Unique architecture in an exquisite setting! The property was very clean and well cared for. We enjoyed the deck on the beach for reading, coffee and yoga. It was peaceful and serene — yet about 20 minutes from Egg Harbor. The owner answered all of our questions promptly and was very gracious.
Northern lights from the balcony!

Ed made sure that the house is stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The house is beautiful and the property is secluded enough to feel like no one else is nearby. The waterfront access with the fire pit is so nice for sunrise and sunset. There is also a great fireplace inside for the cold nights. The kitchen had all the utensils needed for us to cook our meals. We will be back again :) thank you!

Great weekend

We spent 3 nights with our family of 4. Was very relaxing to sit by the shore and watch the waves roll in. Very private location, with all the amenities needed for our trip. Would definitely stay again.

Love this place !

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary. The cottage was so nice and spacious. You cannot get enough of the Lake views either. The location is central to the Door County towns we visited as well.

Our family had the best time staying at the Gray Gull this past week. The property was clean and had everything we needed, and being on the water was amazing. The property is in a great location, a short drive to so many fun places. We would absolutely stay here again!
