Summary: It was so relaxing and cozy. Getting up in the morning and enjoying our coffee and breakfast on the wonderful porch and then heading to the shore to catch the views of the lake. We headed to many of the Door county sites during the day and again enjoyed the quiet back at the cabin. Even had a chance to extend and extra much needed vacation.

Summary: While the location of this property was good, we were disappointed for the price we paid. This is an old property and one of the more run down in the neighborhood. The worst part- there is no air conditioning- not even a window unit. There is also only one bathroom.

Summary: The location was great! We had a fantastic time right on the water and using the fire pit as well. The downside was that cleaning was a bit lacking.

Summary: This place is as advertised. We had everything we needed at the cottage to have a nice time and the beds were very comfortable. The real appeal is the location on the bay which is beautiful, especially at sunset. As other reviewers have mentioned, this is not a good spot for swimming because of the rocks but it was great to be able to have our own spot on the water.

Summary: This is a beautiful location, the sunsets were amazing. We enjoyed sitting on the screened porch and having fires on the shore. Lovely that our dogs were welcome. The only drawback was that the rocks in the lake were so slippery with seaweed that no one could get into the water to swim. I have never before found myself unable to access a lake like this. We had expected to be able to swim. We noticed that the neighbors also did not swim. Overall, lovely, just not for swimming.

Summary: The first challenge was finding the right home, it is a shared driveway and the correct driveway has a No Trespassing sign which caused some confusion. The battery operated lock on the door did not work well and we ended up calling and getting a key. Once inside, the pictures are accurate. It is a rustic cabin, the oven does not work appropriately, it literally has a sign on it which states the temperature can vary any where from 50-100 degrees from the setting. The toilet did not work well, it was either continuously running or wouldn’t fill due to the float being stuck so I had to remove the lid and adjust routinely during our stay. The water does have a strong sulfur smell, which after showering seems to linger. The TV remote works occasionally, we even bought new batteries thinking that was the problem, but it did not fix the issues we experienced. I was looking forward to sitting in the back screened in porch, however except for the kitchen table, the furniture is not very sturdy or the plastic was ripped, the furniture is easily from before the 1980’s for sure. We drove up to Fish Creek and Egg Harbor which turned out to be longer than I anticipated which limited our time on occasion. Overall we made the best of it, but honestly we felt a little like we were camping. For the price we paid, I would expect a higher quality, particularly the kitchen and bathroom. Realistically I feel it is worth about half what we paid.

Summary: The cottage is so cozy inside, and includes all the amenities any cottage should - board games, binoculars, a wood burning fireplace, and a tv when you need to unwind. The sleeping quarters don't isolate sound as indicated in the description, but they are beautiful and high-ceilinged. I would stay again no question.

Summary: The place was exactly as advertised. Had plenty of room for everyone. The water in the shower smelled kind of sulfuric and had low pressure, but figured that was to be expected in a vacation cabin out of town. Would rent there again.
