Fire on the Bay
Our stay on the property was lovely for the most part. It was important we were able to bring our pooch. The fire pit right over the water was magical. Just warm enough to hang out into the night. The yard, while not fenced, was large enough to set up a tether so our boy could roam a bit but stay safe. We showed up right after a Bay Fly hatch, which wasn't entirely pleasant. But they don't bite & were more a nuicance than a danger. and our

Cozy Cottage
We had a very pleasant stay @ Riley's Point. The cottage was tidy and very comfortable. There were a few flies, but that did not spoil our stay. The cabin is somewhat secluded, the neighborhood is very quiet and dark. Perfect for stargazing! Very pleased with our stay!!

The View ❤️
The recent upgrades has opened the place up to see the breathtaking view. This house was perfect for our little getaway. We started and ended our day the same way, on the deck staring at the water and listening to the waves.

We had a great time. The view of the lake was so beautiful. We had a campfire every night and watched the sun set. The cabin was clean and very comfortable. The cabin was much nicer than the pictures. I think they need to be updated. The owner was very friendly.

The area was clean and nicely upkept. There was lots of space for our group of six to gather together without being cramped. Not only was the waterfront view beautiful, but the cabin itself was also quite cute and comfortable. Our only regret was not booking a longer stay.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The home was clean and had a full kitchen. We had access to lake front with a beautiful deck and fire pit. Sunsets were gorgeous. And rain storms made for some scenic waves. A little longer to get into town, but very private.

Wonderful Waterfront Cabin
This was our second stay at the cabin, and hopefully we'll be back next summer too. It's great being able to splash around in lake Michigan, and have a campfire overlooking the bay. It's close to Sturgeon Bay, for restaurants and shopping. And we also use it as a base camp, and take day trips up the peninsula to visit the parks and attractions.

Cozy cabin on the water
The cabin was perfect for our weekend stay in Door County. The view of the bay out the windows was spectacular. We watched fish pop their head out the water, and the American White Pelicans hanging out on the water. We were far enough for the center of town to feel away from everything, yet close enough to hit some shops or get supplies we forgot.
