About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Welcome to your own private getaway!

Set back in a quiet wooded area but within walking distance of Pebble Beach and some of the most beautiful views in the area. There's enough space for everyone. Enjoy the relaxation of it all and feel the stress of real life fall away. This place is perfect to just get away from it all. Let us know if you need anything and welcome to the best part of Sister Bay!!

A little history about the property-
My ancestors built little sister resort (was next door) when they settled the area and when my grandparents sold that they built this house in 74. I actually lived in it from 9-16 too. The resort ended up buying it and renting it out for 20+ years. When the resort sold, they broke off some of the side properties including this one. My husband and I jumped at the chance to own what used to be family property.

Any questions then feel free to ask!

We loved the location and I appreciated response time and communication. The fire-pit area was great and well equipped. My only negative was the overall cleanliness of the property. Windows were dirty, corners had many spiderweb buildups light fixtures were dusty etc. Except for that concern, it was a great place

The house was comfortable, although we did have issues with a few things. The showerheads are not at all comfortable. Replacement should be considered. The Wi-Fi was nonexistent, which did create problems occasionally. The kitchen is not very well stocked, but we managed. We were not expecting to have to deal with the dampness in the house. We had to empty a portable dehumidifier multiple times a day. The dining room chairs were much too low and uncomfortable. The beds were very comfortable and the house generally was very clean. The owner should consider doing more to keep the outside cleaned up a little bit.

Family annual fishing trip

Every year for the last 8 years, my family and I have been coming up to Door County for our annual family fishing trip. It is extremely difficult to find a location up here with adequate parking for 2 boats and trailers as well as accomodating 6 adults. This place truly exceeded our expectations and has become one of our favorite places to stay up here. The location is prime, the house is extremely accomodating and comfortable, and you are just steps from the water! In addition, Nissa was by far the most responsive host I have stayed with, which was really appreciated. We definitely look forward to coming back in future years. Thanks again for a great stay Nissa!

Disappointed

Not clean and dead bugs everywhere. No hangers in the closets. Not very well equipped kitchen, and we had to clean the stovetop before use. Kitchen sink was also not clean with shredded lettuce in the drain.

High School Friends Grad- 1971

The house is set in a very quiet neighborhood. The front yard has a partial view of Sister Bay while we say at the bistro table and chairs. All their beds and furniture were clean and comfortable. The inside of the house had a little musty smell. It did dissipate after we turned on the Air Conditioning.

Nice property, excellent location

Nissa is a super host. She was available and attentive to our needs. The only hiccup occurred when, with our extended stay (11 days) and having a couple of old friends stay three nights, we ran short of toilet paper. I notified Nissa of the need, but we had to provide for our shortage. I wonder if there is a VRBO rule that doesn't allow the host to come and interact with the guests? If so, it's a rule that needs to change. We had a wonderful stay. The house is older ('70s), but is in good condition and provided us with the space and location we needed for our vacation.

Sister Bay Surprise

The home had not been cleaned before we got there! The countertop and stove top were dusty and greasy. The kitchen sink had food particles and coffee grounds in the strainers. The windows and patio doors were full of mildew and spider webs, and we killed at least a dozen spiders in the first couple of days. If the place had been cleaned prior to our arrival, we would not have had any complaints. We left the place cleaner than we found it!!

Nice clean house. Older but that's OK. Location is good. Lots of trees around the property/area so there will are bugs and spiders outside, but also deer. Only issue was the grill outside didn't get hot enough to cook a brat. All in all, happy with the place.
