    It is a nice place to stay, A few kitchen gadgets we had to run to the store for. But everything was neat, clean, and host was very nice. Answered my messages, just hoped he would have answered them sooner. It is very hot in there at night but other than that it was a good place to stay.

    This was by far the easiest stay we've ever had! No tricky locks/codes; no crazy rules; and no neighbors to worry about. The pictures don't do it justice. Yes, the pit set has seen better days, and the patio set is plastic-but the bed was incredibly comfortable, the dining table and chairs were like new, the shower/bathrooms were sparkling clean, and the huge TV's actually worked! The surrounding natural wooded area was a delight for this plant lover, with the extra touch of newly planted flowers in every flower-box. It truly is an adorable gingerbread house! Door County rarely disappoints-bonus-perfect weather all week !

    The cottage was immaculate and inviting inside. One thing was we couldn’t get the WiFi to work. I would certainly love to go back as the property was dog friendly as well. Nice stay and great location in Door County.

    Wonderful cottage, everything as expected. Nice and warm too, even without the fireplace (which we loved using) the heat was doing a good job in sub zero temps. Clean, organized, charming touches, very cozy. Location is hard to beat. Great place to stay in Door County.

    We really really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect and very peaceful. There was plenty of room, fast internet and the cabin had almost everything we needed! It would have improved our stay if there would be some sort of option for laundry (even a mini washer and dryer) and the couch seems to be on its last leg. Overall we enjoyed our stay and appreciate the place to enjoy a weekend getaway!

    We always enjoy our trips to the gingerbread cottage. Sitting by the fire pit as the sun sets is the best. Darryl always has lots of chopped logs ready to use. Close but not too close to the bustle of Fish Creek.

    9 days in the lovely remote cottage that has gotten upgrades each year we visit! This was our 3rd year at this cottage and we absolutely love the privacy, firepit, king size bed, 2 bathrooms, dogs are allowed (we have 2 corgis), and close to our favorite town of Fish Creek but also close to most towns as well!

    There were 3 adults and 2 teenagers, and the house was just right. The teens had their own space upstairs and were comfortable, even though their room didn't have air conditioning. I stayed in the other upstairs bedroom (that did have AC). The beds were impressively comfortable. The upstairs bathroom was very small, but workable. Other rooms were all nice sized. The house was spic-n-span when we arrived. It's located off the highway on a very quiet circle. A perfect spot for afternoon walks, and just a couple of minutes from either Egg Harbor or Fish Creek. There was a family of deer that visited us a few times during our week-long stay. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a quiet country location with very easy access to shopping and dining.

    For our group this is between our 3rd and 6th trip to Door County. Everyone agreed this was our best overall rental. It is very central to everything. In fact one day we were gone for 10 hours to 7 different places and were never more than 5 minutes away from the cabin. Having 2 bathrooms was very helpful and the kitchen was fully equipped. The cabin is in the woods and secluded, but just off the highway.

    This is a quirky little cabin with nice wood ceilings, the kitchen was well stocked, in a nice wooded area. There is no dishwasher, and bath towels are not provided. The place seems to not be professionally cleaned, with dust and cobwebs throughout. The whole place has a very strong old smell and is very dark. There is no AC in the main bedroom. The front parking area is only dirt/gravel, and so our car got very dirty just getting in and out. The host has a ring doorbell above the front door, and is monitoring all the coming and going from the cabin, FYI. My kids last minute were able to join us, and I contacted the host to add more people and he was difficult to deal with. He accused me of having even more people than I was telling him. I would not stay there again.

    This is a great property and my family enjoyed staying here. It is very close to Fish Creek shopping and restaurants, but in a very private setting. It definitely has plenty to offer and the host is very nice. The only reasons I wouldn't give it five stars are because there are some inconveniences such as you have to bring your own bathroom towels and there is no AC in the master bedroom.

    This property has a vintage, 70s throwback feel but is clean and well-maintained. Location is great and outdoor area was lovely for summer evenings.Our only issue was we stayed during an abnormally warm weekend (upper 80s) and the AC does not reach the room with bunk beds at all. This has been communicated to the host and will hopefully be resolved. Otherwise, we had a great stay as a party of 7 adults, 1 toddler, and 1 dog. Cottage is on the smaller side for square footage but we didn't feel cramped at all! Recommend but be cautious in the summer pending AC resolution. Would stay again!

    Nice, rustic cabin style house in a very wooded area. Perfect location to feel like you’re camping, but with the luxuries of home. We enjoyed the perks like the deck for enjoying the evening air, grilling on the grill and Roku for movie nights. The lighting could be improved, it is very dark in areas. It also could have been cleaned a little better before our arrival. We also found the AC to be hard to work and we’re not sure it was functioning. But the temperatures ended up not requiring it. All in all, an enjoyable stay. Be aware the owners are close by and watching the property.

    We stayed 4 nights. The house was relatively clean with a couple of spiders to keep us company. There were deer in the back. Neighbors were quiet. We were able to take the dogs, which is a plus for us as not many places will allow dogs. We had to provide our own bath towels but not a big deal. Nice place. Close to the activities we wanted to do.

    Very old, woodsy, but dusty/dirty with cobwebs. We were disappointed with the lack of care. Even tho we went to a pet friendly site and stated we were including our dog, we were charged an additional 20 per day! There is much potential, but needs a thorough cleaning. The view outside could be lovely, but needs cleanup.
