Great location

This cozy cabin was the perfect home base for our Door County adventures. Roomy, well-appointed and comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better location as we sought out sunsets at Peninsula State Park, crashing waves at Cave Point County Park and the smooth rocks at Schoolhouse Beach on Washington Island. It was early in the season, and despite a few places not yet open, we still had plenty of restaurants to choose from, and we embraced the fact that we had the place - as in Door County - all too ourselves.

Winter Spruce Gallery Crawl

Spruce is very nice. Colin, the owner, communicates very well and is very helpful. Spruce couldn’t be better located to facilitate access to the best of what Door County has to offer. We especially enjoyed the art galleries.

1st time Door County Experience

We made a last minute decision to travel to Door County for the first time and this little cottage called out to us. The location was perfect for our needs and being able to go to many of the attractions were pretty much 15-20 mins or less travel. The home itself is nicely decorated and Colin’s personal touches from make up remover to having a full working order kitchen was a huge benefit even though this trip we didn’t cook but we will be back here hopefully in the Fall. You will enjoy this get away gem!

Perfect

We had the best fall getaway with my sister and daughters at Spruce Retreat. Cozy, quaint, quiet location close to beautiful Peninsula State Park. Spruce retreat has everything you need. We had as much fun staying in as we did going out. Highly recommend for a perfect stay!
