Our family had an incredible stay at this home in Door County. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. It was the perfect place to unwind after spending the day exploring the area.The owner was exceptionally friendly, responsive, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process, making everything easy from booking to checkout.Part of me is hesitant to leave such a glowing review because I'd rather keep this place a secret—I don't want any competition when we try to book it again next summer! But it's too good not to recommend. We can't wait to come back.

The location was perfect for our family vacation. The house worked well; enough space for everyone. There were options for eating, playing games, campfires and more! The highlight was the beautiful beach! We spent hours playing in the water and sand. It was wonderful having access to kayaks, too. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces were amazing. Highly recommend!

We just had our 2nd stay at Lily Bay Lodge. It has become a family favorite. Kayaking on the lake, long walks on the beach and listening to the waves at night. The host has always been great and still has a very generous gift basket with fantastic salmon.

We had a wonderful stay and would gladly return. What made this property stand out was the hospitality. The owner checked in during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond by bringing over some freshly caught salmon, which we grilled for dinner. It was such a thoughtful and memorable touch.Despite some rain, our group spent much of our time enjoying the outdoor spaces. The screened porch was a favorite spot for morning coffee and the patio gave us a great space for evening conversation and plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy the beautiful setting. We also took advantage of the kayaks and wetsuits, which made it easy and fun to get out on the water.Tip: bring ingredients for a few meals at the house. Between the outdoor spaces, the water access, and the fire pit, you may find yourselves wanting to spend more time at the property and less time running around Door County.The property was comfortable, peaceful, and a great place for our family to spend time together. Thank you for sharing such a special place with us!

Spacious, well-laid out home with perks throughout- kayaks, fireplace, fire pit, wet suits and sand toys. Wonderful view and a sandy beach that goes on and on in both directions. Gracious host left a basket of goodies and brought us fresh salmon that we cooked on the gas grill. Great space for a family. There were 7 of us including 2 little ones and there were plenty of spaces to spread out. Some reading niches too. Would definitely recommend this place! We hope to be back.

We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely return. The location right on the lake is hard to beat—the views were beautiful, and we loved being able to walk the beach for miles each day. The outdoor spaces were especially enjoyable, with a comfortable deck, plenty of seating, and a pristine grill that we ended up using every day. The fenced-in yard was perfect for our dogs and gave us great peace of mind while they explored and relaxed. The hosts went above and beyond with an incredibly generous gift basket filled with local treats, and we were pleasantly surprised to find neoprene suits available for guests to use in the lake. The home itself was spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. This was exactly the kind of place we were looking for—a peaceful retreat where we could relax, recharge, and enjoy the beauty of the lake. Highly recommended!

My family and I had a wonderful time at time at this place! Property that’s right by the shores of Lake Michigan is a dream. We enjoyed the kayaks and fire pit by the beach. The house itself is cozy and has very interesting decor with lots of charm. It is clean, organized and well stocked. We hope to be back!

Perfect getaway!
Beautiful house and property with absolutely stunning views of Lake Michigan! I was the exact restful getaway we were looking for and our dog was also delighted to be there due to the fenced in back yard and the wide open beach to explore either direction. If you are looking for a true, quiet, gorgeous getaway, this is the perfect house and location.

Wonderful Door County Lakeside weekend
The Lily Bay Lodge was wonderful- the house is great, beds super comfy. And the location was amazing - so many stars in the clear night sky and we loved drifting off to sleep to the sound of the waves. Host was very responsive to all our questions and needs and gave a great suggestion for local live music!
