Summary: We had an amazing stay here! The house was very clean and highly accommodating. We appreciated the welcome snacks and notes, making us feel right at home. We had everything we needed and more. The location is great, we even walked our dog around the neighborhood safely. The sunsets here are incredible and the mornings are quiet and peaceful. You’ll want to spend more time here than out and about! This was a first vacation home rental for two people in our group who typically opt for hotels with room service and they were impressed and felt comfortable. Don’t second guess staying here!

Summary: We had an amazing week at Hammarstrom House! The property was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described, but the highlight was the unique lighthouse-esque tower—such a charming and unexpected feature that gave the place extra character. We enjoyed watching sunset from the tower swing and battling it out on the retro arcade games. We spent our evenings relaxing by the fire pit, and the hot tub was a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. The location was also ideal, close to Sturgeon Bay but still peaceful and quiet. Our hosts Steven and John were fantastic—quick to respond and ensured we had everything we needed and more. They couldn’t have been more welcoming & thoughtful. We highly recommend staying here. We would love to return!

Summary: My family (6 adults and 1 eleven year old) enjoyed five wonderful days in this comfortable, spacious and unique home on the lake. The owners made every effort to provide a welcoming and accommodating experience for us all - including the dog. We settled in easily. This is a beautiful spot on the water that gives the opportunity for fun and quiet relaxation. We had a great time!

Summary: This experience and property was beyond compare to any other stay for our family. We felt more than “at home”. We felt comfortably pampered and had all we needed to enjoy activities on the water or nearby golf courses and then relax back at home with all the amenities, plus room for everyone (including a dog) to be comfortable.

Summary: We stayed here to celebrate my husband’s birthday and it was a blast! It was a “survivor themed” weekend and this location is perfect to play outdoor games, hide immunity idols, and relax in the hot tub after a full day of activities. We also enjoyed exploring Door County and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a place that has literally everything you could ask for. The hosts are sweet and respond instantly. The view from the tower is also beautiful; the pictures don’t do justice!

Summary: What a perfect getaway for families! Easy access to the bay, fun water toys, a pristine hot tub, and perfectly-placed fire pit made this a great location for our family reunion -- and that was only the outdoor amenities! All beds were comfortable and the bathrooms full of fluffy towels and other amenities. The tower is truly a fun feature to enjoy the outstanding views. Thank you to the homeowners for making us feel welcomed. Extra touches like spa sandals, generous snack tray, and local goodies (including amazing cheese!) were the cherries on top of a wonderful getaway.
