This was an amazing place to stay!! The hosts were wonderful and everything was so nicely set up for us when we arrived. They were so hospitable and gave us great tips for things to do in the area. The place was very clean, well organized, and had extra amenities like coffee bags and little creamers set out for us when we arrived. The area is a perfect close distance to Sturgeon Bay while still being in a quiet scenic country side. It was exactly what we were looking for!

The cabin was amazing! We could not have had a better time. It was a perfect place to relax, play board games, curl up by the fire, and watch movies. It was clean, spacious, and perfect for a romantic getaway weekend. We cannot wait to come back next year!

Impeccably clean, Fully equipped Historic cabin

We absolutely loved staying here. Everything from the easy to access, close parking to the inner and outer Cabin amenities to the Goregous flowers that adorn the exterior. Our Hosts Russ and Stacy were so accomodating and friendly it was like meeting up with old friends. Dixie their Lovely, gentle Golden greated us with squeals of delight every day and basked in the sunshine with us as we enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. Our location was mere minutes to delicious restaurants, antique shops, wineries, shoreline and so much more. The beds and pillows were so comfy we slept like logs every night. AC upstairs and downstairs was so nice to come "home" to after a long day sighseeing in the summer heat. I cannot say enough about how lovely this cabin and its owners are. A scenic drive from Milwaukee, we 100% recommend this hidden gem! 10 out of 10!

Sweet & Simple

Our family of four adored this property. Russ and Stacy were very accommodating and the listing was identical to what we received. The charm of the property was exactly what we were looking for to explore the Door County area. Minutes from downtown and plenty of room for us to park the boat and charge it.

Cute Home

It was a lovely spot! Everything in the cabin was as described. Bed was comfortable and while we were there we only needed the fan at night. Another plus was Dixie the friendly dog that greeted us when we would get back from hiking. Would definitely recommend this place.

Unwind & Explore

Owners Russ & Stacy (and their sweet dog, Dixie) are genuinely friendly and welcoming. They carefully maintain their cabin to provide comfort and serenity. The cabin had everything I needed to enjoy my solo trip to Door County. It was spotlessly clean, the fireplace was perfect, and I slept soundly after exploring Sturgeon Bay & beyond!! It was hard to leave but I KNOW I will be back.

Amazing location

Russ and his wife are some of the kindest, most accommodating people we’ve ever rented from. The cabin is cozy and perfect for what we wanted in a place to stay. The Door County area has so much to offer and their cabin was the perfect compliment to a wonderful weekend.

Cabin stay

This was such an enjoyable stay. At first we were deterred by the steep stairs but then realized that was part of the old home. Stairs were like that and to change that would have changed the authenticity of it. Hand rails on the sides of the stairs took care of any concerns. The fireplace and exposed log beams were our favorite parts of the home. We used the fireplace often throughout our stay. So clean and cozy. Absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for the amazing experience. Maureen and Michael Oschman
