This is a no frills rental. The refrigerator and range were older than me (over 55…..). Hence no photos of the kitchen I guess…..the spiral staircase was scary and wobbly. Thankfully there was only 2 of us so we didn’t need to use. Downstairs is its own suite. Having to take your own towels (bath and hand towels….) with was annoying. Means more laundry to do when you get home! There is no washer/dryer or dishwasher at the house. However, on the plus side, the yard was perfect for groups or families. Safe, huge, fire pit etc. and the house location was perfect for exploring Door County. Egg Harbor IS easily walkable, but don’t recommend walking back to the house in the dark.
Four dear friends stayed together here for our annual girlfriend weekend, and we absolutely loved our stay! We looked forward to starting our mornings with a casual breakfast, and returning at the end of activity filled days. The rooms were comfy cozy and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you’d need to prepare a meal. The beds were very comfortable and with two bathrooms, one with a shower/bath, this home was perfect for us! Rich and Emily, the hosts/owners of this home couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating. They shared lots of information about the fab events going on during our stay, and provided lots of printed material about the area in the shared spaces of the home. We were never at a loss of what to do during our stay, and we would have loved to stay even longer - next time! They were 5-star hosts, and we’d love to return someday soon. It’s also very conveniently located to everything you’ll want to do in Egg Harbor and the other areas of Door County. Thank you Rich and Emily! We loved it here and so will you!
Overall the property itself felt like country.. just what my mom and I wanted. Quiet and not a lot of thru traffic or noise. The house was ok for the most part, it was clean but dated. It could use a little updating, especially the carpet upstairs. When I booked the property I did not realize there was a spiral staircase to the kitchen, shower and main quarters which made things a little tough, especially for my 76 year old mom. However, the wide staircase outside and a a nice big deck that led to the upstairs made it easier to navigate. Rich, the host was fantastic. I really appreciated all the Door county maps and information that was available at the house. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
We loved our stay at Rich and Emily's. If you're unfamiliar with Door County (as we were), we found that Egg Harbor is a great place to stay, since it's pretty centrally-located and makes getting to the other towns easy.
This is our second time staying here. We love this property. Plenty of room for our family of four. Short walk to the shops and restaurants in Egg Harbor.
met all our needs the location was perfect, would do it again
My wife and I are older and found the spiral staircase hard to climb with the kitchen ,dining room , and shower upstairs.
Nice quiet property, enjoyed our stay very much.
We like this property because, your actual only minutes away from the downtown, you feel like you’re in country settings. If your looking for all the amenities, this may not be for you. If you want to retreat after a busy day and watch deer and birds this is the place. We loved the fire pit.
Great people,fantastic place,wonderful time for family!!!!!!!
We had a very nice experience. The owners communicated well and were quick to respond to questions and assistance. We liked the house. There were just two of us for the stay. Nice short walk to downtown Egg Harbor!
Great stay and host
Very clean, spacious home. Property listing very accurate. Great location. Owners very helpful and great to work with
Very much a Wisconsin cottage. Nice large yard. Easy access and off the main road. Beautiful fall colours in Door county. Met the Al Johnson family again. I was one of the Swedish waitresses at Al's in the 70's.
Host was friendly and especially helpful in giving us information about the many attractions in Door County, even including a beautiful sunset!
Quiet home just across the road from “downtown” Egg Harbor. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Owners are very friendly and interested in ensuring a good visit.
My adult son and myself were there for 3 nights with our goal to fish all 3 days on Lake Michigan. They had a U shaped driveway which made it easy to park the boat and rehook. The unit nicely accommodates 2 people or Parents and children or 2 couples as it has 2 levels with complete living areas in the top level and 2 beds and a living room on the lower level.. Rich and Emily checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. A great value for the price.
The Farmette has a great location but no frills. The house is secluded yet close to downtown. There is also a lot of space on the property, with the 2 levels being nice. The home is not updated, and the age of items and decorations causes the house to feel less clean. They do not provide towels, and are very strict on the 10am check out time. This caused us to have to wake our napping baby to vacate when they came to clean. Overall we did not feel as if we got good value for our money, but groups who value the location above amenities may disagree.
We really enjoyed our stay at Woldt’s. It was clear our hosts know and love Door County. Everything was as described and our hosts were good at communicating. It was a great spot for our small family!
There were no instructions prior to arrival for check in. The air conditioning is a window unit upstairs and no air conditioning in the lower level. The host told us to keep the blinds closed and the temperature would cool down at night. When we asked about the description on VRBO that said ‘air conditioning’ the host responded “what do you want me to do” and would 50.00 fix it. We didn’t want money or a free nights stay we wanted the air conditioning that was implied. That doesn’t help in 90 degree weather. Host did not indicate that the 4th of July parade would be staged on the street in front of the cottage. The host used the cottage’s lawn furniture and set up coolers and seating for the parade participants in the front yard. We were told if we want to get our car out of the driveway to leave the cottage by 9:30am before the parade started at 1:30. There were no checkout instructions nor a home binder with Wi-Fi and general instructions for the cottage. We will not rent this property again.
We loved sitting out on the deck, the fire pit, and family walks to town.
It was a great place to stay to explore the county, with very friendly hosts that have us great advice on things to do!
Property owners were very attentive and helpful regarding local attractions etc.
