The owner went over and above to make us feel welcome and enjoy our stay! From allowing an early arrival to the treats and constant communication, we felt very well taken care of! Beautiful and peaceful spot to enjoy the lake and surrounding area. Great home and abundant space!! Thank you very much!!

Great place. Great beach views. Unique interiors. Friendly landlord.
The location can't be beat with a sand beach in your backyard. House was great, comfortable beds, rustic decor, and everything you need for this to be an amazing stay!
This house was in an ideal location for our group - right on the water with a sand beach. We enjoyed our stay and would stay at this location again if we are in the area
The Lily Bay Lodge was wonderful- the house is great, beds super comfy. And the location was amazing - so many stars in the clear night sky and we loved drifting off to sleep to the sound of the waves. Host was very responsive to all our questions and needs and gave a great suggestion for local live music!
We couldn't have been happier with the location, the house and the owner. Our visit to Door County was absolutely perfect. You are right on the sandy beach and the sunrises were amazing everyday. Thanks for the wonderful vacation.
Beautiful house and property with absolutely stunning views of Lake Michigan! I was the exact restful getaway we were looking for and our dog was also delighted to be there due to the fenced in back yard and the wide open beach to explore either direction. If you are looking for a true, quiet, gorgeous getaway, this is the perfect house and location.
We enjoyed our stay at Lily Bay! The house was clean and comfortable. The homeowner was amazing, shared information about the property and all that Door County had to offer. We felt at home and will be looking forward to staying again.
We had a wonderful stay at Lily Bay Lodge. The location was spectacular with incredible views and access to Lake Michigan. The home was in wonderful condition. It was very clean and well equipped for the 3 adult couples that made up our group. We wouldn't change a thing and are already discussing possible dates for a visit back next year!
Great place for our family of 6. Pelicans on the lake were a bonus as well as the piano! Beds were comfy. Beach was beautiful and very private. Plenty of places to relax. Wonderful family time.
Everything was in working order.
We had a great time at this wonderfully located property. The owners were amazing and responded really quickly. We found the property ideally located to explore door county and very conducive to rest and relaxation that our family needed. Lily bay lodge had everything we needed and we will book again. the little enclosed patio was great for letting our dog pop out.
My family and I had a wonderful time at the Lily Bay Lodge. Just what we needed to kick off the cozy season. Mitch went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. Everything we needed to enjoy the weekend was provided. Even when we left a cable at home, for one of our devices, Mitch was more than willing to run out and grab it for us. Great hosts and a great place to unwind. We hope to be back again soon. Thanks again Mitch!
It was a pleasure to stay here. Great location. Clean. Kitchen had everything we needed as we cooked there every night. I would say that this home was better in person than it shows on the website. The manager was welcoming and responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed this home and hope to stay there again in the future. I give it a 10 out of 10.
Lily Bay Lodge was home for 4 nights in early October for my husband and I and our two small dogs. We wanted someplace special for our anniversary and this location was perfection! Our stay couldn't have been any better! We appreciated the kindness of the owner ... it is obvious they care tremendously about the property. The accommodations were comfortable for us and our pups. Everything was clean and worked well. The fenced in yard for the dogs was great! The beach and the view were amazing... we were up early every morning to watch the sunrise! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a special stay in DC!
My family and I stayed here for 4 nights. The lake house was very clean, spacious, and exactly as described. The highlight is the location. You have part of the lake Michigan shoreline as your backyard. It felt like a private beach because there were such few people around. My dog also enjoyed the fenced yard and we ate on the patio and screened in porch. The owner was very friendly and even offered us complimentary salmon that he had caught the night before. It was delicious. We will definitely be coming back during our next trip to door county.
This would have been a 5 star except for a pretty bad ant problem. The screened porch wasn’t usable due to hundreds of flying ants inside, particularly in the afternoon & evenings. Also ants in the kitchen, but not bad compared to the screened porch.
Otherwise, the location was near perfect, and the place was extremely kid-friendly.
Wonderful location with a great beach! The house was much larger than we expected. Host was extremely friendly and had a fantastic gift basket waiting for us. Very quiet area where you can hear the waves on the beach from the bedrooms.
