Weekend getaway

We absolutely loved it here. I made a mistake by not contacting them 24 hours in advance like it said in the check in direction. My bad. I called the number listed. They called me back right away, even though they were on vacation themselves. Great owners with quick response. We will definitely stay again anwouldrecommendtanyone

Great stay in great location

Stay was wonderful, clean and comfortable. Would suggest fixing shower, flickering light, timer on fireplace, and curtains on the bay side.

Relaxing in Door County

Are stay at this location was beautiful and relaxing. Being right on the lake, and having amazing view to seeing the stars at night was so breathtaking. The jetted tub in Vrbo was perfect to relax and warm up during such a cold time to stay.

Our favorite waterfront VRBO!

We enjoyed our first winter stay here in our favorite VRBO. The fireplace is lovely to enjoy this time of year and we enjoyed a few meals in, using the kitchen. Many thanks to Gretel and Dan for having such a nice property!!

Still our favorite VRBO!

We have enjoyed staying at this property at least 2 times/year for several years. The location on the water is perfect and the sunsets are stunning. The small kitchen is wonderful for being able to have several means there, and the space works well for just my husband and me. Dan & Gretel are wonderful hosts! I enjoyed taking one of the new see-through paddle-boards out for a try!!

Fantastic location

Location of the property was fantastic. We really appreciated being close to, but also being able to escape the busyness of other areas like Sister Bay. Loved listening to the waves and looking out over the water from the deck.

Wonderful relaxing place to stay

This is a great place to stay! The view is amazing and it is a very relaxing way to spend a getaway. Close enough to walk to Gills Rock. Loved the waterfront and the activities available. You won't be disappointed!

Beautiful inside and out but hope a loud dog doesn't stay next door!

Only issue was the slightly attached neighboring rental left their dog alone and it barked constantly for two or three hours reverberating up a back stairwell into the apartment. Did contact property manager but he couldn't do anything. Took one star off for this. Otherwise had a great stay! Beautiful view and front yard! Would have used the paddle boards or kayaks and fire pit if we had more time without rain. Felt like a safe and quiet neighborhood. Kitchen has the basics for cooking. Did have some salt, pepper, garlic powder and oil at the time of our stay and was enough for a few meals. Bed was comfy. Bathroom was gorgeous. Would stay again and chance neighboring unit having a barky dog.

Beautiful, peaceful get away

Very cozy and comfortable. View is gorgeous and the area is quiet. The condo. is well- appointed and has a very attractive bathroom with Jacuzzi tub. The deck is large and private. We enjoyed our visit very much and plan to return. On a side note: the hot water is scalding hot, so perhaps could be turned down to avoid accidental burn.

Our favorite VRBO, right on the water!!

We love this place for the 2 of us. Beautiful location right on the water in Gills Rock. Small but functional kitchen, so we can eat some meals in. Great bathroom and huge closet. The views are spectacular all day and into the evening! And the sunsets!! Gretel and Dan are amazing hosts and we will return, again and again!

Felt like we hit a home run. Everything was perfect for a romantic getaway. Weather was terrible and we couldn’t have cared less. Didn’t get to use the outdoor amenities provided but it was the perfect space to hang out. Gretel has thought of just about everything. Thanks for a great stay!

Was a great stay, just wish the Wi-Fi was working so we could have done some online looking for places to go and things to do. On a side note AT&T does not have good coverage on that part of the peninsula either.
