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.

We had such a great stay! This property is so cute, and had all the amenities you need. The beds were comfortable, and the location is very quiet and relaxing. Arica is a very responsive, and all instructions from check in to check out were very clear.

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.

This rental slept 6 adults comfortably. The home was well stocked. Peaceful and relaxing inside and out. We especially, liked the large table for meals and playing games. The sun room was the perfect place to do our puzzle too. We plan to return.

Cozy yet spacious, immaculate - a very warm and inviting space, in a quiet, less traveled, part of the northern Door peninsula.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfortable with plenty of space. A lot of thought went into making this a comfortable home away from home. There were plenty of consumables such as paper products, coffee filters, detergents, shampoos, etc. Additionally items like tea, coffee, various spices, and cooking oils, were also there. I can't say that these are promised items, but had we forgotten something it was thoughtful that they were there. It snowed while we were there and snow removal was great. If it had been summer we could have used either the charcoal or the gas grill. Instead, we enjoyed the fireplace in the living room as well as watching it snow while hanging out in the four-seasons room. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans/silverware/utensils. There were enough of all of these that we didn't have to run the dishwasher after every meal. These aren't the kinds of things that show up in a property description, but they are the kinds of things that make a stay extra comfortable and worry free. It shows someone going above and beyond to create a good experience.
If you are looking for a place in northern Door county we recommend giving this place a look.

Quiet and peaceful, tucked into the woods in Door Co. This home offers you a warm and inviting place to stay. The Kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare meals. The high ceiling invites you into the family room where you can enjoy a nice fire in the fireplace. We really enjoyed the four season room. It has a heated floor and the windows give you a panoramic view of the wooded area around the house. The bedrooms are nice size and the beds are very comfortable. The house was very clean and communication with Arica was Awesome. We would definitely go back!

If you are looking for a peaceful comfortable getaway this rental is perfect. There were only two of us so we did not use the upstairs bedrooms. The master bedroom in main level bed was very comfortable. As is the whole house, fireplace, 4 season room. We were there for nature, snowshoeing, a few dinners and the area and home were perfect for that. Also visited the winter fest in fish creek, great hiking at Newport State Park, took a sleigh ride- it was great! We could have used another few days of it! Thank you to our host who stayed in easy contact- although we had no issues.

Our family has rented this cozy cabin for many years, and we hope to do so for many more. It is extremely well appointed with comfortable couches and beds. The kitchen far exceeds my kitchen at home. This is an exceptional home for any season, but we especially appreciate it during the quiet winter season when we bring out the puzzles and hot chocolate!
5.0
Our second time renting the vacation home and if we could would give 10 stars for owner helpfulness. Very well appointed And comfy kitchen and bird feeders and bed and baths. Any questions we had were answered quickly and effectively by Arica.
Enjoyed our week very much! Thank you Arica!

My family joined me in Door County to celebrate my retirement after 43 years as a physical therapist. There were 6 of us & this property in Ellison Bay provided the perfect getaway. There were 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms with comfortable furnishings. The woodland setting was relaxing & we enjoyed the antics of the squirrels & birds at the feeders. The kitchen was well provisioned with cookware & gadgets & spices which made making a few meals There quite easy. There was plenty of room in the great room with TV & Wi-Fi that worked perfectly.
The house was located a very short walk from the water at Rowley's Bay & very near to Grandma's Swedush Bakery for cardamom coffee cakes for breakfast in the morning.
There was a washer & dryer in the premises which was very convenient. All in all this was a fantastic property & I highly recommend it.

This was the perfect location for our home base during this Door County getaway. We brought our kayaks and found a easy access to the Mink River to paddle on a beautiful September morning. Hope we can return!

We so enjoyed the property in the woods, we saw deer, squirrels, birds and chipmunks.
The cabin in the woods had EVERYTHING in the cabin. The gas fireplace was so wonderful and the bathrooms and bedrooms were so spacious and clean with abundant amenities.
The kitchen had everything that you could require to prepare meals and all of the cookware. The laundry had all the supplies needed.
Such a perfect rustic spacious home!

This house was perfect for our group of 6 adults. Clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed. The location is very secluded in a quiet subdivision. Enjoyed walking to the lake every morning, and having coffee on the back sunken porch. We didn’t meet the owner Arica, but she checked in with us occasionally by email to make sure everything was OK. Had a wonderful getaway, we would definitely stay here again!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with our adult daughters and their significant others at this cabin by Rowley's Bay. The tall trees surrounding the cabin make you feel like you are in the middle of the woods. It was wonderful sleeping with the windows open and hearing the wind blowing through the trees. We walked up to the dock by Rowley's Bay Resort and were fortunate enough to see northern lights. The cabin was clean and well provisioned - we would definitely recommend it!

