Nothing bad to say about this place...some ppl nit-pick over the darndest things, but we thought this place was the bomb-diggetty! :) Everything you'd ever need was pretty much already there. The fire pit & gazebo covered hot tub was our high light. Much needed vaca for us girls & it did not disappoint... close to everything! Would definitely stay here again! Tom (the host) was very fast on responding to any of our questions also.

Great Stay in Sister Bay
Enjoyed the home and the outdoor property/amenities as well. 4 BDRM home with plenty of space to be together both upstairs and on the main floor with two separate TV rooms available. Big kitchen/tv room upstairs with amazing fire place and plenty of room to all hang out together. Back yard had beautiful firepit and a wonderful hot tub with its own roll structure to add a bit more privacy as well. Working with Tom was incredible as he went above and beyond with his communication to make sure all of our needs and expectations were being met. I would absolutely rent this property from Tom again and can't thank him enough for making our family feel so appreciated and looked over.

Nice location
There are a number of things that could use attention in the house that an owner staying in the property would find needed fixing: a broken drawer in the kitchen that we put back together, closet doors that we adjusted to close better, a crank out window that would lose it's guide and not be able to crank back in, refrigerator filter that needed cleaning so it cooled properly and pushed out door screens. We were surprised that the air-conditioning is only in the upstairs living room, the rest of the house relies on windows and ceiling fans for cooling. That's a problem with the downstairs twin bedroom. It only has a door leading to a small backyard deck and doesn't have a screen door. The carpet in that room could use replacing with tile as there is a strong mildew smell, most likely from people accessing the house from the hot tub and dripping water onto the carpet. One of the twin bed mattresses could also use replacing as it dips in the middle. However, the house was a perfect size for our group, had a nice layout, a very nice large yard and superb location. I'm conflicted on submitting this review because the house overall was very nice and Tom was responsive to our need for more towels and replacing a nonfunctional ceiling fan. For the amount of money we spent, it could be five stars but needs some repairs besides the ones we performed.

Memorable Stay At Sister Bay
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home in Sister Bay. Tom was excellent at communicating everything we needed to know about the property, making our stay smooth and enjoyable. Our group of 6 was very comfortable, thanks to the spacious layout with two separate living areas. The younger adults loved having their private space downstairs, while my husband and I enjoyed the tranquility of our own space upstairs. The house is beautifully designed with an open floor plan that made it perfect for our group gatherings. We especially enjoyed the two outdoor patios, which offered a great spot to relax and take in the stunning surroundings. The kitchen was well-equipped and made cooking meals together a breeze. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches like the essential items provided—coffee, sugar, dishwashing tablets, and toiletries in the bathrooms. The selection of board games and the lovely hot tub were big hits with our family, adding to our fun and relaxation. We would highly recommend this home for a comfortable and memorable stay in Sister Bay!
