Great stay in Door County

The house is located in a great location in a fairly quiet smaller town just a short drive to some of the busier areas. Our family loved staying here, the bedroom layout worked perfectly and the house was equipped with everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

If you want to have everything within walking distance and feel you're in what Door County used to be like, this is the place to stay. All the comforts of home, in quaint Ellison Bay.

Lovely stay in quiet Ellison Bay

We had the best week at this place! It was clean and exactly as described (honestly even nicer in person). It was just 1 block to all of the restaurants, coffee shops etc in Ellison Bay which is a lovely town much quieter than several of the other ones but still with plenty of great options as well as a park & beach. Only a 10 min drive to sister Bay and Gill Harbor, we found it very easy to get around and would absolutely stay here again.
