Great location. Clean, though a strong unpleasant odor upon arrival- which may have been the cleaning solvent used. The bed arrangement worked for our group, but property needs to be listed as a 1 bedroom or put up a wall. None the less we did enjoy our stay.

What a great house to explore Door County.Less than 20 mins to the "Lake" side of Baileys Harbor and all of the "Bay" side towns of Egg Harbor, Ephraim, & Sister Bay.The house was super to be in, nice back patio for coffee and critter watching, with deer, rabbits, & squirrels. The kitchen was fully ready to use, and the beds were great to catch a good nights sleep...

Modern and very clean house that was well supplied. Very nice kitchen, WIFI, 2 car garage. Quiet area close to town, beach and Peninsula Park. The bedrooms are loft style so not a lot of privacy but the beds were very comfortable. Hosts were very responsive to questions and needs. We had a great stay!

Checking was easy and host was very communicative and helpful. The kitchen was spacious, modern and well equipped with utensils, serve ware and cookware. I was grateful they even supplied Kleenex, paper towels and coffee filters! Great internet there. Window AC and large ceiling fans kept the whole space comfortable. Quiet and cozy all around with good access to all bay destinations!

Door County stay

The house overall was nice. There are no actual bedrooms so staying here with our children was interesting. Everyone had to get to bed at the same time. The worst part of the house was the smell. If you are sensitive to smells, this is not the house for you. The listing says no smoking but the house had a strong cigarette smoke smell. The first night it rained and the smell was over powering. Honestly, I started looking for hotels to stay in instead. The second night we opened the windows and let it air out for a while and it was better. I would not have booked this place if I had known it had previously been smoked in.

Perfect location

Our stay was great. Location to Ephraim was just a short walk. We didn't spend much time in the rental except for evenings and quick stops to change before our next Door County adventure. Everything we needed was there. Great for 4 adult girlfriends to catch up after years apart!

Absolutely loved this quiet little gem!

This was a lovely little find and I’m so glad we were fortunate to book it over the 4th. It was absolutely the most wonderful escape after long hot days in the fun, but chaotic crazy that is a holiday weekend in Door County. But the quiet location was far from the only highlight - the kitchen seemed very well supplied including plastic dishes and cups for smaller children, there are two bathrooms and two showers making it quick and easy for our group of four to get out the door in the morning, and the central location on the peninsula could not be any better. The neighborhood is safe and easy to walk in the early morning hours while others sleep, and the backyard provides a welcoming sanctuary for a morning cup of coffee or late evening bonfire. Lastly, other than a few bugs inside (which is to be expected in the woods), the home is very clean. We would not hesitate to stay here again if we were in need of accommodations for my husband and I, plus our adult son and his soon to be wife.

We gad a quiet and clean stay. The home comfortably fits 5 people (two in two beds and 1 in pull out). As noted in the listing, the beds are in the upstairs loft, so there isn't much privacy throughout the space, but we were able to make it work just fine. The location is a close drive to Sister Bay and having two full bathrooms is a plus! Check-in was easy and host was easy to reach via the app.

total shitshow

Never was able to get in it. Couldn't reach manager, the person who answered the main VRBO numbe hung up on us after we waited forever to speak with them, and then the property manager claimed we didn't notify them in a timely manner (after we drove all night to get home and notivied them the following day. Can you say never again (and obviously we will notfy all our friends and family to steer clear of VRBO)?

Girl friends since grade school

We had a wonderful stay. The easiest of all VRBOs that I have ever stayed at for accessing the place. The only reason I didn’t give excellent scores is that the garage was not accessible from the house meaning we had to go outside to open the garage door but luckily it only rained part of one day. The kitchen is pretty dark. The owners were excellent whenever I communicated with them and I would definitely recommend this VRBO.
