This is the most unique and interesting vacation rental I've ever seen! A truly fully stocked kitchen, expansive DVD collection, and lots of space for relaxing and socializing. We took advantage of the spacious lakefront yard and fire pit. The decor was a hit amongst our party! And the location is ideal for walking to shops, restaurants, and the nearby beach and park.
The property was as described by prior renters. Quirky and in need of some updating &TLC. That being said the house was what we needed for a family reunion of 5 couples. The location is great and the views were stunning.
Property was located for easy access and allowed walking to Beaches and tourist visiting areas. The backyard provided a safe and fun place for grandkids to play and family to gather. Kitchen and Bathroom facilities were properly stocked and provided easy access for all people to use and be comfortable.
Our whole family and dog were here for a 4 day vacation. We enjoyed the beautiful view of Lake Michigan. On the clear nights, the stars were bright. The layout and size of the property is great for a large group like our family. The large dining room table was perfect for meals and gathering for games. The kids enjoyed running in the backyard and being within walking distance of the beach. The host was quick to respond and answer our questions. The location worked for taking advantage of the many activities throughout Door County.
The location is great. Can walk all over. Views are stunning. The biggest issue was the cleanliness of the home. It really needs a deep clean and some updating.
The house is large with 4 bathrooms, 2 queen BR over garage, 1 queen downstairs, 1 king and lots of bunk beds and 1 queen upstairs. Really nice porch overseeing the lake. Deck out back and long grassy area that is short fenced in all the way around except for 2 openings next to the house that we blocked off for the dog and child. Unfortunately, no entrance to the lake at all. Aclan? beach 3 houses south, really nice. Bp next door is handy.
Needs some upkeep here and there but all in all very nice place. Super nice couple that owns it. They do their own cleaning, so we tried to pick up after ourselves and tidy a bit before we left. Ice maker broken but they bought a bag of ice and that was fine. Well stocked everything. Internet sketchy and Roku had issues but finally got it to work on the porch. Upstairs was great but that was closest to the modem. Thank you to Mary and Ray.
Spacious older house with a large backyard overlooking Lake Michigan. Located on the main highway (busy during the day) within walking distance to restaurants/shops/nightspots. Good-sized bedrooms.
Contacted owners ahead of stay to ask about early entry. return email indicated we could get in at 1:00 and a bedroom would be ready for children to take a nape, but that didn't happen. Owners didn't remember. The dryer in the garage broke the day we arrived (6/28). there was another small dryer in bathroom, but its time was defective and had to keep repeat drying. New dryer in garage was installed late afternoon on the July 3. Ice maker on refrigerator stopped working, reported to owner. Never fixed. Owner comment, the next renter would benefit from our reporting.
I had contacted the owner a year in advance to rent there house on Glidden Drive and was told they would reserve, but again when contact their memory didn't hold. When contact it was booked.
Two bedrooms are in the garage without air conditioning...so no one slept there.
Great place to watch the 4th of July parade and the f ireworks in Bailey's Harbor.
House was right on lake as advertised and we could walk to a lot of places. Lots of history to look at in this home and when it rained or got too cool to sit outside under the top deck we enjoyed the 3 season room facing the lake.
We all enjoyed our time in this unique home. The backyard water view, balconies and time around the firepit were a bit hit! The hosts were very helpful and available to us.
Our growing family (aged 1 to 67) just spent a week at Cedar Beach Inn
The house was spacious and extremely well stocked! We have been coming up for years and this rental was the best so far
Most amazing was the view and all of the outdoor spaces (yard and multiple decks) AND proximity to the beach, playground, town of Baileys Harbor not to mention - all of the west coast towns - nothing is more than 15 minutes away
Canât wait to return
Our family ( 3 generations ) stayed for a week. We enjoyed the porches, the backyard, the view, and fire pit.
We had a slight glitch in that the oven was not operational, however the owner made an accommodation for that.
We had a wonderful time and have great memories of our time at Cedar Beach Resort.
We came up for our daughters wedding. We had my 85 year old parents and our adult children. Every one had plenty of space. My parents loved sitting on the huge porch out back watching the water. The view was amazing. Beautiful sunrises. Very relaxing. The proximity to town was perfect. Made life easy to step out for dinner or drinks. The trees that lined the backyard made things very private on both sides. The shady front porch had plenty of seating to relax and people watch. The home is Decor is eclectic and charming with history rich items. I have a fond appreciation for. We had an amazing weekend and couldnât be happier. We will definitely be back.
âą The view from the porch and yard was beautiful.
âą The yard was big enough for kids to run around and play games.
âą The furniture had issues. Recliners were broken or difficult to operate. Wooden tables and chairs wobbled, creaked and appeared ready to collapse.
âą The coffee makers had used grounds in them. We bought vinegar to run through them and it came out completely black in one of them, yuck!
âą The whirlpool bath was not cleaned when we arrived. In general, the entire house looked like it could use a good cleaning. There were clothes and stuff in closets and dressers.
âą The garage door opener didnât work.
âą There were not very many towels available and we ran out of toilet paper with 2 days left.
âą The steps to the lake were unusable. The balcony part had no support and would have been dangerous to use.
âą One of the garage bedrooms was so tiny! It was almost entirely filled by the bed. We dubbed it âthe dungeonâ.
âą The owners never responded to phone calls or messages through VRBO. Ray stopped by on his way to a meeting the first day but not because we had reached out. Messages sent after that got no response.
âą The fireplace in the living room didnât work.
âą The house will sleep 16 but the only place for 16 people to gather is the yard.
âą Iâve read the responses to other reviews so Iâm fully expecting a snarky response with excuses and blame shifting.
âą I love Baileys Harbor and we will be back, but not to this property or these owners again.
It is large enough for family reunions and on the water. We just did reconstruction on the balconies overlooking the harbor, removed the green carpeting upstairs and put in a hardwood floor and a bunk bed room instead of the second kitchen(2018).
