The location was excellent, very close to state and County Parks, and just a short walk to the beach. It rained our first night, but we had so much fun in the game room that it didn't matter. Overall great experience.
This house is huge, location for guests that want to do outdoor activities is amazing. The game room is perfect for raining days or for the guests that don't want to do the outdoor activities. We really liked the fact of how secluded the house was. Highly recommended!0p
Had a great time with our growing family. House was a perfect fit for us. Plenty of space , huge kitchen open to family room . Loved the location. We would love to make an annual trip!! Thank you !
If you have a large group looking to get together in a beautiful part of the country, this is the place for you. Plenty of room with 6 bedrooms and easy access to a fantastic beach. The beach made our 2 year old grandson's day which allows small children to get in the shallow water or just play in the beautiful sand. The owner is responsive, flexible, and will do everything possible to make it an awesome stay.
There was so much space for our multigeneration family vacation. The whole family loved the beach and the well appointed game room. The kitchen/family room was so roomy. We're already thinking about coming back for the fall colors and more fishing in the creek. The property manager was so timely with answers to questions.
What a perfect place to stay in Door County! There were nine of us and we had plenty of room to spread out. The house was great, but the location and beach were absolutely amazing. Very quiet and private. The beach was one of the nicest we’ve been to in the US. The sand was so clean and soft. We had a lot of fun in the game room and just relaxing on the deck. Fred was a great host…responded quickly and friendly. Thank you for a great stay!

Terrific Beach
The property was nice, but a little run-down. Fred, the facility manager was very responsive to our issues. The downstairs bedrooms could use some curtains.
Overall, it was a pleasant stay with lots of different options for the family. The best part was the beautiful, private beach.
Love this area because of the beach. We spent every day there that we could. We had a great time! Thank you for sharing the house.
The trail to the beach was manageable but not if you have mobility issues. The renters next door allowed a member of our group to use their beach access.
The property manager was super responsive when we had a few minor issues the on the first day there. Immediately responded to questions. He offered us free kayaks for 2 days of our stay for the inconvenience. That was very generous, and we used them to kayak to a shipwreck just off of Cave Point.
Being at the end of the road made for a very quiet stay and great access to Whitefish Dunes State Park trails. We enjoyed the fire pit and appreciated the firewood. We had plenty of room for 6 adults and 5 teens. The lower level game room was huge hit. Glad we took advantage of the linen service with a group our size.
Ten of us stayed here for a week — 2 grandparents, 4 parents and 4 kids ranging in age from 9-13. The house worked really well for us! The game room was a hit with the kids and adults. The kitchen is large and probably the best equipped kitchen we’ve ever had in the 14 years since we’ve been renting houses. There was plenty of room for several of us to be working in the kitchen at the same time. The beds were all comfortable and the three zone AC worked perfectly. We absolutely loved the beach. It was a very short walk from the house. I (71 y/o) managed it without a problem. There was only one spot that was a little tricky but I was able to negotiate it with the help of a couple well-placed trees. Someone else might need an arm to hold on to. Cave Point park was amazing and beautiful and some in our family enjoyed the 2-mile walk from the house to the park that winds through the woods and along the lake.
The private beach and location at the foot of the Whitefish Dunes park is unbeatable. The house was big enough for our group of 11. We’ve stayed here a couple times now. The house is not maintained very well. Among some other items of disrepair basement bedrooms have no window coverings so is excessively bright in the morning. $400 linen fee and you only get 2 dish towels and 4 hand towels (which were for communal use in the bathrooms) for 11 people. Location/beach is what brought us back, not the condition of the home. New property manager is super responsive. Last year the owner actually double booked the place and didn’t change the lock code so another family was in the property when we arrived last year. We booked through VRBO and they booked direct so he honored our reservation. That was a mess. Glad it’s in the property manager’s hands now.

Great location!
The house was nice and spacious for our group and had all the amenities mentioned. The house is secluded and very private and the beach was absolute perfection. The property manager was extremely responsive and took good care of us. Three small items that I would have changed:
The basement seemed to have an issue with bugs in the bathroom and a distinct damp odor in the two bedrooms.
While the beach is just as close as described, it is through woods and up and down tricky terrain requiring you to hold on to trees to travers. If you have small children that need to be carried or elderly in your party, it will be a problem. The property manager did offer us up another alternate route which was greatly appreciated, but was only available because the other house wasn't rented that week.
This one is minor, but the lock instructions didn't work for us upon arrival or departure. The property manager came right over to let us in though, so I think just updating the instructions might help.
We had a great time here. The house had plenty of room for our family of 9. The beach is beautiful. The path to the private beach is a hick not good if you wanted to take things with you to the beach.
My family absolutely loved the large home with so many beds and bedrooms and a basement full of fun activities. The property manager Fred is absolutely wonderful to work with and very prompt on answering any text. We enjoyed walking to the sand dunes and to cave point. The house was clean and very roomy. Soundproofing was also good between the floors and being on the end of a dead end was the ultimate in a quiet getaway.
This was our first time here and it was wonderful Our entire family fit well in the house The walk to the beach was a bit tough but totally worth it The beach was wonderful
Will definitely be back and thank you Fred for everything
This house provided everything we needed and Fred (the manager) was very responsive to our needs. Loved all the games in the rec room and the kids used them frequently. The beach can't be beat. The way to to the beach was a bit challenging. My 84 mother would not have been able to make it and at 72 it was rather difficult for me. Great place for a family of 10 and I would highly recommend it.
This property is amazing! Great neighborhood, great location to the beach, which is literally across the street, and great access to the neighboring state park. Very quiet, peaceful area. The majority of the traffic is people walking their dogs. We had a great time while at the property. It had everything we needed for cooking meals. The basement/game room was an added bonus. My girls loved it! This was also a great location to go exploring the rest of Door County. We would definitely come back and stay here again. Communication with the property manager was great. Hope to come back some day!
