This beautiful house is in an excellent location with a 5 minute walk to downtown Sister Bay. It was exceptionally clean and well stocked with essentials. The quiet location allowed us to drink our morning coffee while listening to the birds. One of the best VRBO's we've ever stayed at. We will definitely be staying here again. We highly recommend this home.

Excellent property in great location

This place was perfect for us. Only a block from the main street of Sister Bay, and it was clean and comfortable. We had a minor problem at check in but the owner quickly responded and the rest of the trip was perfect. Big thumbs up.

Celebrating the 4th in Sister Bay

My family and look forward all year to our stay at this property. The owners think of everything, label everything and generally make our week-long stay a no-brainer. Fantastic location a mere half-block from the main drag through downtown Sister Bay. It’s perfect!

The house was amazing. Lot of updates and old world charm. Very clean and hosts very thoughtful they left an apple pie for us to enjoy. Also, very easy access to Sister Bay downtown so you can walk to places. We'd stay again.

Repeat visit - better each time!

This is our third time staying here with our family, it's starting to become a tradition with the kids. As in the past, everything was perfect and comfortable. The house is great for kids and even larger groups. The location is perfect, a 5 min walk to the main street in Sister Bay and has everything you need for a multi-day visit. The hosts are so thoughtful and welcoming and we really feel like we're at home when we stay here. Will absolutely book again and look forward to doing so!

Great girls getaway

Fantastic property walking distance to Sister Bay. The property has every comfort of your own home and is decorated beautifully. With several areas to entertain, rock on the porch and even have a grillout and cozy fire in the wonderfully lanscaped back yard. Stayed here for a girls getaway, the owners even left us fantastic local coffee, cute pink cherry mugs and delicious baked goods. Will be returning for sure!

Opening the Door to Door County

From the moment we opened the door, we knew we were going to enjoy our stay. The description of the property and the associated positive reviews met and exceeded our expectations. This cozy property was just a short distance from main street and was ideal for our generational family of six. It was well accessorized even down to the toys and yard games for the kids. Sister Bay was a pleasurable place to visit and staying here made it even more memorable.

Peaceful house a short walk from Sister Bay Beach

Our family really enjoyed our stay in this lovely and very clean house. Dennis and Joan are amazing hosts! We enjoyed the activity of Sister Bay and the peacefulness of the house and yard; it’s rather amazing the two are separated by only a short walk. One favorite activity was sitting on the front porch watching a monarch flutter through the milkweed while our kids played games in the yard.
