We absolutely loved our time at Sandalwood Cottage. The cottage couldn’t have been more cozy, felt just like being home, and the yard was beautiful as well. The deck was the perfect place to relax and watch the local wildlife. We even had three deer who came to visit a few times! Close to everything we needed, yet so secluded and peaceful. We will be back!

Great house, great location, great host!
We very much enjoyed our stay! Amy thought of everything from brochures,maps, stocked kitchen and bathroom, plenty of towels, cute decor for sale, games, etc. The location is close enough to Sheboygan, Kohler, Port Washington - we hit them all! In the summer, we would have parked ourselves at the beach. Gorgeous! The walk to the entrance is 1/4 mile down the drive.

Great little cottage
Great place to hang out and relax. Everything was thought of, which made it easy to enjoy.
This was great get away from it all, while still being close enough to be as exciting as you want your vacation to be. We enjoyed doing many puzzles in front of the fire, the local state parks and more than one area supper club along with a walk on the beach from the cottage on our first night. The owners are extremely responsive and helped me by suggesting Best buy or allowing for an Amazon delivery when I realized, more than half way to our destination, that I forgot my fitbit charger. We would absolutely spend time here again. Thank you!

We just love everything about this place! It's super clean, beautifully decorated (and so festive around the holidays!), cozy, comfortable and in such a peaceful location. The hosts are always great too. This is our third time coming around the holidays and we always look forward to it. Maybe this year we'll try to go in the summer too :)

Perfect Fall Family Getaway
We absolutely loved our stay at the Sandalwood Cottage. We are a family of 5 (kids ages 5,4&2) and this was the perfect location! The house had everything we needed (kitchen supplies, towels, laundry, etc) it was exceptionally clean and close to all of the main Sheboygan attractions. We loved Bookworm Gardens and Above and Beyond Children’s Museum (both less than 15 minutes away). The yard was absolutely gorgeous and our kids had so much fun exploring the woods and playing on the swing set/tree house. Amy’s communication exceeded our expectations. She was so kind and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. I cannot recommend this place enough!
