This was the perfect place for our family to stay. Plenty of space, beds, and chairs outside. Very close to state park. The fire pit was perfect. One issue was there were no extra blankets and it got chilly at night. Just a sheet and thin quilt on each bed. We also had to buy garbage bags since the box that was left was empty. Other than these 2 things it really was perfect for all of us.

Great location. Beautiful property. Lots of very comfortable beds for our friend group of 10

The cottage was charming. We enjoyed the screened in porch and backyard. For how many people the cottage can sleep there could be more bathrooms or the bathroom upstairs redone. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations.

The house was just what we needed and very comfortable for our group of 10. The location was convenient and it was easy to get to different areas in Door County. Would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay in this home! Three different families stayed and there was plenty of room for all of us. Living room and screen porch were delightful and the kids LOVED the bunk room, including the excellent selection of children’s books. The outside space was also fantastic. Lots of room for kids to run around.
There were a few places where the house was not quite as clean as we would have liked, but it’s also a very old home in the woods with tons of character, so some dust, dirt, and bugs was to be expected.
Overall we would highly recommend this rental and hope to stay again next summer!

The house was a great space for our family of 12 (8 adults, 4 kids). We enjoyed the fire pit in the backyard in the evening and relaxed on the porch. Location was convenient to explore the Door Co. area. We had a great stay.

Charming house. Bedrooms very large. Beds were ok.
Charcoal grill, would have been nice to have a large regular grill.
Huge back yard. No outdoor lights to light the yard, those were not working.
The dryer did not work very efficient.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Was great family time. Prolly wouldn't stay again unless the price was less.

Had a great time over the weekend in Door County! This Vrbo was perfect for our group of 10 adults. We each had a semi-private space and plenty of bathrooms for everyone. We enjoyed the use of the outdoor fire pit. The doors and flooring were quite creaky late at night/early in the morning when we were awake at different times. We were thrown off by the check-in email we received when we were already in town. I wish that had been sent out earlier so I would have known about the scarcity of toilet paper and body wash and could have packed our own. Overall 4.5 stars for the space but wish communication had been better.

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the cottage . A bit musty smelling but otherwise very clean. Possible fireplace ashes might have been the cause of the musty smell. We ran out of paper towels.
The setting is very rustic and beautiful.

Property is lovely, both inside the cottage and outdoors.
The amenities listed in the information about the property were not consistently available: no hair dryer, coffee pot didn’t work, one dish towel for 14 people for a 4 day stay, one hand towel is inadequate especially with the importance of hand washing in a pandemic. We’d have liked a mixer in the kitchen and some large serving bowls. Ants were a problem in the kitchen.

Stayed here for 5 days with extended family. Great clean property with lots of space for kids to play
8.0 / 10.0
The only thing I wish was that we could have stayed longer! The location is great and the house has a perfect setup for multiple families to enjoy time together. Loved the main living area and the cute porch. Decor is very nice! Kitchen is small but sufficient. Bedrooms have great space! The 2 1/2 bathrooms worked well. Firewood can be purchased 2 driveways down the road.
The one thing that I rated lower was due to what seemed like an issue with the cleaning crew. There was a large amount of food left in the dishwasher and dead mosquitoes on the walls and a few other things like that which should have been taken care of before we arrived. We called on a broken item and the company managing the property was quick to call back. It seemed like there would be a quick response if there was an emergency to take care of.
All in all, wish we had a longer stay! It’s a beautiful home on a large property with all the amenities you need!

Great Location and Cozy Cottage
We enjoyed our stay in the cottage very much. Phenomenal location. Really charming decor and plenty of space. Also appreciated all the spices in the kitchen and the sweet little gift that was left. The washer dryer also worked well and we appreciated that there was detergent.
Only reason we rated the cottage four stars is because several of the mattresses are very uncomfortable and the linens, especially the towels are quite worn. The house also doesn't have a blow dryer, which is a home rental basic. Also, definitely bring bug spray, as the mosquitos are the property are terrible!

Charming home in a great location!
I owned a home in Ephraim for over 30 years, and now come each year with 3 friends for a golf weekend. We've rented many homes, and this is the nicest we've stayed in. Clean as a pin, nicely decorated, and well appointed, we will be back!

Family Fun
We enjoyed our stay here! Plenty of space for our group of 10. The location is great, close to Peninsula state park, restaurants, shopping. Good private backyard with firepit and charcoal grill. Not a lot of traffic noise despite being right on the highway. The house was clean and the kitchen fairly well equipped to cook a few meals at the cabin.

Charming old country house
Renovated old country house right on Hwy 42. Clean house with lots of sleeping options, (bunk beds for kids, etc). It’s a very busy road and you need to watch carefully to make your turn. Surrounded by forest and very close to the state park.

Girls’ Getaway
The property was even better than it looks in the pictures! Easy, keyless entry. SO clean and cozy. We had a great time sitting by the fire pit and an equally great time sitting in the cozy living room playing games while it rained. The location was also amazing, the midpoint between Egg Harbor and Sister Bay. We were talking about coming back before we even left!

A perfect family getaway
Manistique Stone Cottage was a great place for the family to gather. This cozy and unique property provided the perfect home base for parents, children, and grandchildren to gather after being apart for over a year due to covid. We were able to reconnect and build family memories in a beautiful and comfortable home that is perfectly located to enjoy the activities Door County offers.

Wonderful idyllic stone cottage
What a sweet place!! So clean and well decorated! We loved having coffee every morning on the porch! Great central location to all activities. Some street noise but not problematic and dissipated at night! Pillows were SO comfy! Everything worked well and was in good repair. Obviously a well loved cottage!

Cozy house in a great location!
We had a great experience with this stone cottage. We were pleasantly surprised by the home and property. It was a perfect size for two families- 4 adults and 5 kids. The house was older but nicely updated and clean. It was well stocked with linens and kitchenware. It was a chilly fall weekend and we enjoyed the giant fireplace in the cottage each night. The kids loved the bunk bed rooms and had fun playing in their rooms and especially in the backyard and forest. This property is literally connected to Peninsula state park! Communication with the property manager was super easy and friendly. We would definitely recommend this property.

Short getaway
The property was great. Beautiful yard and very private location. Great for bonfires and enjoying the outdoors. You could walk across the street and access the state forest. We just had four of us so we had plenty of room. It would be a little crowded if you had 12 people even though it can sleep 12. Very nice place.
