The property and surrounding area was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for for our mini fall vacay. The house was clean, beautifully decorated and in the perfect quiet spot to relax. We had all the amenities we needed at the house as well. We would definitely make our way back to this property next time we are looking to stay in Door county.
We had a fabulous time here, and so did our dog! The cottage was very cozy, clean and had everything you could need for your stay. We really enjoyed being able to come back to a quieter location after a busy day out. The hosts were very responsive and gave great recommendations of things to check out in the area. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone. We are already looking forward to our next stay!
Very clean and relaxing place. We will return.
Great location if you want to be away from the tourist crowd. Quiet, nice area for long walks, very little car traffic. Easy to get to parks, trails, etc.
Many thanks to Joe & Kelly for opening their charming home so we could have the perfect vacation! Their home comes equipped with everything you need and has a lovely screened porch (my favorite!). It’s a short drive to the harbor towns for shopping and dining, and Newport State Park with great hiking and a beach is minutes away. Joe & Kelly were great to work with and we look forward to returning soon.
We loved our stay at Timberline Cottage! It had everything we needed, and was very clean and comfortable. Our kiddos and pups had a great time playing outside, and we loved riding our bikes in the area. The property is peaceful and easy to find. Kelly was a lovely host!
This cabin fully deserves 5 stars. It was the perfect cabin for us and our two boys - great location, perfect size, awesome screened porch, and overall an attractive property. Kelly was amazing - she really sets the standard for best practice when it comes to communication with guests. Kelly went above and beyond to answer our questions about the cabin & area and quickly addressed anything needing attention. Highly recommend!
The property is adorable and stocked with anything you might need; there are even dog dishes and a lead set up and case you forget yours at home. They provide a substantial amount of firewood, which I have never experience in a short term rental. Kelly even reached out to me about fireworks happening in Sister Bay. But the real shining moment happened after our pup got sick and soiled their carpeting. I was mortified, but Kelly was not only helpful in reminding me that we had damage protection but also so understanding. Dog owner, or not, if you prefer the quieter side of Door County, this is the place to stay!
The cabin was exactly what we needed, a quiet escape from the fireworks noise in the city. Other than the Gills Rock fireworks show, only a few pops and whistles. Birds and the wind in the trees were the primary sounds for our visit. The dogs loved the deer visiting us several times too.
Love the location - calm and peaceful. Wonderful accommodations, clean, and well maintained. Kelly was a breeze to communicate with. We’ll be back!
We had such a wonderful and relaxing stay. Kelly was such a great and responsive host. The cottage was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. We’d definitely stay here again!
Cozy cabin with peaceful surroundings, a short distance to restaurants and Door County attractions.
Lovely quiet cottage on the north end of Door County with all the amenities my partner and I needed. The bed and linens were very nice and the communication with the owner was excellent. We would highly recommend this cottage to our family and friends.
Enchanting. Everything you need to enjoy a wonderful stay. Perfectly appointed no detail was missed. Hopefully, future dates will be available to myself, my husband and Eeni our longhaired Dachshund. She gave the home 4 paws up! LS
My son and I had a great visit over Thanksgiving with our dog. Communication was excellent throughout our stay and everything was as described. Kelly went over and above in responding to any questions I had. Would definitely stay again.
The property was nice and clean. Also loved that it was pet and kid friendly! Not far from Sister Bay where there is lots to do. Kelly was excellent and very clear on everything about the property.
The property was perfect for our long weekend in Door County. We loved the combination of modern updates and the original mid-century charm. Everything was clean and the welcoming. The small gift was a happy surprise. The neighborhood was quiet and wooded with lots of deer. It was close to the ferry to Washington Island and easy to get to many of the other highlights of Door County. We’ve already recommended Timberline Cottage to friends.
Class A from start to finish! Beautifully decorated, clean & cozy woodsy cabin with an up-to-date feel. Close enough to Wisconsin Bay Park and the lake, at night we heard the waves hit the shoreline. Owner was almost immediate to reply before during and at the end of our Sat-Tues stay whenever we reached out. A rounded supply of pantry staples like coffee, spices and paper towels was a wonderful perk. WiFi was fast&reliable and a smart TV to pass the evening when the weather didn't cooperate. Rent this location with confidence!
We had a great stay in Gills Rock and enjoyed the peaceful wooded setting. It was very relaxing, but still relatively close to Ellison Bay and Sister Bay.
This well-appointed, welcoming cottage is the perfect home base for a trip to Door County. Tucked away in the woods away from the crowds, but just a short drive away from anything you might want to do, Timberline is clean, comfortable and just the right size for a small family or couple looking to explore the peninsula (or relax and do nothing)--the screened-in porch was our favorite spot for hanging out in the evenings. I appreciate how easy our hosts were to work with, all the local info they shared, and that Timberline is dog-friendly so we could bring our senior pup with us. Would definitely stay here again!
This was our first time to Door County and Timberline Cottage made our experience even more special. Kelly was wonderful! She was timely in responding to our questions before our arrival and she provided some great ideas for us to see and do during our stay. The cottage is convenient to everything and offers an opportunity to just relax and decompress. It is right next door to two other cottages so privacy was minimal, but it did not take away from us having fun. It was very clean and it had everything we needed for our week there. Great memories were made and we will definitely be back! Thank you, Kelly and Joe for sharing your home with us!
We loved the decor and special touches. The hosts provided games, coloring books, bikes, and a welcome gift. We had everything we needed. They provided plenty of towels and extra blankets and pillows. The decor and outdoor lighting was quaint and relaxing. The hosts were easy to reach when we had questions. It was a pleasure to return “home” after busy days sightseeing. We hope to stay again.
