Unique architecture in an exquisite setting! The property was very clean and well cared for. We enjoyed the deck on the beach for reading, coffee and yoga. It was peaceful and serene — yet about 20 minutes from Egg Harbor. The owner answered all of our questions promptly and was very gracious.
Northern lights from the balcony!

Great weekend

We spent 3 nights with our family of 4. Was very relaxing to sit by the shore and watch the waves roll in. Very private location, with all the amenities needed for our trip. Would definitely stay again.

Nice Stay in a Great Location

Had a wonderful stay with family for a long weekend. House is outfitted nicely and the sauna was a nice bonus. Living room overlooking the lake made for some nice sunsets. Would stay here again in the future.

Our family had the best time staying at the Gray Gull this past week. The property was clean and had everything we needed, and being on the water was amazing. The property is in a great location, a short drive to so many fun places. We would absolutely stay here again!

Cozy place by the water

If you love the water, you're right there steps away. We enjoyed the view of the bay and the sounds of the water on the shore right outside our door. We also found the fireplace to be one of the best we've ever had at a rental. It was easy to start, hardly ever smelled of smoke, and we were provided all the wood we could use. We will definitely be back!

We had a great stay at the White Gull - enjoying the deck was a nightly happening while watching the sunset. The peninsula is beautiful and easy to get from town to town from the White Gull. Make sure to bring linens.

Peaceful and Relaxing

Our stay was too short! Being right by the water was wonderful. We had a bonfire by the shore one evening. The home was very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed. Great location for some quiet time, but not too far from restaurants and tourist attractions. We’d recommend the Maritime Museum in Sturgeon Bay and the fish boil at White Gull Inn in Fish Creek.

Amazing water view & great home!

This property was just what we wanted. Nice home with lots of space & everything we needed for a week’s stay. Furnishings were very comfortable - with good tv’s & WiFi. The water views & waves crashing at night were extremely relaxing. Also enjoyed lots of pelicans in the area - who seemed to enjoy fishing in front of us. We would definitely go back.

Yearly anniversary trip to Door Co

We wanted to stay in the house this year because it’s nice to have all of the space and a full kitchen. We enjoy making our breakfast in the morning and relaxing a bit before we start our day. The setting was absolutely perfect. Being right on the water was very quiet, private, with a stunning view of the bay. We spent each night down by the fire pit looking over the water. A most relaxing setting.

Barbara has a beautiful property and anyone who rents is lucky to share it. The location is perfect for exploring the sites. We most enjoyed the lavender, fish boil and the beautiful colors. The house is very comfortable and we shared most meals there. I would recommend it!
