Summary: Stay was wonderful really enjoyed the sunrise. Cabin was nice and clean and very quiet and peaceful. Could see the big dipper as big as can be right outside the picture windows. We would definitely come back.
John B. Aug 19, 2024 03:18:05 AM
Summary: Lovely quiet location
Lyndsey H. Aug 7, 2024 04:02:05 AM
Summary: This was a perfect spot for a family vacation in Door County! Our girls (10 & 11) enjoyed exploring the pier and fishing every evening. The fire pit was lovely.
Albert A. Aug 1, 2024 03:24:37 AM
Summary: We recently stayed at the Waters End Cottage in Sister Bay and were very disappointed. Upon first entry, we found dirty linens and towels from the previous tenants, unvacuumed floors, broken blind in the living room. A phone call got someone to pick up the laundry, but at bedtime we were then short bedding for the sofa bed. The location was described as rural, but it was not tranquil. There was a steady stream of foot and vehicle traffic to the "private pier." The area leading to the fire pit and swing (which were in poor condition) was not recently mowed. We felt it was way overpriced for what we got, and would not repeat this experience.
Christopher A. Jul 13, 2024 03:33:57 AM
Summary: Cute house right on Lake Michigan with porch and and fire pit. Very private and quiet area but within a few miles to some stores/restaurants and only 20 minutes from Bailey's Harbor and 25 minutes to Peninsula State Park. We enjoyed our stay.
Shane F. Sep 16, 2023 10:33:11 PM
Summary: This was a great home. The common areas were spacious and the kitchen appeared well stocked. Some of the decor/finished were a little dated but the space itself was great. The outside area is amazing, there is a fire pit and a swing right on the water. Definitely would stay again.
