The APPLE RETREAT is one of two wonderful recent renovation. I spent most of 2021 creating an elegant and charming place to enjoy in all seasons. A private entrance leads to three over-sized rooms, a very large living room with beamed 14-ft cathedral ceiling, all with great windows and light. The living room TV has AmazonPrime, Hulu, Cable etc, and there are also some board games, books etc. A dining-room/kitchen with table for six and a large kitchen island complements the beautiful full kitchen, with microwave, dishwasher, oven and fridge/freezer. Finally there's a very spacious bedroom with King bed and luxury linens, with closet space and en suite bathroom (with tub/shower combo). The home also has a separate powder room. Outside, there is a pretty, enclosed private covered porch immediately outside the dining area, separated from it by three large picture windows. Great for relaxing outside on the evenings. In the daytimes, light streams into the living room and dining areas, making the place feel spacious and relaxed. This impression of space is greatly enhanced by the cathedral ceilings in both the living and dining rooms - rising to 14 feet at their peak. Most of the floors are in an elegant wood finish; the bedroom is carpeted. The house sleeps up to 4: That is: 2 in the King bed, and then a high-end Queen sofa-bed in the living room provides sleeping for 2 more when needed. Rather than creating additional smaller bedrooms, I decided to keep the place generous in proportion, so that guests can really spread out and not feel cramped. The landscaping round the house and in the whole Green Gables complex is almost an obsession for me, and continually a work in progress! - and is already quite stunning. For instance, I planted over 30,000 spring bulbs at Green Gables by hand last Fall! My two more traditionally-styled vacation rentals nearby (also on the Green Gables property) have also been give almost entirely 5-star ratings by more than 100 groups of guests, and you can read these at the links below. These are the PLUM RETREAT, which sleeps up to 6, and BIRCH REREAT which sleeps 2, and up to 4. Finally, the other newly-renovaterd vacation rental at Green Gables is the SPRUCE RETREAT, a richly furnished, colorful and spacious home, with full kitchen, sleeping 2-4; Oozing with romance and character, it’s great for a couple's romantic getaway, or for a young family. Please explore these to read guests' positive feedback, and discover all that "Green Gables" has to offer. Plum Retreat: www.vrbo.com/1656362 (Lots of great reviews) Birch Retreat: www.vrbo.com/1656219 (Lots of great reviews) Spruce Retreat: www.vrbo.com/2708225 (This one, like APPLE, is new for 2022, so no reviews yet) I hope you'll choose Green Gables either this year or in the future. If you love gardens and are looking to truly relax, you've found the right place! Its location is perfect from which to get around Door County! ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Porch/lanai ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the bay ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Unit size: 1,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76420000/76412600/76412599/f4ea5ba5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### ROMANTIC HIDEAWAY in great Door County location Sister Bay - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Parking available - Microwave 10 Exceptional 58 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-11&endDate=2025-12-12&selected=76412599&PinnedHotelID=76412599&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37700000/37697800/37697721/6293b3ef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "Birch Retreat" - cuteness and elegance combined!
