From the moment we arrived, the entire family loved the house - even our teenage grandchildren exclaimed! We were very comfortable as the house has a warm, welcoming feeling. The kids enjoyed the sunroom area and we all enjoyed the living room and the deck for family time. The kitchen was well-appointed and had all the necessities to make meals. The bedrooms were comfortable and we slept well. Also, we appreciated being able to do laundry during our stay. We are hoping that next summer we are able to travel to Door County again and will definitely stay here if we return.

Our family loved our 5-day stay at Arica's house in the woods! The house itself is gorgeous and cozy and so, so cool! The sunroom is amazing - it was especially fun to sit out there one afternoon and listen to the rain on the skylights! The table is nice and big, such a great gathering space for meals and games. And the living room is so cool with the high beamed ceiling. Appreciated all the little touches, like having cozy throw blankets, and the very well stocked kitchen with all the utensils, etc. we needed to make meals. My favorite of all the favorite parts, is the outdoor patio with the table & chairs surrounded by tall trees - it feels like you're a million miles away from everything, and yet it's a super easy drive to everything we wanted to do! Thank you Arica so much for creating such a magical place for a getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay in Door County. We went for a fishing trip and the cabin was very welcoming to come back to. Had all the amenities we needed and enjoyed our stay very much. Cute cabin nestled in a very secluded and wooded neighborhood with great fireplace to sit around and visit with our friends. Wonderful host, very responsive and readily available. Will definitely be coming back!!

What a great house for our needs this particular week. We had plenty of room for all our family of five to enjoy each other and get away from each other as desired. Kitchen has every tool and dish and pan you could want for cooking for a group. Close to the bay and on the quiet side of the Peninsula. Would stay here again if the occasion arose.

Spent 4 days in Door County at this house. We were celebrating our 40th anniversary with our guys friends who were also celebrating their 40th anniversary. The house was well stocked, well decorated, and had all you could ask for in a vacation home. You'd love it.
