    We had a great experience at KipDee cottage! The house has everything you need, including a full kitchen and a ping pong table.We brought a group of 6 adults and had enough room for everyone. You can definitely fit more people in the house, but it might be tough to gather around a table all together. There are lots of seating and lounging options all around the house for group of 2-4.We would definitely stay again! Thanks for a great experience.

    Beautiful, charming property. It was very clean. We loved the front porch. It's about a mile from downtown Sister Bay. We did not realize how far the garage loft was from the rest of the house when we booked, which was awkward for bathroom/shower use. I recommend this property for a single family due to the garage situation and size of tables for dining together. Grill is a blackstone if you are planning a cookout.

    This place was perfect for our group of 7! 2 adults and kids ranging from 15-20. The loft above the garage was perfect for all of the kids to stay. Both the house and the loft were clean, fully stocked and decorated so cute! We used the bikes, kayaks and firepit that were provided. There’s a lovely lookout point and ice cream shop just steps from the house and downtown Sister Bay is just a few minute drive. We loved just about everything from our stay and will likely be booking here again!

    We love this place! Stayed for a long weekend with our two children (10 & 12), brother and sister-in law. This cottage has everything you need to make you feel like home. You can tell the owners are quite proud and take great care of this property. Bedroom are cozy and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. The location is perfect! The Fall colors this time of year were amazing! We enjoyed shopping the towns, bowling at Sister Bay Bowl, exceptional meals at Welcker’s Lounge in Fish Creek, Boathouse on the Bay in Sister Bay, Wilson’s in Ephraim and of course Al Johnson’s. It’s a short drive to the Washington Island Ferry and we highly recommend renting a UTV to tour the Island. We are very grateful for the time well spent in Door County and can’t wait to return.

    We had a mostly adult holiday but invited daughter w kids to spend one night in loft. It worked out perfectly. We had a great time sightseeing and hanging out at the house. We used the fire pit, ping pong table and bikes.

    Murphy’s KipDee home and gardens were delightful and welcoming. We found it to be very clean and beautifully decorated. The beds in the house are very comfortable. We didn’t use the clever bunkhouse annex. We enjoyed reading about the earlier owners. If you stay here, you will not be disappointed! We hope to return !

    Great spot for a family vacation. The loft above the garage is great if extra room is needed. We enjoyed being close to Door County Ice Cream Factory and were able to take advantage of the shuttle from the ice cream shop to downtown Sister Bay.

    Very nice, older home. Plenty big for 5 person family. Kids loved the loft above the garage. Parents loved the 4 season back porch. Ice cream shop 100 yards away. Easy access to town. Beautiful yard and lots of sitting/gathering areas. 2 showers and a large kitchen for a home of its age. Ping Pong and games in lower level of finished garage. Really couldn't ask for much more.

    We stayed here for a second time. It is a very pleasant home-away-from home place to stay. We were able to enjoy many activities in Door County, including ice cream, the beach and Wild Tomato pizza in Sister Bay.
