Birthday weekend
This house was perfect as a base of operations for a weekend in Door County. With great food, a winery, and Door County Brewing in walking distance we did not feel like we had to drive all over the peninsula in order to have a great experience. The house was well equipped and very comfortable for 2 couples.

Perfect in every way
I can’t say enough good things about this property! Spotlessly clean, upscale furnishings and appliances, obvious attention and thought toward quality, even the little things like labeling and small containers of baking soda and baking powder, in addition to flour and sugar - everything you need or want in a vacation home. Would most definitely stay here again!

Nice Getaway
Very nice, cute home, close to places to eat and things to do! Home was very clean & tidy...we hated to go home at the end of our stay, it was nice sitting on the front porch in the morning for coffee & watching the birds & squirrels. So quiet! Beautiful little town of Baileys Harbor.
