This home was a great size for our group of 6. We each had our own bed and the 2 bathrooms worked well of our group. We appreciated access to the garage so we had a place to store our bikes. Nice secluded location with easy access to town.

Great place with plenty of parking.

Came up for our 15th year of our group of guys fishing. Place had excellent parking and it’s very close to Sturgeon Bay. Property was in great shape with very comfortable beds. We brought three trucks and boats and had plenty of room to park. Communication is great. Had a great time!

Great weekend stay

We had a great stay at this property over 4th of July weekend. Shawn was great to communicate with during our stay. The backyard was massive and wonderful for yard games. The rooms were exactly as described. Plenty of space throughout for our group to move around. We will definitely stay here again.

This house perfectly suited our needs. Plenty of beds, which ranged from comfortable to too firm, depending on the bed. We loved the sitting area in the living room for hanging out. The back yard was huge! We had plenty of space to walk around, play yard games, enjoy the fire pit. The porch swing was a nice touch too! The main thing that would have improved this visit was a dishwasher. Other than that, we would definitely stay again!
