Our stay was absolutely wonderful and truly unforgettable. The location was perfect, offering our very own private beach where we could relax and enjoy nature in complete tranquility. We were pleasantly surprised with a thoughtful gift basket and the freshly caught salmon in the fridge, which added an extra touch of warmth and kindness to our experience. Overall, it was a fantastic escape that exceeded our expectations, and we are grateful for the memorable moments we created here.

Perfect family get away

My family, including our two young kids and cavapoo, stayed here for five nights and enjoyed every minute. The location was close to everything we wanted to see and the fun part was the kids looked forward to coming back to the house each night and playing on the beach. The fenced in yard was great for our dog. We grilled out two nights and strolled song the beach at sunrise and sunset. The owner was very welcoming and attentive and we appreciated the fish and other goodies he left for us. This house made the trip a true success and we came home with lots of special memories of our time in Sturgeon Bay.

Great House on Lily Bay

My family stayed here for a long weekend at the at the beginning of May. I cannot recommend it enough. The location can’t be beat! Miles of sandy beach just steps from the property. The listing photos were very accurate and the house was bigger than we thought. You could definitely have a large group there without any issues. The owner was very responsive. I feel confident that if we had run into any issues, he would have done his best to fix it immediately. You can tell he truly cares about the property and wants everyone to have the best possible experience. Great stay!

Great getaway!

My family and I had a wonderful time at the Lily Bay Lodge. Just what we needed to kick off the cozy season. Mitch went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. Everything we needed to enjoy the weekend was provided. Even when we left a cable at home, for one of our devices, Mitch was more than willing to run out and grab it for us. Great hosts and a great place to unwind. We hope to be back again soon. Thanks again Mitch!

Door County Anniversary Getaway

Lily Bay Lodge was home for 4 nights in early October for my husband and I and our two small dogs. We wanted someplace special for our anniversary and this location was perfection! Our stay couldn't have been any better! We appreciated the kindness of the owner ... it is obvious they care tremendously about the property. The accommodations were comfortable for us and our pups. Everything was clean and worked well. The fenced in yard for the dogs was great! The beach and the view were amazing... we were up early every morning to watch the sunrise! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a special stay in DC!

Perfect getaway!

Beautiful house and property with absolutely stunning views of Lake Michigan! I was the exact restful getaway we were looking for and our dog was also delighted to be there due to the fenced in back yard and the wide open beach to explore either direction. If you are looking for a true, quiet, gorgeous getaway, this is the perfect house and location.
