Great stay!
We loved our stay at this adorable house nestled in the woods! The location was great, 10 minutes or less to many of our favorite spots in Door County. The beach that was just a short drive from the house was not crowded, and would be great for swimming and paddle boarding. 2 king bedrooms, plus a bunk room and additional guest room is not easy to find in a rental. The house was super clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The hosts were kind and helpful. Thank you for a great week!

The best getaway in Door County
Beautiful house on a perfect wooded property. I love homes that feel like home...and this is one of them. Beautifully furnished, comfortable, and quality beds/bedding, great kitchen offerings with everything needed to make your stay wonderful. Outside firepit and wrap-around porch with swings just adds to the charm. Great host who is helpful and attentive to any needs. Loved the layout with 4 beautiful guest rooms and 3 bathrooms. This house can accommodate anyone who needs a first-floor bedroom as well as a master on the 2nd floor. Great girls' getaway or family vacation spot. Amazing bunk room for the kids to hang out! This property is as pictured and will definitely not disappoint. We hope to stay here often!

White Cedar 5 Stars
Thank you to our wonderful hosts for thinking of everything to make our family vacation special! Our 4 generation family loved our week stay at this retreat! Something for everyone. From 1-1/2 years old to 84 and everything in-between. Toddler toys & books, pack n play, booster seat, highchair, baby gates, and baby monitor for the little one, and a main level bedroom (king) & hallway bathroom for the couple with the most wisdom. We loved all the special touches. Night lights, roasting sticks for the fire pit, beach towels, spices, coffee & coffee pods, Door Country brochures, laundry detergent, kids dishes galore! There was even Scotch tape and bug spray :) White Cedar Retreat's decor was delightfully fresh... and the porch swings were so relaxing. The pictures were spot on! You won't want to miss out on this gem. Enjoy.

This was a great place to stay with my adult children and partners for a family vacation. We loved the location and the property was exactly as described. In fact it was even better than anticipated! We utilized the outdoor spaces for morning coffee and grilling dinners. Kitchen was well equipped and everything was clean and well maintained.

Good for all of us.
Our annual family get-together brought us back to Door County this year. We love all that the area offers, but it's nice to come back to a quiet, lovely house to regroup in. The house was warm and welcoming. All details throughout the house were planned for. Everything we needed worked beautifully. This house was top notch!!!!

Our family had a great stay at this rental. The house was perfect for our 3 daughters, 3 sons-in-law, 3 granddaughters, and the two of us. We had plenty of room, and the outside fire pit was a hit for making s’mores. Would go there again!
