Location is excellent beautiful spot right on the water. Very scenic, quiet and peaceful. I would love to own a small cabin on the same road. If I were to give any helpful advice, I would say that the cabin could use some updating. We had a wonderful time with our family.
My family and I booked our stay during the 4th of July weekend. We booked here because of the sandy (not rocky) beach access, closeness to Sturgeon Bay activities, and to have a charming cottage experience. The pictures on the listing do not do this place justice! We were pleasantly surprised with how cozy, yet spacious the cottage was for our family of 5 plus two guests. There were plenty of places to sleep and the beach is literally steps away. Our kids played every day at the beach. The one thing we had a hard time with was the extreme mold problem. We are all highly allergic to mold and we all suffered from the must and mold during the night in our rooms, even with all the fans going and windows open There is also water leakage in some parts of the house. Aside from the cottage needing some care and attention inside the walls for water damage, it was a really cute stay and our family enjoyed it!
We had a wonderful time at this location. The beach is beautiful and great for swimming. However the pictures are deceiving because there are no chairs at the beach for a campfire and although there are 4 bunk beds in the upstairs they were to close to the ceiling for our people to sleep in them.
We've been coming to this property for the past 4 years. Its definitely gotten better with some much needed updates. My family and I love this place because you cannot beat this location. We'll be keep coming for years to come!
Had a great stay, cabin was plenty clean and roomy. Me, 4 adult friends, and 2 kids had a great time, with plenty of room. Beach was clean, and water was nice all 3 days. Will definitely be going back! Also had a last-minute dog addition and had no issues with renters accommodating that!
The location is wonderful and what makes this house desirable. House would need some updating and property needs a new cleaning service. Otherwise, very nice beach and neighborhood.
It was a nice cabin right across from beach. Downfall was we had to haul all our own sheets and towels with us. Could use all new mattresses None of the beds were comfortable. More windows that opened with screens. For the price wish it was a little more updated with more comfortable sleeping accommodations and linens provided. Location was great though and loved the screen room. We go to sturgeon bay every summer for a week and would love to find a place to return to every year.
Some damage to property that was not there the previous year that owner was not aware of which also prohibited us from using one of the showers. More detail could be used in cleaning. Windows in bathrooms had quite a bit of dirt in window, like it hadnât been cleaned from opening up in the spring. Other than that it was perfect and as expected.
The cottage has an old fashioned, "up north" kind of a vibe. We enjoyed both the grill and the fire pit. One of the days, it was really hot and the cottage doesn't have AC. Thankfully, the caretaker dropped off a couple of fans!
The beach is amazing!
Plan to stay again in the future.
Our family loved our stay at this cottage. It was clean and had plenty of space for all of us to relax and unwind. My favorite feature was the screened in porch where I could hear and see the rolling waves on the beach of Lake Michigan, which was just steps from the front door. The kids loved the beach and my husband was a big fan of the fire pit. We were even able to host a couple meals with extended family who drove up to grill out with us before enjoying the sunset on their drive home. It was so convenient to the shopping in Sturgeon Bay, but felt pretty far removed from a hectic city experience. The neighbors were friendly and the cabin was perfect. We will be making our stay a yearly family tradition.
Love this place. This property would be even better if there was more than just one regular bed in a bedroom, and shower filtration for the water, but ya just canât beat the location. You canât!
The house is quaint, but in dire need of attention.
The water quality is terrible. There is a strong smell, making it undrinkable and a challenge to even think about taking a shower.
The house could use some attention; there isn't a light on the stairway, ceiling lights have pull-strings, the stairway carpet is dirty, the bunkbed mattresses are rock hard, there isn't enough living room seating... The location and view are amazing, but, we won't book this location again.
property is right in front of the beach, it feels very much private. Forget about cell service, you won't get much. Also, if you like AC in the summer then don't expect it here, NO AC. Very nice location to just relax and enjoy the beach. We didn't wander much into the town because we didn't really know where the town was, so it was difficult to locate. We did enjoy using the grill and eating outdoors.
The owner needs a new cleaning person because the house was filthy. Upon entering is this old stinky, dirty, dingy couch. Looks and smells like it's been recycled from the alley and never cleaned. We couldn't sit in the living room, mostly gathered in the kitchen or dining area. Floors looked like they haven't been mopped in forever, we had to go to target and mop the whole place since we had a lot of kids who do not wear shoes s in the house. The upstairs is all carpeted, so .... yeah not for us. The carpet just looks very old and stains everywhere. We found this blood stain on a wall, very disgusting. One thing for it to be old but cleanliness is very important especially when you have to bring your own pillows and sheets. You expect the place to be nice and clean and it was just not that.
Kay was prompt and helpful with any questions and problems. The cabin was clean and beautiful. Internet access worked well for our group but there was no cell reception for most of our phones. We will definitely check into staying here if we are ever in the area again.
