Deck + Fire Pit: Waterfront Lake Michigan Escape

The location is great. The view is amazing. The sleeping accommodations were just what we needed. We loved watching the sunrise over the lake. However, the house could use a really deep cleaning. The showers are a bit grimmy, carpet needs to be cleaned, dust along the floorboards, things like that. There are only 3 living room chairs to enjoy TV in the evening. For a house that sleeps 12, it is likely that more than 3 people will be looking for a comfy spot at the end of the day. The water has a strong sulfur odor. The property manager did come over to address this issue and it was somewhat better after that.

We rented this house along with a few friends for the weekend. We had a great time and the house fit our needs perfectly. It had a spacious yard and easy access to the water. It was only a few minutes from beach access and restaurants too. My only complaint is that the water in the house has a strong odor to it. Otherwise, it was wonderful!!

Check in was a breeze, WiFi was easy to access, view was incredible. Algoma is the place to stay to get away from the crowds. It’s an older home and needs updating but everything you need is there.

Great property with spectacular view, but lake access is a bit tricky. We had to maneuver the displaced cinder blocks and climb down the rocks (with smiley faces on the neighbors property). House was well stocked inside, but the shower on main floor was dirty and needed attention. Patio door screen needs replaced and that would help keep the lake flies outside (thankfully they don't seem to bite). Tried to contact the owner via text and app regarding firewood and a stray cat with no response. Outside steps and deck could use some updates to include safety rails. We absolutely enjoyed our time in Wisconsin and with a couple updates, this property would be a gem

Door County was fun and relaxing

This house would benefit from a deep clean, minor repairs & a few upgrades. The screen entry to the house is covered in bugs, old & in need of repair. The living room carpet & furniture is old & a little musty. Although the house has beds for at least ten, the living room has seating for only 3 & the patio table has seating for only 4. The kitchen is adequately stocked. The beds & linens are very comfortable. The yard & lake view are the highlight of this house. The yard is beautifully landscaped & maintained with a lovely lake view. The fire pit is located in a pretty area but there are no seats around the fire pit. My friends & I enjoyed our stay, but this subpar rental could be a real gem with a little maintenance.

Communication for our stay was excellent. The view from the home was relaxing. the home is a little older but nice space and touches. Plenty of supplies to make it easy to cook if you want to stay in. We had a great time listening to the juke box while playing pool!

Beautiful view, tons of space, and the game room was a cool addition to ensure fun no matter the weather! We enjoyed our stay.

Overall great experience. The may flies must have just hatched so besides the bugs it was excellent. The pool table is a little old and the rails don’t really work but the juke box made up for it. Would definitely stay again!

Inside was clean and welcoming. Plenty of windows to enjoy view of Lake Michigan. Felt like home.Exterior needs some upkeep.

The property was really nice, comfortable, kid friendly. We would go back.

Bathrooms and beds are well kept and clean. Everything else was quite dirty. Cobwebs everywhere, dishes in cabinets were dirty and did not appear to be cleaned before put away. Grill was not one in photo and only a single burner worked. Great view, quiet location and game room was a good bonus to the property.

Amazing veiw and the perfect home-base to go out and explore the Algoma/Kewaunee area!

Decent place, water smells like iron. No ac on a hot weekend

Functional home, big bedrooms and plenty of other living spaces for our guests. Great location on the lake and close to town. Loved the cute little town of Algoma and visiting the little shops, “smashed on the rocks” and the winery. Went for a Salmon fishing trip and it was a good location between Algoma boat launch and Kewaunee boat launch. Cute home! We enjoyed our trip.

Great location and home to enjoy Lake Michigan. Very responsive host with good information and recommendations. Loved Red's for our Friday night fish fry.
