Summer retreat

My family of 5, children aged 13, 11, and 7, traveled to Door Co. for the 1st time in 4 yrs and the cottage was the perfect starting point for everything we wanted to do. The property is secluded and beautifully situated while still being close enough to all the things we wanted to do. We loved our time here and look forward to next time!

First trip to Door Co

It was a nice quiet retreat from all the business of Door Co. Loved that we were only 1 mile up the road from Kick Ash as this recently diagnosed celiac was there often during our stay.

Family Time

We all enjoyed our time especially sitting on the porch. Used the living room for evening game night and relaxed by fireplace. We even had a friendly game of bags in the yard that the owner had on the property.

Fall visit

A girls trip, we are all mature women who wanted a comfortable place to do some cooking and relax after full days of sightseeing The property was as I expected with it being a charming place. There were plenty of seats for two but not 3 as that was disappointing even had to rearrange the kitchen table to eat meals. The living room love seat was quite worn and not comfortable for sitting The porch was covered in spiders and cobwebs. There was no soap at the kitchen or bathroom sinks as well as no towels We knew and did bring). I was disappointed in the shape of the cook wear. And with no easy to scrub the pans they were very worn. Dishes took longer than needed. There was a fly infestation and with the cleaning fee I paid I did expect to have the place cleaned. It was charming and the beds were comfortable.

Quaint place with great history

A girlfriend's weekend was very much enjoyed in this sweet home. It was a nice break with being off the grid. Kitchen is well stocked, beds are comfortable, window air conditioner helped to make it cooler. Private location close to the ferry and restaurants.Only complaint is the musty smell. There was a dehumidifiers which helped.

Quaint, quiet, secluded, perfect for us! Love the wrap-around porch. People should be aware, however, that not only is there no wi-fi, there is also almost no cell phone connectivity at times. That's probably a good thing. probab thing. 🤔
