Comfy, quiet and good location in Sister Bay
We enjoyed our stay in Sister Bay at this small home. I think we took advantage of everything it had to offer. We enjoyed the bikes from the shed in back, the grill, the outdoor tables and chairs, and the fire pit with plentiful wood. We also cooked a few simple meals there and of course coffee in the mornings. Easy walk or bike ride to Sister Bay offerings like restaurants, boats or beach. Updates in the kitchen were apparent and while we cooked a few meals, this is not a gourmet kitchen. Just plan for simple stuff. Laundry came in handy too. Owner Mathew was always responsive.

Perfect for our family!
We had a wonderful stay at Matthew's place. The location is perfect, just a hop skip jump from the lake and downtown sister bay. We really enjoyed being close enough to everything but just off the main drag so we could have privacy and quiet when needed. Everything was as described! We were comfortable with the amenities and new AC system. We easily had a bonfire one evening as well! We will most definitely consider using Matthew's place for our next Door County trip.

Our Intro to Door County
Our cottage was clean, comfortable, quiet, and close enough to town we walked through harbor every day. Back yard had privacy for bonfires and grilling. Enjoyed the firepit every night after a day of adventuring. There was a generous amount of firewood. The only suggestion I’ll make is for those who love to bonfire as we do, a shovel and fire poker would be found most useful to clean the pit and manage the fire. When we stay here again, we hope to find those useful items conveniently hung on an exterior shed wall.

Lovely location! Cute house!
House was very clean. Looked very new. Excellently outfitted. Cute, quiet getaway. But very close to shops and restaurants. Cleanest rental that I have experienced. Could tell owners took a lot of effort to make sure guests had everything they needed. Will definitely come back.

Honeymoon House
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. The furniture in the bedrooms was a bit different than we were expecting, but it didn’t make too much of a difference for us. The location was fantastic and it was a good “home base” for us while we adventurer around Door County.

Quiet retreat for the weekend.
We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Home was nicely finished and had all the amenities, and more, that we needed. Location was very convenient yet quiet. Everything was very clean and check in and out was simple as can be. Have to say the fall fall colors this year were amazing - best we've seen ever. Loved going to all our favorite restaurants and galleries. Love staying in Sister Bay since we spend almost all of our time on that end of the Peninsula. Thanks for everything to our hosts.

Nice.
Nice place. Great location. A little pricey but I think it's just the area. The furniture was not really comfortable and the beds were just OK. Appliances are nice and new. I used the washer and dryer as well. Plenty of towels and blankets. We loved having the firepit and used it every night. Plenty of wood but we had to split it. Bring an ax. Also bring all the little extras such as spices and oils. All toiletries as well. We made a lot of runs to Piggly Wiggly which is nice and close. (Usually I bring too much!) We had a great time and I would rent this place again. Thank you Matt!

Very comfortable place to relax, sleep and decompress. Sister Bay is a great place to stay as it’s easy to get to any destination on the Peninsula from there. Good communication with homeowner and all of the home rules and expectations are clearly laid out.

Great location
If you want great location and access to all that upper Door County offers this might be the place. This cottage is clean, completely updated, well maintained and located with in walking distance of all the town's amenities. Sister Bay has plenty of great restaurants and bars. The cottage is 2 blocks from the lake and not far from all the state and county parks in Door county.

Great cabin on a wooded lot near downtown
The cabin was clean, very well-appointed and in a great location! The only disappointment was that the air conditioning was not central - it was located in the main room. We were lucky that the week was cool or we may have had a warm bedroom (we prefer to sleep quite cool.) Other than that it met our expectations! The owner was also very accessible.

Best Getaway Place!
This little property is quiet and quaint. It’s only a couple of blocks off of the main drag in Sister Bay, so the walking distance was a plus! It didn’t feel like you were in the hustle and bustle of all the tourists most of the time. The little yard and fire pit were perfect for quiet evenings after being in town most of the day. The host was very accommodating! We had accidentally left my 5 year old’s necklace and the host graciously texted me to notify me and mailed it back to us! 10/10
