Sitting in the back yard listening to the waves, sipping coffee and watching the sunrise are the moments I will always treasure. Visiting the winery and the markets in door county was so fun! We found the best Market was Wienkes, only 1 mile from the house. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Location, Location Location!!

I first want to say that, overall, this was exactly what wife my and I needed and expected. that being said, this is obviously a 1950's-ish lakeside house. The host has done a lot of good work in doing some updates, but...if you are looking for pure luxury and space...this isn't for you. Then again, if you are renting this for that...you're missing out...because the highlights are the very secluded, private location and the spectacular view. We would definitely stay here again!

Adventure with a Twist

Loved Hidden Shores Cottage. It is a great place to go on vacation,enjoy the quiet,, have a cup a coffee and just take in Lake Michigan. The cottage was furnished with much more than we expected so we did not have to bring everything we did. Even my corgi was relaxed and enjoyed being able to roll his favorite ball around. What we didn't expect was a bad storm that knocked out the power for a few hours and the terrential rain that came with the storm. After we were able to get a hold of Emily she kept in contact with us to make sure everything was ok. Until next time....your adventure awaits!

Beautiful view

These are observations not complaints, but had we known it may have influenced our decision.1. We mainly chose this property for the use of kayak and canoe. There is no safe way to bring these down to the water or back up. But everything you need to enjoy them is here.2. This a a fabulous place for dogs, very accommodating. If you are not a dog person know ahead of time that the furniture in the sun room smells like dog. There was dog fur on the comforters, again not a complaint it is just we are not dog people. In the description it tells you that you can have dogs so this should not have been a surprise. This home is very clean, these are just things that happen when you host fur babies.3. There are plastic covers on the mattress. I have never experienced that at a VRBO before, just weird, not a complaint. The view is amazing and that is what we enjoyed. I am not sure I would stay here again at the rate we paid knowing what we know now, but it was a holiday weekend and options were limited. Host was very nice and answers super quick. There are MANY DVD's to use which is great because the Internet is so spotty we could not use our laptops for Netflix.

A very clean cottage with great views.

This property is very clean with several outside areas, including a modern playground. We had a very nice time with great views of the lake. The three season porch was used often since we managed to visit at lake/may fly time (they don't bite, but do swarm). We look forward to visiting again in October.

Mostly good time

This property is really in a great location and we loved being right by the lake. The home itself was great as far as space went- little short on closet space. We spent much time in the family room. Beautiful views of lake. We however had concerns about some issues like very dirty garbage can in living area-had to bleach it to get rid of smell, bathroom sick was clogged, outdoor grills were both so rusted and dirty that we couldn’t use either. Fire pit was also dirty. When we arrived at home we had to sanitize all the utensils- per notice on refrigerator. So these issues really put a damper on our stay.
