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.

We are 3 over 75 women. We didn't walk to shops but it was easy to drive wherever we wanted to go. We had trouble getting into the house because I had printed out the information and forgot it. Next time I'll save the email somewhere on my phone. It's difficult to get help from vrbo. The house was very clean and the owners were attentive. We enjoyed our stay.
