Cottage is even more beautiful in person than it is in the pictures, and WOW, the view of the bay is spectacular! We had everything we needed and were so cozy for our winter visit. The hot tub wasn’t available to use (it’s positioned close to the beach and would be too frozen, it’s actually noted on the listing but we missed it before booking), but there were so many other things to do we didn’t mind. There’s a fantastic game room (shared with the other rental unit) with a pool table and a big collection of board games where we spent a lot of time. There’s also a private sauna, inside the unit we stayed in, great for warming up after a winter hike. Bed and couch were both soft and comfy, there are a lot of nice little hangout areas all over the house. The bathroom was also one of the best bathrooms I’ve seen in a vacation rental, with a huuuuge shower! It is worth noting that the stairs to the loft, where both beds are, are very steep and those with mobility issues may struggle. The location is also far north on the peninsula, so prepare to drive plenty. We had a stunning view of the stars at night though and lots of peace and quiet, exactly what we wanted! Recommend checking out Hügel Haus, it’s under 10 minutes drive from the house, and Al Johnson’s in Sister Bay is not too much further than that. Gretel and Dan were great hosts, communication was easy and they were so kind and accommodating! We were sad to go home, can’t wait to come back soon!

Great getaway for Christmas. LOVED the sauna , was hoping to use the hot tub on the water too, but must only be open in summer - will have to come back to try it! We cooked a lot and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed! The patio and bonfire pit were awesome. Amazing views- beautiful rocky beach. Our dog loved the yard, beach, and nearby parks !

We had a wonderful time at this cabin! The location is great, and we look forward to coming back when the hot tub is available for use, as we learned it is closed down for the season. It's a charming space and the view cannot be beat! There are skylights in the bedroom and larger living space, so bring a sleep mask if you are light sensitive. The cabin was clean and comfortable, and the addition of some blankets on the couch would make it even cozier in cooler weather. We look forward to coming back with friends so that we can share the two adjoining properties and meet up to play pool in the space between both properties.

Perfect lakefront getaway. Owners are super nice and responsive at any time. Everything from kitchen utensils to towels and sheets provided. Location can't be beat. Will for sure stay there again.

We recently stayed here for a long weekend. Everything was as advertised. The location is quiet and RIGHT ON THE WATER. We will go back for sure. Dan, the owner, stopped by to help us with the wifi as he lives just a few doors down. Highly recommend this property!

My normal spot was booked so I took a chance on this property and it was amazing. The view is wonderful and the hot tub and sauna added extra perks. The location was quiet but still close to everything. It was a great find.

Everything about our stay was flawless! From the paradise-like setting and amazing view to the remote-but-easily-accessible location. The bed was as comfortable as our own at home and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook and eat in a few times. We greatly enjoyed soaking in the hot tub twice a day at the water’s edge, in fact we caught some beautiful sunsets from there! It was fun watching the boats and ships go by while we relaxed on the patio. The game room is very nice and we played a few games of pool. It was a short walk to the Shoreline restaurant and Charlie’s Smokhouse and a few gift shops with extremely welcoming owners. Even though Sister Bay is only 10 minutes away, we felt at all times like we were really “off the beaten path”. The stairway up to the loft is somewhat narrow and steep but it wasn’t a problem for us. Our trip was amazing and we would definitely stay here again!

The property was just outstanding!!! From the hot tub at the lakes edge, to the hammock. We would have been happy without ever leaving, but there is just so much to see and do all within 20 minutes. From sunset cruise to just sharing a bottle of wine at the restaurant that is maybe a 2 minute drive. We will definitely be returning, and will be staying here again.
