We love to cap off the summer with a family/friend trip and have chosen sister bay for the past few years. This house was perfect. The yard was great for games and the basement area(s) was perfect for the teens to hang out in. Property included everything we were looking for and the basketball hoop was a bonus! Would def stay here again in the future !
We couldn’t have asked for more from this house! Absolutely beautiful, tons of space and comfortable sleeping arrangements. The location feels very quiet and private but is only a three minute drive from all the popular Sister Bay spots.
Came here for a family vacation for our first time in Door County! The home is spacious and comfortable, and everyone enjoyed themselves on the trip! It is located in a nice, quiet, out of the way area, though still very close to the main street and shops, etc in town. Everything was clean and organized, and everyone in my group was very happy with the provided amenities! We would love to come back and stay here again!
“This place is exactly what we needed”, “this place just keeps going”, “if you were a host, this is exactly how you’d be” - just some of the comments I heard from my family during our stay here. We were in DC for a family wedding and trying to find a place to accommodate 9 people spanning pre-k to AARP age and dogs was tough and stressful. At the 11th hour, I stumbled upon this gem and from start to finish the experience was top notch.
The house is warm and inviting, while being modernized. It allowed us to gather together and do our own thing all at the same time. Everything that we could have needed was there - including things we didn’t know we needed or assumed we’d have to bring, like a white noise machine for our kids or black washcloths for removing makeup. Never once did it feel like we had to walk on eggshells or that we were in someone else’s home.
If you’re looking for a place for everyone where you’ll have activities that don’t require electronics (but know it’s a necessity), every streaming service imaginable (and already logged in), old school games (board/air hockey/shuffle board), a massive backyard, individualized temperature controlled rooms, and a 3 min drive to the goats on the roof - you’ll want to book this place.
I’m giving this review begrudgingly because I know it’s only a matter of time before this place gets thrown into the spotlight; but when you find a good thing, the right thing to do is to spread the word!
We had a great 80th birthday celebration for grandma! Love the quiet neighborhood nearby so much. Had more space than expected and loved the yard games, fire pit large tables for us to gather for food and games.
Home was as pictured. Wonderful set up for our whole family. Kids enjoyed the basement to have their own space with games. Adults loved the back sitting room and deck. House was well stocked with everything we needed including spices for cooking. All the extras were a huge help as we didn’t have to pack so much. Would highly recommend this place!
