Beautiful Space!
This property has such a great variety of beautiful spaces. There's lots of room to spread out, it would be really great for a group. There was more outdoor space than we expected, and we hope to come back during the warm season to enjoy the outdoors more. The views were amazing. We stayed in January and enjoyed watching the ever-changing ice landscape on the water, along with the ferry, a flock of loons, and a bald eagle hunting the shoreline that flew close to the cabin windows. We cooked up a storm in the well-stocked kitchen, and we especially loved the game room! House was very clean, and host communication was excellent. We love Porte Haven!

You won’t find better views of the lake anywhere - truly spectacular. The home sits as close to the lake as possible and the windows are large and abundant. Perfect lake and nature viewing for any season.

Unbelievable views in a warm setting
We really enjoyed our stay! A unique property that is well appointed, warm and inviting. The views and location are hard to beat. The location is away from the busyness of the towns on Highway 42, but not so far away that it hinders exploration of the popular spots in Door County. The house is charming and the host very responsive should you need anything. We will make a point to stay at this location again.

Amazing views from an amazing place.
Porte Haven was an amazing place to stay. The master bedroom upstairs offers amazing views of the water and not to distant islands. And the kitchen and living room were great places to relax and make an amazing dinner on the premium Viking appliances. The basement offered a great place to hang with friends and play some games.

Truly outstanding place in Door County
The Porte Haven boat house in DC is amazing. 4 levels, multiple beds and baths, two fire pits, and an outstanding view of Death's Door where the weather is clearly visible. Newport State Park is a few minutes away with great hiking. The owners make it easy to access everything you need and are amazingly available to assist if you need it. Could not be any better!

Girls Getaway
We stayed at Porte Haven early October for a girls getaway. The property is beautiful. Being right on the water the sunrise is worth getting up early for. We enjoyed spending time by the two fire pits, the all season room, the game room, large kitchen table, and living room fireplace .The owners were very easy to communicate with. I would recommend it and definitely would stay there again. It's secluded but yet close to all that Door County offers.

We were in town for a wedding at the end of September,this property turned it into an amazing getaway! The sights and sounds of the lake are unforgettable! We had a great bonfire one of the nights,we were swimming right in front of the house while waving to the Washington island ferry boat! This is a professionally managed property! All the things needed for fun was on hand! We golfed at the peninsula golf course ,went hiking in the peninsula state park….great dinners at some really nice restaurants…..it really was a trip full of memories! Thanks for sharing your property with us Jeremy and Caitlyn! Door county is full of overwhelming fun!
