Somehow nicer than expected from the pictures. A quiet wooded area about 15 minutes from downtown Sturgeon Bay. It was much better option than a couple hotel rooms for our family of four for about the same cost.

July getaway

Loved the privacy. Everything we could have needed, super thoughtful. Saw deer, turkey, and squirrels all the first day. Disappointed no water access to even walk to for a sunset viewing, appeared to be all private unless we missed something, but we did drive around the neighborhood and saw nothing. Otherwise perfect stay.
