There was an issue when we arrived, the manger Emily and assistant manger Bernice resolved the issue right away. We were very impressed on how quickly they handled the situation. This place was tucked away and very quiet for peaceful weekend. This place was clean and had everything we needed.

Birthday present _ Hidden Shores
We loved each detail of the cabin, from the entrance to the woods to the beautiful and peaceful view of Michigan Lake. We arrived on a rainy cold day, but our time there as we celebrated my birthday felt like a unique experience. We enjoyed the simple design of the space, cozy yet truly ample, the modern well-stack kitchen and warm bedrooms made it also a home, the internet worked perfectly, and from the windows, a gorgeous and endless view of trees and waves that turned into a shimmering landscape with the sun. We spent time inside and outside, we kept warm in front of the fireplace having our dinners and family/board games with our teen daughter who loved the stay and hopes to come back to use the kayak and canoe! "Live life simply," the sign said: a perfect birthday gift for body and soul! Thank you again!

Beautiful lakeshore cottage
My wife and I stayed four rainy days at the cottage. The rental is well equipped, particularly for young active families. The lake is just out the back door, there is a large deck for viewing. The lakeshore is rocky but the water looks shallow with a sandy bottom. We enjoyed warm fires in the fireplace. The cottage is a great location forexploring Door County and nearby Weinke's Market is a wonderful place for local produce and preserves. I think a space heater in the three seasons room would be a welcome addition on colder Fall days.

Amazing view and tons of toys!
This property has one of the best lake views we’ve ever had in a rental property. The outdoor furniture to appreciate said view is top notch. There is a lot of privacy too. The main room. kitchen, and bedrooms have been updated. The bathroom has not but it’s adequate. There are so many toys and amenities for all ages. Extra people could easily crash on the 3 season room comfy couches. Even the driveway has been updated with nice concrete, so you are not looking for a grass driveway like all the instructions say. The only draw back is that the expansive rock sea wall makes it almost impossible to reach the water. I asked the management company if there was another way down but did not get a response. Also if you’re looking to work remotely, this probably isn’t the place for you as the Wi-Fi is pretty weak, even causing streaming channels to freeze quite often. Also- the Keurig is broken. In all it was a very relaxing place and we’d definitely stay here again!
