We booked The Eidelweiss for a family gathering honoring my husband’s 80th birthday. There were 10 of us in total, along with one Labrador/Golden mix, and the house was perfect for our needs. Brian was quick to respond to any questions or concerns and we felt very cared for. Inside, there was space for those who wanted to game, quietly make puzzles, just lounge and read, or watch a movie. We had pretty much perfect weather while there, so we used the deck a lot, and though we were supplied with fire wood and had plans to roast s’mores and sit by the fire, we just never got around to it. We appreciated the stylish decor and cleanliness of the house, the well supplied yet not over stocked kitchen, and amenities offered in the bathrooms. We could have used more towels for our group since we had a full-house but that was a minor thing and we made due. The large kitchen island was perfect for morning breakfast as folks trickled out of their rooms, but there were also plenty of other places to land with a cup of coffee for a slower start to the day. In the evenings, some would head downstairs to play shuffleboard while others went to watch movies or lounge quietly by the fireplace upstairs sipping cocktails and listening to soft music over the supplied Bluetooth unit in the kitchen. In all we couldn’t have been happier with the location between Sister Bay and Ephraim and the quality of this property. We will definitely be back in the future!

Edelweiss was a terrific location for our group of six college friends who get together annually. Beautiful home! We stayed in and cooked in the well-appointed kitchen. We’ll be back next year!

The Edelweiss was the perfect space for our WI family Thanksgiving. We had family coming in from all over the country and the Edelweiss worked great. The bedrooms were roomy for all of our adult children - and the kitchen worked very well for the Thanksgiving turkey dinner for 12! Snow prevented us from using the fire pit or the wonderful deck space - but the beautiful fireplace kept us all cozy warm.

Overall, the house was clean and comfortable, and the location was great. In the one downstairs room next to the stairs, a very loud continuous noise kept happening around 2AM every night and last for about 1 hour. The noise sounded like water tank flushing. The noise woke up everyone sleeping in the room, including a toddler, and no one was able to get back to sleep until it was over. Such noise had a really negative impact to our experience of the stay.
