Cardinal Crest of Sister Bay

This home is in the heart of the Village of Sister Bay, and just a short walk to the marina, beach, shops and dining in this charming community.

You will find something for everyone close by with thriving restaurants, artists, theatre groups, kayaking, biking, expansive parks and recreation areas, shopping, and within a 15 minute drive several popular wineries, breweries, and distilleries.

Built in 2014 you will experience a neat, clean, and a home with an open floor plan.

Private location at the end of a cul-de-sac and surrounded by woods. Very convenient location, we loved being able to walk to the marina and shops and dining. The deck and gas firepit were also great. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, silverware, barware, utensils, etc. The refrigerator had an ice/water dispenser which was convenient.

Close to Town, but Quiet

Nice home that is very close to the town of Sister Bay, but in a nice quiet wooded area. Easily walkable to town. Really nice deck and plenty of room for a family or two. Pet friendly which is another great plus.

Great family vacation place.

We greatly enjoyed our time at Cardinal Crest. The house served our family of 6 adults and 3 children ages 5, 7 and 10 years old very well. Good sized kitchen and dining room for us and the cover deck was a nice bonus on our one rainy day. I would highly recommend this spot.

An excellent property for a (small or) large family. 4 BR total up and back with a generous amount of living space. No master bath and no frills, if those are important to you, but the owner is attentive, communicated well and goes out of his way if the need arises. The new town ordinances regarding rental properties make hosting others a bit restrictive, but the location is great for getting around DoCo and you can avoid Sister Bay traffic if you want to explore during busy times. You can also walk to Al Johnson’s if you don’t mind a short jaunt.

Excellent Getaway

We had an excellent time at the Cardinal Crest of Sister Bay. Alan is a great host and communicator. The property was clean and my wife and I had a wonderful time relaxing, making bonfires, and going into town (which is a very short walk from the property!). We'll definitely be going back!

Perfect stay:

Property is clean and has everything you need for your stay. Owner communicated quickly and accurately. The walk to center of town is around eight minutes...which is great. Home is tucked away near a dead end and had ample parking for the three cars we brought up. There was fire wood available for use and a nice fire pit we enjoyed on property. We are super familiar w/DC and Sister Bay and this property allowed us to have a great week up there. I'd highly recommend it. We had eight people, two adults and six teens aged 13 through 18.