This was our second time staying here, and we enjoyed it as much as the first. We had four adults and two kids -- three generations. The home is comfortable and had everything we needed to cook meals regularly. We walked 5 minutes to the pier almost daily for fishing. It's a very peaceful location and convenient for exploring places like Sister Bay, Ephraim and Bailey's Harbor. We've already booked for next year.

We--me, my husband, and our four-year-old--had a wonderful time staying at this property in August 2022. The location is terrific. We come to Door County to enjoy the woods and lake, and with Newport State Park less than 15 minutes away, the house was perfectly located for us. It is also an easy drive to Peninsula (Nicolet Beach is great for kids) and some smaller spots we had fun discovering (Ellison Bluff Park and Three Springs Nature trail). If you want to enjoy Door County's small towns, Ellison Bay is very close and so is Sister Bay.
The house itself was extremely comfortable and really well suited to us. It is very, very quiet and peaceful, and we enjoyed walking around the little neighborhood and hanging out on the dock. Indoors, there are lot of small details that set it apart from other properties (in my experience). These include a clean and sensibly stocked kitchen (with no random food from previous tenants!); high-quality blinds and tower fans in the bedrooms; good dressers, closets and hangers so that there's plenty of space to unpack. The deck, living room and sunroom were great places to hang out. Arica Hirsch was a kind and communicative host. We hope to be back!

We loved our stay here. Everything you could possibly need is supplied. The location is perfect. During our stay we had visits from deer, a fox, raccoons and many different types of squirrels. They came right up to the window on the patio! A welcoming fireplace to keep us warm during cooler nights. Although on the “quiet side” we were just a short drive from many great restaurants and shops. The sunroom is awesome we spent a lot of time in there. Minutes away from Lake Michigan. We plan on returning next year.

We loved the cabin. It was very clean and had plenty of amenities. The location was perfect for visiting many cities around Door County. If you stay, make sure to get a cinnamon roll at Rowley’s Bay Resort.

We loved our stay at Carolyn’s place. She couldn’t have been nicer upon check in, and it was so nice to have her show us the ropes. Prior to check in, she was so kind as to send me a great list of things to do with or our school aged kiddos. The house was even better than depicted in the photos. Nestled in a wooded lot in a wonderful neighborhood, you feel secluded, but still have a quiet neighborhood feel when you exit the property. It was so nice to be able to return from the nearby towns to our quiet retreat. We met one of the neighbors who has lived there his entire life, and he was so kind as to give us some local tips. (we visited the Red Putter for mini golf- loved it and we so thankful for his recommendation, as it was one of the highlights for the kids ) Say hello if you run into him!
The house sits right around the corner from Rowley’s Bay Resort ( though there are no crowds or anything to take away from the private feel). We sat on the piers and watched the pelicans and saw 2 bald eagles. You can rent kayaks and whatnot there as well.
Back to the house- The beds were very comfortable- even our kiddos slept well. The living room was warm and inviting, and we played board and card games while watching the multitude of birds at the feeder. The soaking tub was definitely a highlight for our little ones. They thoroughly enjoyed some evening and morning baths while we all sat and enjoyed the wildlife. We had two deer visit while the kids were bathing- what a fun experience. The kitchen is well stocked and plenty of space. We made plenty of meals and even pitted and froze 20 pounds of tart cherries we picked at Lautenbach’s Orchard.
We visited one of the quiet beaches Carolyn recommended at a state park, and it was just what we were looking for. There was another quiet beach with a playground etc. we wished we had time for. There’s an awesome binder of restaurants etc. that has notes, that we found super helpful.
One fun shop we visited in Ephraim in the way back home was the Gem & Rock Shop. We all loved it, but I think my kids loved it most. They were able to select a rock, and crack it open to reveal a beautiful geode. They also did the sluice box mining and the kids were beyond thrilled to walk away with gemstones and fossils they had cleaned on their own.
We loved this house so much and felt right at home. We will definitely return! Thank you for a wonderful first trip to Door County!

This home is just that a home it is decorated and stocked like it is lived in by your friends full time and they are letting you stay there while they are away. My 2 year old loved picking and eating the Thimble berries that grow just off the patio. We loved watching the woodpeckers and humming birds every morning.We had a visit from the biggest woodpecker we have ever seen! The “Secret” beach was wonderful. If this house is available grab it! Carolyn has lots of usable information listed in the manual and she is more than willing to give you more.

The location and cabin were both absolutely perfect. As most do, we lead very busy lives and we just needed a place to escape and we couldn't have asked for a better place. There was literally everything you need and very well organized. Carolyn does a phenomenal job communicating, making you feel welcome, and truly wants you to have a great time. The location was perfect--we saw plenty of wildlife and were in the trees, but could be in a few different towns in about 10-15 minutes. So many great local restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, shopping--you name it you should be able to find it. I seriously can't say enough wonderful things. I did a lot of research and if you are right now--stop, you've found the perfect place!
