Ellison Bay, Wisconsin
If you're looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway, then you've found it at The Goddess Door Family Home, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! This home is located on a quiet 5 acre piece of property on a cul-de-sac.The yard has several seating areas, and room to run. The house is on the north side of Ellison Bay, close to many activities, and a good home base for exploring all the county has to offer. This home was built by the current owner's father, who was a skilled carpenter. He handcrafted the kitchen cabinets from cherrywood and made the stained glass windows in the three season porch. He remodeled and maintained it with love. There are many small touches in the home that reflect the family's Door County history, such as the kitchen table that belonged to the owner's grandparents where many family memories were made. You will also find art from local artists, and touches of the Clearing throughout the house.
**This property is located in a quiet community with neighbors and is geared towards quiet family vacations. Due to the proximity of neighbors, we cannot accommodate parties at the property including bachelor or bachelorette parties, reunions, or other rowdy gatherings.

We enjoyed staying here for the long MDW weekend! The house is beautiful and spacious and the perfect location relative to most of what Door County has to offer. We enjoyed this property and spending our time in Door County. Our only suggestion would be to have another TV in the primary bedroom; we enjoy winding our nights with a TV show. We would definitely consider coming back to this property with a larger group next time.
Overall, we had a great stay. The location was perfect. When we were at the house, we spent most of our time in the kitchen. If we stayed here again, it would just be the two of us, because of the sizes of the beds and layout of the bedrooms.
Another fabulous stay at the Goddess Door! We have been coming to Door County with our children for over a decade, and this is hands-down our favorite property to stay at. The location is fabulous and the property itself is charming and perfect. Thanks for another wonderful stay!
The house was clean and tidy. Everything worked as expected
The house was cozy and on a beautiful property. Loved the wind chimes as we drove in the driveway. The stained glass around the home is very pretty. The main issue we had was the listing called out two full bathrooms which we assumed included a shower in each, but the house only has 1 shower in the primary bath. The second bath has only a tub. The single shower was clogged and water was not draining properly, so that we had to wait to use it so it could drain between uses, and taking a shower was unpleasant standing in a tub full of water. We informed the host of the issue and heard back that someone may be coming to fix it, but the host did not communicate a follow up message to let us know if the issue was fixed during our stay. Other than that, a few fans might help keep the place cooler when using the window AC - without fans, the cooling had a hard time making it to the primary bedroom in the back, and the guests staying in the smaller bedrooms were too cold. Thankfully the second night was cooler and we could turn off the AC and open the windows
The house was very nice we loved the kitchen. When we reached out the response was very fast. It’s in a very good location to get to sister bay or ride the ferry to Washington island. Lots a places to hike near by. The only thing I have an issue with was the third bed room being open to the hallway and the living room with out reading all of the property details I did not catch that at first but it still was a great place to stay and would stay again if in the area. Thank you for letting us stay! We had a great time!
It was pleasant and the bed where comfortable
The house was beautiful. The bushes by the main entrance can be trimmed. The bedrooms could use a fan. We enjoyed our trip thoroughly. Thanks for the host!!!
Very clean and well stocked, except for no gas in the outdoor grill. Broiled steaks instead, which were delicious.
We recently had a wonderful family getaway at this beautiful property. The property is beautiful, so much outdoor space, plus nice house decor and spacious rooms. The location is perfect and we appreciated the newly renovated kitchen and appliances. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing stay in a perfect setting and location. We look forward to returning in the future!
As we prepared to leave we noticed that there was a wet load of clothes in the washer? You need a drain plug that fits in the tub, we used a rag to get by. The plant life could use a trimming. Overall a nice place.
The property was beautiful and well maintained. Watching deer come and go. Everything inside was clean, we loved the woodwork and kitchen. Couple things i would change, make at least one of the toilets' a high rise, smaller bedroom could definitely use a new mattress and maybe some new bedding throughout including pillows. would be nice if the kitchen had a Keurig. We enjoyed our stay and all wished it could have been longer.
Beautiful, quiet, tranquil, clean, nice, felt like I was from people, but 15 minutes to Washington Island Ferry and all the restaurants in Sister Bay etc... lots of deer in yard!!
Home was amazing. The property was perfectly secluded. Beautiful kitchen. Bed was comfortable. Clean.
The property the house sits on is beautiful and natural with old growth trees and 5 acres of lovelyDoor County land. It is on a quiet dead end road. The house itself is adequate tho quirky with one bathroom off the kitchen far from the bedrooms and the other in the larger bedroom. It was great to have the window air conditioning unit in the living room which helped to cool the bedrooms as well. Air conditioning is unusual in older homes in door County. The freezer ice machine did not work and there was no container to freeze ice cubes so that was disappointing. Overall the location was convenient to Ellison Bay, Gills Rock and Sister Bay. We enjoyed dinner at the Boathouse overlooking the Marina in Sister Bay and stopped frequently at Kick Ash coffeehouse in Ellison Bay for a coffee.
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We've been coming to Door County for many years, and this is by far our favorite property. The location is ideal, and very quiet and private. We are a family of 6, and we really enjoyed the large outdoor space. The fire pit is lovely, and the kitchen was perfect. We also really liked the small aesthetic touches like the stained glass windows. We really couldn't have had a lovlier stay, and are looking forward to booking this property again next year. Thank you!
We enjoyed staying in a neighborhood a little off the beaten path yet minutes from downtown Sister Bay. The property offers privacy, the home is super clean and offers plenty of space for a family to relax and share meals.
A little out of the way, but nothing is too far in door county, so was fine. Nice clean home
Best place to stay in door county by far
Brought our teenage grandchildren with us. We all enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The home is very comfortable and outside surroundings beautiful! We played card games at the kitchen table and made our meals in the very spacious and beautiful kitchen. Sleeping arrangements are perfect and we all slept great. On this trip we went to: Charlie’s Smokehouse and the shops at Gills Rock, Kick Ash Coffee in Ellison Bay, Door County Creamery and go-karts at Johnsons Park in Sister Bay, Skyway Drive-in Theater in Fish Creek and Cave Point County Park in Sturgeon Bay. We will be back!
