House was the perfect vacation for my family vacation! The house was well appointed, clean, and with a great location.
There was play areas for children. Lots of TVs and separate hang out spaces. The kitchen was large and easy to navigate.
The host was responsive to questions.

Stayed with my family for fall mini vacay (9 women aged 25-75), space for all of us, great decor, everything you need in the kitchen, beautiful bedrooms and master bath, lovely woods to walk in, quiet neighborhood, and many areas to hang out. Really nice screened in porch and outdoor FP, we had the best time! Highly recommend.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful, spacious, and well located home with our family. Our group of 5 retired siblings and their spouses thoroughly enjoyed all of your amenities and the easy access to many of the attractions in Door County. We also enjoyed the frequent visits from the wild turkeys and deer. Since we all enjoy cooking and eating, the well equipped kitchen and large dining table were especially appreciated. The only item we wanted and couldn't find was a pie plate. We only wish the weather had cooperated a little more so we could have made more use of your outdoor spaces. Maybe next time.

My husband, 2 daughters with their families and I spent a great week in this lovely home - 6 adults and 4 kids ages 1 to 6. While this would be a fabulous place for adults, it was also very family friendly. We ate dinner in the large dining room, played with Legos in the screened porch on a rainy morning and made s'mores in the outdoor fireplace on the deck. The front and back yards were great play spaces. The kitchen had a huge supply of dishes (plastic and china), silverware and pots and pans. There was a double oven, large fridge and pantry. We used it all. There was a nice variety of toys and especially nice kids' books. Each family had bedrooms and bathrooms on their own floor, so we could choose to be together or have some privacy.
We made great use of the Door County fun close by, but we could escape the crowds in this secluded space.
And the owner was very responsive to my many questions before our stay.
My family gathers somewhere every year. If we return to Door County, we'll hope that this house is available.

Great place that could accommodate all of our extended family in a central location. The kitchen was wonderful for a big group and had everything you could possibly want for cooking and grilling. We loved the large tables and many chair for dining indoor or outdoor. It was a very memorable experience and the house allowed for us to have a lot of together time and enough room for privacy also.

The house was absolutely beautiful!! There were so many cool touches that made it unique and so homey. I would definitely stay here again if we came back to Door County! We did a lot of touring, so didn’t spend as much time at the house as we would have liked too, but the time we did spend there cooking and on the patio with the outdoor fireplace was so memorable and relaxing!!! The owner was amazing at getting back to us quickly and seamed very kind and caring. I would recommend this home if you want a beautiful, clean, upscale home to enjoy with friends or family!! 💜

Amanda, We absolutely thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Norra Skogen. It was a fabulous house for me and my family from the UK to get together in. Plenty of space for all and so beautifully decorated - we felt at home immediately.
We also found the location - close to Sister Bay, with all the restaurants, beach and boat hire and a hop skip and a jump from beautiful Ephram. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!!

Our large family stayed for a week and it was fabulous. The house has a large kitchen for cooking in a big group, lovely deck and fireplace for outdoor gathering. Setting is in the woods which is private and quiet. Near Sister Bay and Ephraim for shopping and things to do without being right in the crowds. Host was super kind, easily accessible with easy check in. Highly recommend, would stay here again!

Large newer home on a dead end street of other large homes with large lots. Very well stocked in every way. Plenty of room for three families. Very quiet location and has features that are reminiscent of old Door County.

The large home was spotless and beautiful. Plenty of amenities. Check in and out were easy. The kids loved running around outside and roasting marshmallows in the outdoor fireplace. Internet kept going out, but not the property’s fault! Had some movies interrupted and one of the adults sadly had to work over the weekend and did have to go to a coffee house to finish. Don’t let this deter you from the overall experience. We were incredibly happy with the kind service and beautiful decor. My son left his tablet accidentally at check out, and the cleaning staff reported it and the owner called me immediately to arrange getting it back to us. What wonderful service!

Wonderful home, centrally located to everything in Door County. Home was super clean, well furnished and very comfortable and cozy. Only a few minor complaints, that are barely worth mentioning...(a few light bulbs out and really poor Internet...although the poor wifi/internet is likely a location/Door County issue given that we have experienced problems before at other homes in the Door). Overall, the owner and manager were extremely friendly, very responsive and nice to deal with. The home is very well appointed and very cozy. It's on a large lot and tucked back away from HWY 42 allowing for privacy, silence and wonderful walks just outside the front door. Great for large families. We would for sure recommend renting from this owner and staying at this home!

The property was not described accurately--the kitchen and living areas were up two flights of steps and thus my 80+ year old mother could not join us for dinner, etc. It should have stated that.

This is a lovely home and generously accommodated our family for a beautiful fall weekend in Door County. We especially enjoyed the outdoor decks and fireplaces. The kitchen is very well stocked and provided amazing views of the wild turkeys and deer that stopped by to visit. It is centrally located with easy access to restaurants, shops and Peninsula State Park. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Great experience for our family reunion in this gorgeous home and property in prime location near Penninsula State Park. We were welcomed by a deer and her fawn and again, as we left, another deer appeared to say goodbye. ..part of the “magic” of the natural surroundings of this lovely Door County property!

This lovely home is in a convenient location and accommodates 12 people with ease. We really enjoyed the homes outdoor spaces...the outdoor fireplace, the outdoor "dining room" and screened porch. We also appreciated the owners quick response when she was made aware of an HVAC issue.

Fantastic location situated between Sister Bay and Ephraim/Fish Creek. Very private and well suited for a family get together, in our case 3 generations (kids and grandkids). Bedrooms and bathrooms are well designed. Kitchen is big and well stocked with dishes, pots, pans and all the amenities we needed. Very close to grocery store, beaches and various outdoor activities. My family (and I) would highly recommend this rental for a family get together or a number of couples/close friends that want a great get-away-location in Door County. My hat's off to the host!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Norra Skogen. The home is tucked away and surrounded by beautiful trees but minutes away from shops, the lake, etc. Between the three adult couples we had and my two little kiddos, there was ample space for all of us! We especially appreciated the playroom with books and toys on the top level, and the sunroom and deck with fireplace. Also the huge kitchen was perfect given all the cooks in the family! I was pleasantly surprised at all the dishes they had for the little ones - definitely family friendly home! We hope to be back soon!

This property was beautiful, spacious, and accommodating to our large group. We felt like we were on our own resort! Amanda and the house manager were extremely responsive. We were so close to restaurants, the lake, coffee shops, hiking, and golfing. We will definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at Norra Skogen. The home was beautiful and spacious enough for our entire family to spend time together after a long pandemic year. The location was very convenient to a variety of activities for everyone to enjoy...swimming, biking, hiking, golf, dining out, etc. The toys and yard were perfect for the little ones to enjoy playing at home. Thank you for sharing your home. We had a great time!

What a wonderful experience! The house was a most perfect place for our group of friends. After just four days stay, everyone left with the same great feeling of mission accomplished. The perfect location (close to everything), beautiful, huge, well designed, and constructed house made our stay unforgettable. The owner and the manager communicated well accommodating to a couple of small requests (a bulb and checkout). The inside and outside fireplaces worked great. The bedrooms were perfect size, the showers had excellent pressure, and we appreciated love the owners decorated their house. Amazing time and we cannot wait to comeback next year!
