About this property

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!

Worked well for us

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.

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.

This is the second time we have stayed at Nissa's place and it never disappoints! The location is so good. The price is affordable. The host is extremely responsive. And the home is very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return in the future for trips! Thanks for everything Nissa!

Beautiful wooded area

The home was old but spacious. The wifi was great, having A/C was great. Being on a quiet secluded road was great. We enjoyed watching the sunset on nearby Pebble Beach and being so close to Al Johnson's for breakfast. We always enjoy our time in Door County.

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
