Close to great Sister Bay attractions, but a few blocks off the main street offering peace and quiet too. The home is very well equipped and clean. It was just right for three generations of our family. We would love to return one day.

Fantastic stay! This property was so beautiful and thoughtfully laid out. And communication with the owner was always lightning-fast and helpful. The location of this property absolutely cannot be beat - easy walking distance to town but somehow extremely peaceful. A wonderful oasis!

Great Family Getaway

From start to finish, Sarah made the process easy and stress free Modern Dorr was as advertised, neat, clean and talk about location! Great central location with a short drive to most activities and walking distance to downtown Sister Bay, the beach as well as coffee and restaurants. Could not have asked for a better experience.

Location was perfect!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Modern Dorr! The location was perfect -- we loved that we could enjoy all that Sister Bay has to offer (beach/waterfront, restaurants, live music, etc.), and after a quick few minute walk we were back to a super private and peaceful "home". The amenities and accommodations didn't lack a thing...absolutely everything we needed (or could think of!) was supplied. Sarah provided recommendations for things to do and places to eat which we also found very helpful. We'd absolutely stay here again!
