This was an amazing place to stay!! The hosts were wonderful and everything was so nicely set up for us when we arrived. They were so hospitable and gave us great tips for things to do in the area. The place was very clean, well organized, and had extra amenities like coffee bags and little creamers set out for us when we arrived. The area is a perfect close distance to Sturgeon Bay while still being in a quiet scenic country side. It was exactly what we were looking for!

Lovely cabin

We loved everything about this property. It was super cozy, everything we needed was stocked. Our daughter loved playing in the gazebo. The owners were so nice, they even brought a toy over for our daughter. We will be visiting again!

The cabin was amazing! We could not have had a better time. It was a perfect place to relax, play board games, curl up by the fire, and watch movies. It was clean, spacious, and perfect for a romantic getaway weekend. We cannot wait to come back next year!

My wife’s new favorite place

The cabin is incredible and the Cihlar’s are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. I’ve stayed here once before on a fishing trip with my dad but knew my wife would love it. We returned over Labor Day and had one of our best vacations ever. Having such a lovely little place to stay was the icing on the cake.

The Homestead 🏚

It is a beautiful cabin. It was amazing coming back to it after a long day of site seeing. Relaxing and sitting by the fire, it doesn't get much better than that. The host was awesome. We had everything we needed..even the extras like french vanilla creamer😉 We would definitely stay here again.

Everything we hoped for and more!

Russ is a detailed, thoughtful individual interested in the comfort and quality of stay for his guests. We asked for something as simple as a Kuerig coffee maker and he let us borrow his wife's no less. A fire was already built in the fireplace just waiting for us to put a match to the kindling. The restored 1882 pioneer log home was a viseral and historic treat. Russ is the consumate builder and mechanical engineer. Highly recommend this place to stay ! We hope to return soon.

Cabin stay

This was such an enjoyable stay. At first we were deterred by the steep stairs but then realized that was part of the old home. Stairs were like that and to change that would have changed the authenticity of it. Hand rails on the sides of the stairs took care of any concerns. The fireplace and exposed log beams were our favorite parts of the home. We used the fireplace often throughout our stay. So clean and cozy. Absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for the amazing experience. Maureen and Michael Oschman

Impeccably clean, Fully equipped Historic cabin

We absolutely loved staying here. Everything from the easy to access, close parking to the inner and outer Cabin amenities to the Goregous flowers that adorn the exterior. Our Hosts Russ and Stacy were so accomodating and friendly it was like meeting up with old friends. Dixie their Lovely, gentle Golden greated us with squeals of delight every day and basked in the sunshine with us as we enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. Our location was mere minutes to delicious restaurants, antique shops, wineries, shoreline and so much more. The beds and pillows were so comfy we slept like logs every night. AC upstairs and downstairs was so nice to come "home" to after a long day sighseeing in the summer heat. I cannot say enough about how lovely this cabin and its owners are. A scenic drive from Milwaukee, we 100% recommend this hidden gem! 10 out of 10!

Unwind & Explore

Owners Russ & Stacy (and their sweet dog, Dixie) are genuinely friendly and welcoming. They carefully maintain their cabin to provide comfort and serenity. The cabin had everything I needed to enjoy my solo trip to Door County. It was spotlessly clean, the fireplace was perfect, and I slept soundly after exploring Sturgeon Bay & beyond!! It was hard to leave but I KNOW I will be back.

Great Place

We loved our time at the cabin, it was a very clean place to stay. It was awesome to see pictures and know the history of the cabin, they have done a great job of restoring it and making it into a nice place for people to stay. While we were they we were able to enjoy the Fireplace in the Cabin, if we visit the Door County area again, we will stay again! It was a nice getaway for our honeymoon!
