Relaxing!

Very relaxing getaway to explore Door County! Even if it was wintertime, there's still so much to see and enjoy. I had to ask Emily a couple questions while we were there and she was very prompt with answering. Very easy check in and out process. The gameroom was awesome! Overall the property was very nice!

Perfect getaway for family with teens

The house with a separate bunk area and game room was perfect for our 16 year son and his friend. When they weren’t hanging out inside, they were kayaking, biking and fishing (all equipment was part of the stay). At night we enjoyed and outdoor fire pit and sitting in front of the fire in the living room watching Netflix.The location, the accommodations, activities, the management company - five stars all around!

Peaceful Escape

We enjoyed a quiet, restful weekend by the lake in this well kept, well stocked lake cottage. It was close to town, but felt remote and was very peaceful. I recommend for a winter getaway if that’s the environment you’re look for!

The Perfect Little Long Weekend Getaway!

Our three kiddos had a long weekend off of school, so we decided to do an impromptu long weekend getaway! We loved that dogs were allowed, all the beautiful hiking options within a 45 minute drive, the beautiful sunsets from the dock, the super fun and entertaining game room, the adventure shed, and the fully stocked kitchen so we could cook breakfasts and other meals at home. We truly enjoyed our stay. :)

Family Vacation 2025

My family had a wonderful time in Door County, and the location of the property was terrific. We were right on the water and took advantage of the kayaks in the adventure shed. The property is also in close proximity to beaches and parks. We only marked the property down a little on cleanliness due to the upkeep of the older part of the house. The bunk room and game room (newer section of house) are in terrific shape and well worth the money spent. The older section of the house, however, with the main bedroom, kitchen, and bonus room could use a little help. Things could definitely be updated a bit to match the price being paid for the house. Also, the description includes "swimming and fishing" from the location (or at least that is how we read it), but honestly the water is so shallow and has such a rocky entrance, it would be difficult to swim at the house. There is a beach 4 minutes down the road, which is awesome, but loading the family in the car to swim is different than being able to swim from your own property. There are also not a lot of large fish that will come up to the property due to the shallow waters, so fishing is best done in other locations, as well.

Enjoyed our anniversary at the Lake Haus!

This place offers a lot to do with the adventure shed, we took the row boat out on the water and it was perfect! Enjoyed campfires by the lake and played a few games of darts as well. The place offered great space as well as great sunset views and fully stocked kitchen which was a plus. Would definitely stay here again!
