Stunning Waterfront Cottage | Private Dock + Hot Tub

Stunning Waterfront Cottage | Private Dock + Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful, peaceful lake house with little extras like bathroom basket essentials. Roomy and cozy getaway by the water. Loved the hand held shower heads, fans in closets and extra life jackets. Loved having the private sitting dock and kayaks. Wish there was just a little bit of sandy beach area for easier access into the water. Great place for family memories with all the games, firepit and back deck area. Thank you"

Cottage on Mink River Road

Cottage on Mink River Road

10/10 Excellent
"The hosts are great - super responsive and a message away to answer questions and offer insight into the area. The cottage is off the beaten path but close enough to get everywhere you want to be, whether it's a locals spot, a tourist spot, or drive in the country and a hike in the woods. The cottage is perfectly Door County. This is a place to disconnect. There is a TV that I assume works - we never turn on a TV when we're up on the Peninsula - and a boom box for radio. Cell reception, like most places outside of town, is quite limited. Ellison Bay is but a mile down the road and just about every spot on the main drag has wifi. The property is very well maintained and makes you feel way more 'out there' than you really are. Again, just what you want.Would absolutely stay there again on a return trip to the area."

New! Walk to Water, Shops | Hot Tub, Sauna & Pool

8/10 Good
"We had a nice multi-generational stay at this home which is very well located for adventures in Door County. We loved Ellison Bay - a fairly quiet community with a small beach and park (both walkable though if you’re taking beach chairs and equipment, you’d probably want a car). We highly recommend the onion rings at Mink River Basin and almost anything from the Blue Bear for brunch - both a short walk from the house. And then it was a quick drive to Seaquist Orchards (pick up some cherries) and Sister Bay (the Creamery had amazing ice cream). The deck space is lovely with a cowboy pool, a hot tub and a sauna (we found the sauna difficult to use but it might have just been us). One bedroom is directly off the kitchen so be aware of that from a noise perspective. And the bathroom on the first floor can only be accessed from that bedroom by walking through the kitchen. We liked the game room above the garage, especially with it having a full bathroom. The master bedroom upstairs had a very squeaky bedframe, hopefully that will be replaced. While the host was responsive to the issues that we encountered, there were a few delays in hearing back and lots of requests for more information, photos and videos. It wouldn’t make me hesitate before booking again."
