This cottage is perfect. The owners have literally thought of everything. There were 10 of us for a family vacation. It’s far enough away from the hustle and bustle of door county but close enough to enjoy it all. We took the kayaks out, the water is shallow but we were still able to get out there and enjoy the water. Beds were comfortable! Plenty of room for all of us, we had a great time! Owners were super responsive if we had any questions, we didn’t have too many because they had us prepared for anything we might need. We would love to come back again!

Great family stay!

House is WELL stocked with just about everything you would need! Beds were comfortable, and the bedding was a big hit!A full septic tank caused a stressful late afternoon into evening. Host responded quickly once they was informed of the problem, and situation was resolved. An abundance of ticks limited yard activity. Bay was too shallow so we were unable to use canoe/kayaks that were provided! We would go back again!

Great little cottage on Sturgeon Bay

Even before we arrived at the cottage, we had great communication with Dana. She was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay as well. This has a nice large grassy area that our kids enjoyed. The cottage is well stocked and we felt at home here. We would stay again.

We had a great 7-night stay at Sawyer Harbor Retreat with family (4 adults and 2 teens). The house is very well-equipped and clean. The space was great for our family of four plus grandparents that can't do stairs. The host was very responsive and they were even able to accommodate us checking in 1.5 hours early. The only negative was the private dock, was described as "easy to launch kayaks and canoe" and this is not the case as the dock is small and the water level is super low with high grasses and cattails. You might be able to launch from the dock but it certainly would not be "easy", however, we were able to get the kayaks down to the boat launch just a few blocks away. Overall, I would recommend Sawyer Harbor Retreat.

Perfect Door County Getaway

This property was amazing. It was located in a quiet neighborhood just 10-15 mins away from good shopping and food. The house itself is very nice, and was completely stocked with whatever you needed. There was more provided here than any other property we have ever stayed at. I would highly recommend staying here.

The perfect cabin feel!

Our stay was awesome! Great cabin feel, water views, huge yard, and very private. The best part however is that this cabin is fully outfitted with all the essentials for the minute you get there and realize you may have forgot something. They had complimentary toothbrushes, toothpaste, coffee, condiments, and more than just one roll of toilet paper and one garbage bag! That means a lot when 4 guys have their minds on fishing, not shopping! Dana was great, communication was superb. Will be back annually if its up to me. Great Job Dana!

Easter Visit

Stayed overnight for an Easter getaway to meet up with family. The Sawyer Harbor Retreat is roughly 10-15 minutes from the busy-ness of the city. A comfortable and quiet place to stay. And listening to the birds singing this morning was very relaxing.
