you want a quiet beachside vacation.
Sorry, Walt Disney but this is the happiest place on earth! The cottage is amazing, cozy and peaceful. Comfortable beds, a great view, a cozy fireplace...what more could you ask for? Though there are other cottages/homes nearby, you will never know it. It's so peaceful. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves. There are numerous hiking trails nearby so you can explore if you want or just sit back with the windows open and listen to the waves crash. Get up early to catch the sunrise over the lake. It is absolutely breathtaking! The cottage and beach are so nice, you almost feel guilty leaving to go anywhere else! The hosts are the best and if you're lucky, you might get a visit from Dixie, the owner's golden retriever. We were their very first booking at this property last year and this was our second year there. We've already secured our spot for next year! If you're even thinking of booking this place, what are you waiting for?! You won't be disappointed!!!confortable
The cottage was wonderful. Russ is a great host who was so helpful and friendly.
The place is well-stocked and so comfortable!
Thanks so much, for your hospitality, Russ!
Property was wonderful, great location and proximity to the beach. The owner was very easy to reach and we had a blast staying at the cottage. Very clean and accurate listing. Would love to come back again and enjoy all that Door Co has to offer.
Loved staying at this very comfortable cabin. The fully screened in porch is great for escaping the bugs. The beach a few steps away, very friendly hosts, quiet neighborhood. Still close to all the other attractions of Door County. Definitely staying here again.
Our family of four rented this wonderful cabin for our first trip to Door County. The property was comfortable, clean, charming, and the location/ view were amazing. The owners made us feel very welcome and they thought of every detail- right down to dry firewood for the beach fire pit. We will be back!
