A little history about the property-
My ancestors built little sister resort (was next door) when they settled the area and when my grandparents sold that they built this house in 74. I actually lived in it from 9-16 too. The resort ended up buying it and renting it out for 20+ years. When the resort sold, they broke off some of the side properties including this one. My husband and I jumped at the chance to own what used to be family property.
Any questions then feel free to ask!

Nissa is a super host. She was available and attentive to our needs. The only hiccup occurred when, with our extended stay (11 days) and having a couple of old friends stay three nights, we ran short of toilet paper. I notified Nissa of the need, but we had to provide for our shortage. I wonder if there is a VRBO rule that doesn't allow the host to come and interact with the guests? If so, it's a rule that needs to change.
We had a wonderful stay. The house is older ('70s), but is in good condition and provided us with the space and location we needed for our vacation.

We enjoyed our stay. There is a nice view and walking distance to Pebble beach for a great sunset. Nice fire pit too. Nissa was quick to respond to our question. Thanks, hope to re-visit someday.

The home had not been cleaned before we got there! The countertop and stove top were dusty and greasy. The kitchen sink had food particles and coffee grounds in the strainers. The windows and patio doors were full of mildew and spider webs, and we killed at least a dozen spiders in the first couple of days. If the place had been cleaned prior to our arrival, we would not have had any complaints.
We left the place cleaner than we found it!!

Nice clean house. Older but that's OK. Location is good. Lots of trees around the property/area so there will are bugs and spiders outside, but also deer. Only issue was the grill outside didn't get hot enough to cook a brat. All in all, happy with the place.

Nice stay just a short distance from downtown sister bay. Home is older, has a bit of a musty smell. Could use a nice deep clean. Beds are comfortable. Owners very responsive. Nice stay place to stay in Sister Bay!

Older home, but comfortable beds, clean inside, and had a wood burning fireplace which we enjoyed. House had the amenities we needed and expected, though somewhat outdated.
There were a couple of issues, one being the showers did not have shower heads, just nozzles, and the house definitely had a damp odor throughout. Lots of bugs and cobwebs on exterior windows, the outside wasn't ready for guests.

The house was clean and in a great location in Sister Bay. Very quiet neighborhood right off of the water. We will definitely come back again!

PROS: The house location is great - short drive into Sister Bay downtown area, close to grocery store, within walking (long walk though) to Pebble Beach with gorgeous sunsets! The owner of the house is extremely responsive to the messages and kind, too - Nissa ran out a coffee maker replacement when the one in the house wasn't working. The house has plenty of room to cook, dine, hang out, and accommodate. There is space in the driveway and front yard for kids to play. And there is a firepit with chairs.
CONS: However, the property came up short on our expectations of cleanliness/smell/wetness. The house was VERY damp, there were AC wall units that tried to dry it up. So it either our family (especially little kids) were cold/damp or warm/wet/smelly. There were lots of air fresheners throughout the house to help with the smell, but as someone who is sensitive to strong smells, we had to unplug a few to be able to breathe. As much as we wanted to enjoy the house, the smell and wetness really soured our stay.

The host was great communicating with me throughout the process. Our group plans a trip every summer and are reasonably familiar with the rental property process.
This property was pretty true to the photographs and description. The six of us adults had plenty of room. The location was close to all of the towns along the lake. There was a lot more traffic on this road than we expected, probably due to construction on the homes across the street and behind the house where exclusive homes are being built on the site of a former golf course. We made use of the grill and fire pit, which were nice additions. Each couple took turns preparing dinners. The kitchen could’ve been a bit more equipped; there were no pitchers, mixing bowls, working can opener, ice cube trays or serving dishes, but plenty of plates, bowls, flatware, glasses and coffee cups. I take responsibility for that, bc I should’ve asked the host about kitchen specifics beforehand. The house was clean, but could use a deeper clean in places like the kitchen windowsill (lots of gnats and mosquitoes appeared around the kitchen sink overnight, door and window jambs, around sink fixtures, patio doors and thorough vacuuming of carpeting.
Overall, this was a clean, comfortable property. Beds were comfortable. Air conditioning was a plus, as we had some unseasonably hot days. The host provided firewood for the fire pit. The house could use some updating, but it was nostalgic, as a child of the 60s & 70s, looking at some of the older features of the house. It’s really cool that this house has been the the host’s family for several years. I know she must be very proud to own such a lovely place.

First Trip to Door County
Two couples rented the property for their first trip to Door County. The location worked well for us to explore the area. The patio off the dinning area was great for snacks and drinks before supper. There were no bugs! Great!

Great location, private wooded area. Exactly as described on VRBO. A great home base for visiting Door County.

Windows and light fixtures
The owners need to pay for a deep clean of windows, sliding glass doors ruins the view. Spiders webs with eggs on lighting fixtures. I went to clean them but had to go buy glass cleaner before I could started. Theirs was a power smell of a chemical to probably disguise a moldy smell. The beds and linen and location were good.

Sister Bay Respite
The house is in a quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. It’s in a secluded spot but not far from town. It was especially nice sitting at the fire pit with friends. WiFi was easily accessed and could even be used outside.

Cozy and quiet moments from the heart of Sister Bay
This was everything we had hoped for! A clean and comfy ranch in a quiet, woodsy setting, you would never guess this is only a couple minutes outside the bustle of Sister Bay! The beds were comfy, the fire pit was relaxing, and morning coffee on the deck were perfect. We had a nice short trip to Pebble Beach from there too! The owner was very prompt to respond and amiable when we had questions, plus she made sure plenty of amenities were stocked up for our use. We can't thank the owner enough for an ideal stay!

This home was tucked in the woods with pebble beach just down the street. You can see the lake across the street from the front yard. Nissa was a wonderful host and responded timely to all of our questions.

Great place to stay
This was a great place to stay for the week in Door County. Very clean, rustic charm. Property owner was very prompt in her reply’s and was very nice to communicate with. There where no issues with the house or the owner. Would definitely stay there again.

Bother reunion.
A little dated, but clean and nice. Area is a little noisy as the next door resort is being torn down. We probably liked it better than staying next to a resort with a ton of people running around. The property description needs to be updated so it doesn't refer to the resort that is now gone. For our purposes, the property was great and we had a good time.

Beautiful wooded area
The home was old but spacious. The wifi was great, having A/C was great. Being on a quiet secluded road was great. We enjoyed watching the sunset on nearby Pebble Beach and being so close to Al Johnson's for breakfast. We always enjoy our time in Door County.

We came to Door County to celebrate the end of my chemo treatments with some close friends. House was very centrally located just outside Sister Bay and within minutes of Fish Creek. A very quiet neighborhood with several demos of other homes on the street. We enjoyed a fire every night after dinner and was a nice peaceful end to the night. Great restaurants in Sister Bay and good shopping in Fish Creek. I’ve stayed at LOTS of VRBO’s, this one was stocked well for our needs. If there is something special you’d want I’d contact Nissa first. We didn’t need anything additional and had a fantastic time!

Nice location. But. Property needs lots of upgrading and cleaning. Odors. Exterior dirty.
Owner was very responsive. Property lacks a lot of desirability other than the location. We even had to buy our own soap. Major overhaul suggested
