Amazing Stay

I stayed at the Lily Pad for four days in early March and it was amazing! Alisa is a fabulous host and made sure I had everything thing I needed. The Lily Pad is beautifully designed, furnished and decorated. The kitchen is a great space for preparing meals and was stocked with everything, including delicious coffee from a local coffee shop. The views of the bay are incredible and I enjoyed watching the sunrise each morning. The bed is very comfortable and getting to meet Alisa and her sweet dog, Sara, was a highlight. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend it!

Wonderful Little Cottage

The Lilly Pad Cottage is very private and had everything we could want. The cottage itself is very comfortable and cute. We enjoyed being right on the water. It was really nice having a fire pit and grill at our disposal. Highly recommend and would definitely rent again.

Fabulous Stay

We had a wonderful 4 night stay at Lily Pad. The property was very clean, super cute, and exactly as described. You cannot beat the location in Sturgeon Bay with a beautiful view of the harbor. Alissa was a wonderful host. We definitely would like to stop back up at a future visit.

Cute, cozy, and clean!

This little cottage is right on the water and close to anything you'd want to do in Door County. We fixed most of our meals in the cottage and found it to be easy. Alisa has everything there you need. We would love to go back!

Great honeymoon destination

Me and my wife found this little spot for our honeymoon and we loved it. It’s small but cozy, and for two people it’s perfect. The view is great, we had little ducks swim around near us and that made our day. You can tell the property manager really cares, everything inside the house was very clean and well put together. Just a heads up when we stayed we had to get our own dvd player as here wasn’t one that worked well, but the two tvs had all the streaming apps you could ever need. Overall very pleased with our experience here.

Great time in Door County

From the moment we arrived we were so thrilled with our rental location. The views are amazing and we loved having coffee on the deck and lounging outside and reading. The design of the interior was so well thought out. Everything was great. The bed was so comfortable we both had some of our best sleep in a long time. The host was great to talk with. She was so kind and you can tell she has a lot of pride in her place. It is a must stay rental!

Relaxing

The property was everything listed!! The property was very clean and so relaxing. Everything you could possibly need to stay. Alisa was super nice and even though she lived right next door, she respected our privacy. The nats are a little overwhelming at times but you’re right on the water so expect it. No complaints from us…I would stay there again if we decide to adventure that way again.

Tiny House on the Sturgeon Bay Channel

Very clean, updated top of the line appliances and fixtures. Felt safe. Nice view and you ARE literally on the water. Private location. Very homely and comfortable. The stairs leading to the house need work and the mattress, a little too soft for me. Would go here again and will tell our friends about this home too!

Gem of a Cottage

Like living on a luxury boat without the seasickness! In spite of some rain during our stay, the view from the bay window kept us transfixed with ever-changing clouds, waves and light. The location is magical and the cottage itself perfection--everything a person or two could want or need. The Lily Pad is nestled down below street-level, with private deck and garden at waters' edge. And Alisa is a lovely and gracious host. Highest recommendation!

Cozy Cottage

My husband and I stayed here for our second anniversary. The only couple of downsides were, not being able to watch tv from the bed and the over all set up of the cottage. It was slightly deceiving by the pictures. I expected a bit more space. The front door does face the water but there are no blinds for the large window on the door. That was something to get used to haha. The kitchen is fully furnished which was wonderful, we made breakfast each day and saved some money there. Overall our host was very accommodating and we loved our experience in Sturgeon Bay. The people are wonderful and it very much reminded us of our tiny town we live in now. The Eberts

Incredibly Relaxing

The property was serene and the exact place to recover from teaching. Alisa was so responsive when my coffee maker didn’t work and lovely to talk to. The views made me feel like I was on a live aboard and it was just ahhhhhhhhh

Wedding Anniversary

The Lily Pad Cottage is absolutely perfect for 2 looking to get away and spend some quality time together. The view is beautiful. A lot of things to do out and about in the town or while hanging out at the cottage. We will be back 😁
