Coziest cottage in Fish Creek that allows dogs, has large space to relax, and a beautiful fire pit outdoors! Beautiful setting with privacy. Booked for next year for our 3rd year in a row!

If you are looking for a secluded, cozy cabin in the woods that is also only minutes from everything, this is the place for you! Perfect location to easily explore all that Door County has to offer!

Our stay was excellent. We especially enjoyed the fireplace and the fire pit outside. The location is nice and secluded, but yet closely drivable to everything.

We wanted to love this place and initially we did. But I got a very disturbing call from the owner accusing me falsely of having more guests than we booked. He didn't even ask how many people were there; he simply accused me and asked how I planned to pay for the extra guests. I didn't know what he was talking about. I had initially booked a week for myself and two girlfriends, then modified the booking for my husband to come up with me four days earlier. After my girlfriends arrived (and my husband had left), I got that call. The owner insisted that we had 4 women there, not 3, with my husband still there. Untrue. He insisted he saw 4 women via his Ring Doorbell. He was wrong and I told him so. He said he knew what he saw and that we'd be charged. I told him to look at his camera footage again. I expected to get a call back apologizing for his error. That never happened. To be accused of cheating him and then lying about it really soured our experience, which was unfortunate, because we would have returned next year had this not happened. Except for that (a big minus), there's lots of pluses. It is lovely, well-equipped, with most everything you'd want, except for adequate lighting throughout the house (the only other BIG minus). Everything you need to cook meals, lots of spices, a grill, fire pit, indoor fireplace, big table, nice deck, comfortable furniture and beds, etc. Lots of dropped phone calls, tho, probably bc it is in a wooded area.

We stayed for two weeks. The cottage was clean inside and everything was provided as listed. Daryl was very helpful with our questions and needs. Internet was good. Everything worked in the kitchen and since we cooked and grilled the full size fridge was great. Loved the fire pit! Great location. Parking was plentiful for us and for a few days when our adult children came to join us. It was a great place. Thanks Dary!!

Very quiet secluded location. Some unusual electrical wiring - you plug in or unplug some of the ceiling fixtures to turn them on or off. The house had a stale smell we were able to overcome with use of Febreeze spray for the soft surfaces. Stove worked great! Refrigerator worked great. We had no need for air conditioner or heat because of the weather. Everything was clean, but we still took the owner's recommendation to bleach eating ware and utensils. One of the bathroom light fixtures wasn't working, nor was the upstairs bathroom vent.

Enjoyed our stay. Property was what we expected and fit our budget. Being in the woods and paneled interior makes it a little dark but the appliances were great. A few updates might enhance the property but being pet friendly and reasonably priced were a good fit for us.

Cute little house, perfect size for myself and my adult sons. Super close to everything yet we could come back at night to hunker down and shut out the world. The place was well stocked with common kitchen items.

Third stay at this property. Noted some upgrades made, which were appreciated. Again, we needed to clean out wood stove prior to use. Otherwise, interior clean. Soap dispensers apparently topped off with water to fill, so when used, you basically got a squirt of water. Exterior of home, wood deck specifically, needs work. However, all in all, we again enjoyed our stay and would happily return to this property.

Cute cottage in the woods. We enjoyed the privacy and close location to Fish Creek and the surrounding Door County towns. Very comfortable and cozy place to stay. Everything we needed while we were there was provided. Owners were responsive and easy to work with. We would definitely return!

Peaceful and quiet cabin located in a great location, easily accessible to all Door County has to offer. Easy check-in and check-out. Owner alerted us to issues with wi-fi upon check-in; says it was going in and out. We found it was mostly out, which was a bit frustrating. Another minor complaint was there were a few odd odors (perhaps just from age of cabin? but also an unpleasant sewage smell in bathroom), but nothing that ruined our stay. Appreciated the stocked kitchen and helpful notes throughout the home. Cozy living space and adorable upstairs bedrooms; my younger son wanted to move in!

Comfortable and very casual. Away from the crowds of tourists, but just a short drive to points of interest, shopping, restaurants. Good location to travel up or down the peninsula and across. We enjoyed daily breakfast at the cottage and a light dinner in the evening, by grilling burgers etc.

This was a great cabin for my first visit to Door County. It's perfectly located between Egg Harbor and Fish Creek and there's a ton of wineries and shops in a short driving distance. We didn't use the upstairs bedrooms, but they looked nice. The living room/dining room area was pleasant. I think it would be a bit small for a larger group, though. The bed in the master room was extremely comfortable and aside from some clunking at night from, I think, the water heater, it was nice, quiet, and dark. The kitchen was well stocked with dishware and spices, though the cookware was pretty old... the pans are all Teflon/nonstick and we're really scratched up. I didn't love using those, but it wasn't a huge deal. The kitchen ware all needed to be washed, though. Plates had some residue and we had to scrub one of the spatulas clean before we could use it. I'm guessing this was purely from previous guests, so I'm not really holding it against the hosts (and there is a sign reminding you to wash utensils!). The cabin is located in a little loop off hwy 42. That loop is a nice little walk, but 42 isn't fun to walk or bike next to, so if you're hoping to bike from the cabin to fish creek, it's not ideal for that. If it weren't for this, we'd definitely rent this cabin again! Next time we visit, we'll be looking for a spot we can bike from! The hosts were easy to get ahold of and made check in/check out simple! Thank you for a great stay!

We loved the cottage in Fish Creek! We stayed for a week and the location was perfect for our daily adventures. The cottage has a great fire pit and back deck area to relax in privacy. There is a king bed in the master bedroom which was pretty comfortable. The inside is very clean and there is a lot of space. We booked the cottage for next year for a week already also! We can’t wait for our 2024 trip!

we enjoyed our stay very much; we felt far away from it all with the house being surrounded by trees and nature, yet very close to the main highway to get to the towns to enjoy various parts of the peninsula. we used all 3 bedrooms, the fire pit and the kitchen, which was stocked with the necessities, during our stay. the communication with the owner was excellent.

Great location in a peaceful setting. The Gingerbread Cottage is comfortable and convenient location. The neighborhood road was quiet and easily able to walk my dogs. We saw a fawn walk through the backyard and it was enjoyable watching it. I highly recommended staying here. I hope to come again next year.
