Quick weekend stay with family before school got into full gear. We loved the property. It was a great place to stay with teens and the pup. We enjoyed the arcade room and the fire pit. The bunk room was perfect. I enjoyed having coffee by the lake in the mornings and we could see the door county sunsets from the dock. Only downsides- the area is remote. Which is great if you are looking for peace and quiet, but a bit of a drive to do door county things. Because of the remote location, the yard is very buggy. The owners are very strict about the check-in and checkout times and they are late/early, so it cut the trip shorter.Overall, I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to family and friends.

Relaxing!

Very relaxing getaway to explore Door County! Even if it was wintertime, there's still so much to see and enjoy. I had to ask Emily a couple questions while we were there and she was very prompt with answering. Very easy check in and out process. The gameroom was awesome! Overall the property was very nice!

While my spouse and I were feeling tremendous anxiety about an upcoming medical procedure the waterfront location, fresh air & our dog's company released a great amount of that anxiety and tension. We spent most of our time next to blazing fires at the fire pit watching amazing sunsets which was ideal for relaxing and enjoying our time there.The online pictures show exactly what you get. Emily and her staff were friendly and helpful with everything we needed. They made our stay that much more enjoyable.However, I counted at least 20 places to sleep on this property. A dorm area that can accommodate 16 sleepers, the master bedroom for 2 and a fold out sofa for 2 more. But only 1 bathroom with a shower/tub. In my opinion 6 people would be the max to stay comfortable. Although there is enough entertainment on the property to keep 20 occupied with a massive game room and tons of outdoor activities provided. So don't disappoint your selves by over booking.

Perfect getaway for family with teens

The house with a separate bunk area and game room was perfect for our 16 year son and his friend. When they weren’t hanging out inside, they were kayaking, biking and fishing (all equipment was part of the stay). At night we enjoyed and outdoor fire pit and sitting in front of the fire in the living room watching Netflix.The location, the accommodations, activities, the management company - five stars all around!

Peaceful Escape

We enjoyed a quiet, restful weekend by the lake in this well kept, well stocked lake cottage. It was close to town, but felt remote and was very peaceful. I recommend for a winter getaway if that’s the environment you’re look for!

The Perfect Little Long Weekend Getaway!

Our three kiddos had a long weekend off of school, so we decided to do an impromptu long weekend getaway! We loved that dogs were allowed, all the beautiful hiking options within a 45 minute drive, the beautiful sunsets from the dock, the super fun and entertaining game room, the adventure shed, and the fully stocked kitchen so we could cook breakfasts and other meals at home. We truly enjoyed our stay. :)

Relaxing Family Vacation

This rental has everything you need to enjoy a great relaxing vacation. We were able to enjoy the peacefulness by the water, do some fishing, and be able to kayak as many amenities as possible. As all items are available to do so. The house is very cleanly and there is plenty of room for multiple guests. The location is fantastic, as it is not that far out of the way to visit other towns, such as Sisters Bay. This is the 2nd time renting this house, and we will for sure be renting it again.

Great spot on the water

Loved this house! It was bigger than the pictures looked and had plenty of space for our group. The back yard is amazing and private even with the neighbors. Felt extremely safe with the key pads at the house. AC worked wonders for the summer. Nice and cool. You can tell this place has been marinated well. Was fully stocked with the essentials. And working with Emily was smooth as can be. Would recommend to a friend and hopefully stay here again. Thanks again!

Lake house

We enjoyed the game room, sun room, fire pit, and all of the activities in the shed especially the kayaks. The house had supplies we didn’t expect like dish soap, shampoo, blankets, laundry detergent, etc. which was a surprise to us. While the home has AC, I think a dehumidifier is needed because there was a smell which irritated some guests allergies and asthma.

A wonderful cottage

My family of 7 (6 adults and a toddler) had a wonderful time as guests of The Lake Haus - Waterfront Cottage. There was plenty of room, it was a great location, you can tell that the owners take great pride in this cottage. The Waterfront Cottage is on the water, so nice to sit outside at night with a fire going, the game room is loads of fun. Don't worry if you forgot something, odds are that they have it supplied there. Thank you for allowing our family to visit and create some forever memories. Jane Pipia

Loved this cabin!

We found this cabin to be spotless and well-stocked! We brought more than we needed such as paper products but previous renters may have left the extra napkins, TP, and paper towels. There were plenty of towels and washcloths. Several choices of where to eat including a picnic table, game room table, kitchen table, outdoor table, and a porch table. The game room was fun, especially for when we had a rainy night in. The outdoor storage area was stocked with kayaks and a canoe, fishing poles, bikes and other outdoor accessories. We didn't have young children or a pet, but this would be perfect for them as well. The lake off the dock is shallow, so no fishing there but good for kayaking on. We loved the ample chairs for the fire pit.

Weekend getaway

Our trip was great. The house is small and is probably better for a summer getaway, than a winter one, but we made it work. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and eating. The game room was fun, although some of the things were broken. The mattresses in the bunk bed room were super comfy. My one recommendation would be to pay very close attention to the pictures. I guess I didn't because I didn't realize there wasn't really a couch if you used the second bedroom, just a couple of chairs and there also wasn't a table more that more than 3 or 4 people could sit at. Great location and in the summer, it would be amazing. Thank you to the hosts for being thoughtful in the supplies available in the house.

Comfortable for our family outing

We were quite comfortable at the The Lake Haus. It was very peaceful looking out at the bay from the firepit area and the sunsets from the dock were gorgeous. The game room was a hit with everyone, especially the golf and Tempest arcade games and the electronic dart board. The bunk room was very well laid out and the beds very comfortable. The kitchen and living room/dining area were a bit small for our group of nine, but we made do without too much trouble. This was a nice place to stay for our 3-night get-away. We took many walks around the neighborhood and encountered many friendly smiles and waves along the way. Our stay was peaceful and we enjoyed the accommodations. I would recommend this rental to others for sure. Also, I have to give a shout out to Emily and Bernice for their wonderful communication over the weeks/months leading up to our stay. They answered any question I had and the check-in/check-out process was so easy. Thank you.
