This is an authentic restored log cabin, but it has been remodeled inside with modern conveniences. Everything about our stay was perfect. It was very clean. The kitchen and baths were equipped with everything we needed. The 2 window air conditioners kept it comfortable even in a July 95 degree heat wave. Russ has a fascinating story about the history and restoration of the cabin.

Russ was very welcoming! The cabin was spotless and super clean when we arrived. It’s such a special little cabin with a lot of cozy touches that add to the overall experience. We looked forward to seeing Dixie run over and greet us anytime we were coming or going from the property. We would definitely recommend this property and look forward to coming back soon! Thank you!

There are so many things I could rave about because this was the perfect base for our exploration of Door County. The cabin is conveniently located to locations out-of-towners would want to visit while allowing a private feel out of the fray of some of the in-town accommodations. The cabin is gorgeously restored, thoughtfully furnished, and sparkling clean. The bed was very comfortable, and there was an abundance of towels, wash cloths, and hot water. Those may seem like odd things to include in a review, but they are very much things you notice if they are not present in a rental. Their presence shows how much attention to detail is paid to making the homestead welcoming to visitors, and we'd recommend it to anyone!
