Great place to stay. Very quiet, beautiful landscaping, amazing views & sunsets. We really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well stocked, so we were able to cook. Communication was great…very responsive. I loved the way the place was decorated with all the dog & lake-themed decor. We were very comfortable & grateful we could bring our 2 small dogs. Thank you again for a lovely stay!

Property was well equipped with everything you could think of. Very comfortable! Views were amazing and in a very secluded and quiet area. Plenty of eagle and pelicans flying by which I loved. Close to all the attractions in upper door country. I honestly can’t say enough about the host and his management. Best I’ve ever worked with. Communication and check in was a plus. Thanks Cozzi family for a great memorable time at your place! Will definitely stay again.

The views at this rental are unbeatable. We enjoyed our coffee by the water in the morning, a sunset campfire, and unwinding in the hot tub at the end of the day. Hosts were very friendly and we can’t wait to book again!

Spectacular Views

This is such a nice home. The room configuration of the beds worked great for our group. My husband and I took the bedroom & bathdownstairs which was more secluded and allowed us to give our kids and grandkids all the sleeve upstairs. Anthony and Tony were so responsive and helpful with the home Door County area. The hope was very clean and is stocked very well. I would say stocked better than any other house we have rented, from laundry soap to kitchen supplies they had everything available.The views from the deck were the best part of this home. Could sit there all day if the kids would let me and just take in that view. The stairs down to the water weren't as difficult as i thought they might be. The kids loved it down by the water. Thank you Anthony for letting us enjoy your home.

Nice place, love the lake access and fire pit. Sunsets are great. Incredible number of may flies though (at least this time of year), so heads up if youre scared of (non-biting) bugs.

Relaxing family vacation

Our extended family had a wonderful stay at this property. All communications with the owners was great. The house was clean and roomy enough for our large group. Large deck and hot tub were great for relaxing. Peaceful, quiet and beautiful setting. Sunsets were gorgeous. Large dining room table was great for board game nights. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the future!
