The lack of grill at a vacation home is un-American
William - Posted: 10/16/2025
We appreciate your feedback regarding the grill. While not every home comes equipped with one, we’ll consider your comment as we continue to improve the experience for our guests.

Its a nice place for two families to share some good time or spend some nice time with your near and dear ones. The place has ample space to sleep and relax. The kitchen is great. The place is very accessible and next to the main road.
Hightly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay in a very cute and comfortable home.
The house is cute, comfortable, and spacious. It had plenty of kitchen things to cook breakfast and dinner. Good table seating and comfortable leisure seating. Loved the privacy and peace to sit outside on deck or by fire pit. It would be nice to have a regular side single or double bed in 3rd bedroom instead of just sized for kids. Without kids along it was wasted space. Also put shades on windows toward road especially living room with pull out couch. Not comfortable sleeping without shades- too light and a bit creepy.

The house was about what I expected. Beds were comfortable. nice rural area. Missing a few items that would be a nicer such as. Grill, casserole dish and storage containers. Also blinds/curtains would be nice it the main rooms for city folk it is a bit eerie with no window treatments. Idk who or what is out in the woods staring in. Dad trying.

Great Little House
We took a family fishing trip when we visited Sturgeon Bay. The house accommodated us perfectly. Plenty of room to hang out and visit and everyone slept well. The kitchen was great and we used it for a fish fry after we caught our walleye. Fun time had by all.

The property is clean, close to Target, pretty convenient. But hope the shower head would have more pressure in the primary bathroom.

Great home once again, we've used Airbnb a few times now and have been happy each time.
This house was as described, no issues other than a loud furnace. We would stay here again and we would recommend others to stay here as well.

This is a spacious one-level home on the south side of Door County, near Sturgeon Bay. There is quick and easy access to the main road (42) to get to all the wonderful places in Door County. It is a great place to stay if you want to experience Door County without being in the middle of the busy towns on the peninsula.
The kitchen and dining spaces are large and set up as a great place to hang out with family and friends. There are three nice sized bedrooms.
There are a couple of things to be aware of. The water has a taste to it that we did not like. There is no filter, so you may want to plan accordingly. Also the bathrooms really need an update, particularly the showers. They work but one is very small and the other requires a significant step up into it. There was a dehumidifier running nonstop.
Despite these things, this is a family friendly place and we really enjoyed staying there.
