Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin
Hi. My name is Martina. I am the owner and day to day manager of Door County Stay, a local company that offers five high quality, five star rated, vacation rental homes in the Baileys Harbor Area of Door County. To complete your rental you will have to sign our e agreement. I have five properties listed and if for some reason one property is not available or suitable, I may propose that you stay at one of my other properties.
Honestly, there are no words to describe just how great this home is. I have stayed many places in Door County and nothing comes close to this property. From the huge perfectly landscaped yard to the clean beautiful house itself. We enjoyed hanging outside on the deck, grilled dinner, and took many pics in the garden. We also enjoyed walking to the Blue Ox and down to Lake Michigan. It was very easy to work with the home owner and she went above and beyond to make sure our time was perfect-from the welcome card & fresh flower on the table to being available for any questions and/or recommendations. Love Love LOVE this place!!!
Words escape me. The wrap around porch and grounds are furnished beautifully. The house is designed to smooth and make you happy. The house and grounds are integrated. Comfort is high. House is well stocked. The owner treats you like a guest. She even furnished a file of door county helps an hints. Best in the Door.
We had a lovely week staying in this home and enjoyed the gardens very much. We stayed for a week while we were working on a home we purchased in Door County that was not move in ready. We left the house on Friday morning before 10 am when the cleaners were to arrive. 5 days later, I received a call from Martina accusing us of breaking a door while we stayed there. She said it was a screen door and the lock was broken and missing a piece, we never have locked a screen door before in any home and we only used the door a couple of times when my husband went out to grill. She later sent us a message through VRBO that we broke the french door. Nothing seemed out of order to us when we used it. If it had, my step dad, (who is a handy man and was staying with us and helping us on our own house construction,) would have fixed it. We had no idea what she was talking about. We offered to come over the next morning (or at any time since we were in Door County for most of the summer) to see what she was refering to and she said that was not possible as there were people staying in the house. We asked her to then send us some photos of what the problem was. She never sent us any pictures and did not contact us again, however, she then charged us $500 for the damage. I'm not sure why you would wait 5 days to notify a guest that there was a problem. Especially when she told us she goes through the house thoroughly with her cleaners and inspects everything with them. She also messaged me that the house was also completely covered in dog hair even though we were told it was a non shedding dog, very disappointing.. I wrote in my message when we booked the house that we had a golden doodle we would be bringing with us, not that we had a non shedding dog. We paid an extra dog fee in addition to the cleaning fee and linen fee. If you don't want dogs staying in your house that's fine, change your listing. It appears in the reviews that another group who had dogs with them was also charged an additional $500 for cleaning. I wish I had read that beforehand, live and learn. We dispute these charges and won't be recommending this host for their lack of communication and follow up to resolve an issue they accused us of unjustly.
Our family spent a week at this property and loved it. The home is clean and airy. The grounds are beautiful. It is walking distance to anywhere in downtown Bailey's Harbor. Overall our trip was a great experience made possible by a great property.
Was lovely. Wish I had met Martina.
The landscape is incredible. Our kids loved running in the yard and swinging on the tire swing. The beds are super comfortable and there’s so much space to relax after a long day hiking and biking.
This is a beautiful property. The lovely home integrates perfectly with nature - the garden is an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10 and the house is lovely inside and also has exactly the right covered porch to connect with nature. We loved it - even on a rainy day. just a block or so to a bunch of restaurants and bars, and peaceful here at the house. The owner, Martina, is very professional and responsive. Looking forward to a future visit.
You will not be disappointed if you rent this property. The garden is lovely and there is ample space to play in the grass. There is plenty of comfortable seating to hang out as a family both inside and outside on the porch. There is a large table to eat at inside and a table on the patio where you can eat outside and enjoy the weather. It is easy walking to restaurants in Bailey’s Harbor and a short drive to many other Door County attractions. Only watchout is that in the current environment with COVID-19, not all local restaurants are open or do takeout in the first half of the week. But that is easily remedied if you cook for yourself - kitchen is large and has everything you need.
Never in my family’s 30+ years of owning, renting and vacationing in Door County have we ever experienced such blatant swindling by a property owner. Due to recent water damage to our North Bay home, we thought we were fortunate to find availability and stay at Carriag Mor for the week. The property is in a good location in downtown Baileys Harbor and has a beautiful backyard. The home is in good condition, despite the worn wooden floors and outdated appliances. As advertised, we were allowed to have small children and pets during our stay. We received detailed instructions from the home owner on how to properly use the home throughout our stay, as well as instructions on how to prep the house upon our departure. We spent the week at Carraig Mor with another couple, a toddler and two medium sized dogs. It was a very enjoyable week with friends and family. When the week came to an end, it was bittersweet as we prepared the house for next week’s visitors. All departure instructions were followed and we all left the property on time. We were instructed that a cleaning service is provided, in addition to our cleanup, to prepare the house for other renters. To our shock and disappointment, we were immediately notified that our security deposit would not be returned due to clean up of dog hair - only dog hair as damages nothing else. Specifically siting 22 man hours worth of cleaning during “tough times” as the damages rationale. This news was disheartening especially since we cleaned the house before departing and paid a steep daily rate in dog fees, AND a cleaning fee, AND a linens fee. If there was an issue with the property having dog hair, it should have not been advertised as dog friendly, and they should not have taken our money for the daily dog fees and the money from the security deposit. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage, but knowing what we know now about the property owner’s customer service and lack of transparency, we will never stay at this property or any other of their properties again.
The house was beautiful and clean. Had everything we needed and was within walking distance to many great places but still quiet.
