The property was rented to accommodate 14 people for 5 days and 4 nights. With that in mind we needed more linens and towels which we had to ask for and got once. There were no linens for the roll out couch which we took a top sheets off a bed for a sheet and blanket. there were no light bulbs in many of the lamps, ice maker was broke, air conditioners were not working ( fuse blew), found garbage, clothes and toys in couches and closets, washer stunk, not enough chairs or tables to sit outside as a group or lighting (to enjoy the lake, moon and stars), coffee pot was nasty and had to sterilize. The door next to the garage in front slams if not held and cut/bruised one of the renters. no storage to put our food so we occupied the island and table with food. Most of the downfalls were brought up to the person who was there to fix stuff so we would not get blamed or charged. For the money we paid I would not stay there again. The Jack and Jill bathroom/bedroom was weird, some even got locked in that bathroom until heard. Thank you, and hope this helps to get your place up to what is advertised.

Gorgeous waterfront property
We really enjoyed staying at this house. It was large enough for our group of 7 to spread out. The house is a combination of historic and contemporary decor. It has a lot of history with a stunning view of the water. The location was perfect, we walked to nearby restaurants every night. Highly recommend!!

Lakeside loveliness!
The house was picture perfect for our extended family vacation! Being right on the water was spectacular. We found the house to be stocked with most of the items we have come to expect from renting other properties. There was no hair dryer. We found the beds and linens to be soft and comfortable. One thing that was a bit of a surprise was the layout of the two bedrooms with the shared bath. While reading the description, we did not understand that you had to walk through the first bedroom and bathroom to get to that second bedroom. It worked for us, but may not be ideal for all groups. Maybe I missread, but wanted to point it out to others. As a previous reviewer mentioned, we also had a problem with hot water and multipe showers going at once.

Great home base for a trip to Door County
Located in Bailey’s Harbor so everything is within a 15 min driving distance - the view is beautiful so even if you wanted to linger at the house and stare out at the water all day you could. Our family enjoyed eating in the spacious kitchen for breakfast each morning, while most days we spent afternoons out. The grill was a little dirty from continuous use - so we needed to clean it to be able to grill on it. The fat trap needs to be emptied to ensure that there is not a hazard from flames shooting up. And the only other issue is the showers and not being able to have multiple people showering at the same time. If you’re booking a large house and expect a number of people to stay and use the numerous bathrooms at once, the distribution of the hot water needs to be remedied. Otherwise the house was ideal for our needs.
