Nice, Quaint, older cabin in a very secluded location. Very comfortable. Close to Sister Bay. Great location. Only missed a dishwasher a little. Who wants to eat at the cabin with so many restaurants serving great food.

The perfect vacation

The property was excellent because it is close to Sisterl Bay, just minutes to the heart of town, but it was a setting that was absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect vacation spot because the beauty of nature is there for relaxation and it is close to the center of everything. If you want a true vacation in Door County this is the perfect place

Awesome vacation home!

We had a great time — and hope to stay here again. In particular, we enjoyed the log cabin experience and bird watching on the back patio in the mornings with the perfectly situated bird feeders. The backyard fire pit and short drive to Sister Bay were added bonuses. The property was also clean and comfortable.

Good location, nice private property

Dead bugs could have been vacuumed out of window sills. We had issues with hornets in one of the bedrooms and Terry promptly had someone come out and spray within 30 minutes. Linens were clean, beds comfortable, and wildlife friendly.

Property was as pictured…a cool log cabin. I picked this property for my husband. He loves log cabins and we were celebrating our 30 year wedding anniversary. Location is close to Ephriam and Sister Bay. All the amenities at the property were good.

Perfect location

My wife and I stayed with another couple, used this as home base to explore the peninsula. This is perfect location, close enough to everything but secluded enough to all peace and quiet. Terry was great and has a very nice spot.
