About this house rental
The APPLE RETREAT is one of two brand new listings. I spent most of 2021 renovating in order to create a fantastic, elegant and charming place to enjoy in all seasons. A private entrance leads to three over-sized rooms, a very large living room with beamed 14-ft cathedral ceiling, all with great windows and light. The living room TV has AmazonPrime, Hulu, Cable etc, and there are also some board games, books etc. A dining-room/kitchen with table for six and a large kitchen island complements the beautiful full kitchen, with microwave, dishwasher, oven and fridge/freezer. Finally there's a very spacious bedroom with King Bed and luxury linens, with closet space and en suite bathroom (with tub/shower combo). The home also has a separate powder room. Outside, there is a pretty, enclosed private covered porch immediately outside the dining area, separated from it by three large picture windows. Great for relaxing outside on the evenings. In the daytimes, light streams into the living room and dining areas, making the place feel spacious and relaxed. This impression of space is greatly enhanced by the cathedral ceilings in both the living and dining rooms - rising to 14 feet at their peak. Most of the floors are in an elegant wood finish; the bedroom is carpeted. The house sleeps up to 4: That is: 2 in the King bed, and then a high-end Queen sofa-bed in the living room provides sleeping for 2 more when needed. Rather than creating additional smaller bedrooms, I decided to keep the place generous in proportion, so that guests can really spread out and not feel cramped. The landscaping round the house and in the whole Green Gables complex is almost an obsession for me, and continually a work in progress! - and is already quite stunning. For instance, I planted over 30,000 spring bulbs at Green Gables by hand last Fall! As this is an absolutely new listing it has no reviews as yet, and is priced competitively.
My two well-established and available vacation rentals nearby (also on the Green Gables property) have been give almost entirely 5-star ratings by more than 100 groups of guests, and you can read these at the links below. These are the PLUM RETREAT, which sleeps up to 6, and BIRCH REREAT which sleeps up to 4. Finally, a second NEW vacation home at Green Gables this year is the SPRUCE RETREAT, a richly furnished, colorful and spacious home, with full kitchen, sleeping 2-4; great for a couple's romantic getaway, or for a young family. Please explore these to read guests' positive feedback, and discover all that "Green Gables" has to offer.
Plum Retreat: www.vrbo.com/1656362 (Lots of great reviews)
Birch Retreat: www.vrbo.com/1656219 (Lots of great reviews)
Spruce Retreat: www.vrbo.com/2708225 (This one, like APPLE, is new for 2022, so no reviews yet)
I hope you'll choose Green Gables either this year or in the future. If you love gardens and are looking to truly relax, you've found the right place! Its location is perfect from which to get around Door County!

We attended a wedding at Northern Haus and this property was a 4 minute drive; making it a very convenient location to stay. Very pleasant surroundings inside and outside. Nice amenities and beautiful gardens! Would highly recommend!

Unfortunately, the property smelled like someone had previously smoked in it. That was the only downfall. Otherwise, perfect location and set up.

The Apple Retreat is a spacious and very well appointed stay in Door County. The unit itself is very large, with a full dining room, enormous kitchen with a center island, very large bedroom and living room. All of the furniture is comfortable and there are plenty of linens available. There is a full bath in the bedroom and a half bath off of the kitchen. The kitchen has all of the amenities you could hope for in a temporary stay. The outdoor landscaping is absolutely beautiful and Colin is continually adding on more. The location is excellent for anywhere you might want to visit in Door County, very easily accessible to shops and restaurants as well as local sights. Despite being somewhat close to a major road, the inside is quiet and peaceful. We recommend it highly and hope to stay there again in the future!

Our first time and not our last. Beautiful property with plenty of comforts of home. My one and only complaint is the sunken-in king mattress with coils poking us. Easy fix and should be high on the list of things to do.

This was our first visit to Door County and Apple was the perfect place for all of our plans. Just enough out of the way yet still close to all the action in Ephraim, Sister Bay, and Fish Creek. Thank you for sharing your place with us, Colin.

This is our second time staying in the Apple Retreat, and we will absolutely be coming back! The space is wonderful for a small family, with more than enough space in the bedroom for a pack and play. Little details like labels on the light switches and drawers make the whole place so user-friendly, and the home itself is so quiet, clean, and peaceful. Explore the gardens if you can too, they are just wonderful!

Apple is truly a cozy, relaxing, and beautiful place to stay. All convenience there too. What really set this place remarkable is not only beautiful gardens also the host’s kind heart and thoughtfulness.

Clean, well stocked and charming place! We enjoyed everything from coffee on the front porch admiring the gardens, to walking to an awesome newer coffee shop steps from the front door to snuggling on the couch at night watching a movie. The location could not have been better and easy to find. Owner is very informative and has thought of everything. Would love to come back!

We loved the beauty of the architecture and the many gorgeous gardens at Green Gables. Every amenity one could think of was provided at this completely restored vacation home, as well as many extras not necessary but so appreciated. We had an enjoyable and relaxing stay and look forward to a return visit.

We were very pleased with the location of this rental, being that it was easy to find yet traffic was very quiet. The house was gorgeous, spacious, and welcoming! The view out of the master bedroom was beautiful! We enjoyed our stay very much, and found the central location of the rental on the peninsula made it easy to get around to wherever we wanted to go.

It was a perfect home and Colin was great. We needed a coffee maker (not just a Keuring) and he came right over. Would stay again :)

We were excited when we booked it, but the Apple Retreat was even better in person! The space itself was so spacious and livable for our family of three, and we easily could have spent our whole weekend staying cozy in the house!
We so appreciated the attention to details that made our stay even more compostable (a new travel-sized baby shampoo, labels on the light switches, two super plush and cozy comforters on the bed, giant fuzzy blanket in the living
room).
Colin was so prompt, informative, and welcoming in his correspondence, and we are so looking forward to coming back soon!

Beautiful space to unwind! Can’t wait for our next visit! Evening cocktails and morning coffee in the front porch were so relaxing. Would absolutely recommend this spot to friends.

My mom sister and I stayed in late August. The location was perfect and the space was wonderful. Thoughtfully designed and decorated. Really enjoyed seeing all of the monarchs come to the flowers right outside the windows when sitting in the front room.

Can we actually tell you what this place was like? Is there like a 7 star rating available? I literally must BRAG that there was not one stitch of dirt or dust anywhere and I felt like I was in a 1500.00 night suite . I can say no more. It was perfect for a couple but I had a teenager and we used the hideaway bed. The quality of the unit surpassed what I could ever imagine. Like you are in a little perfect genie bottle away from the world....easy to get everywhere you need in DC....just magic! Thank you Colin!!!!
