Rocky Shores was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with all of our needs, including a few unexpected items. Some of our favorite evenings were sitting out at the firepit enjoying sunsets on the lake, and our kids (ages 11 and 6) loved the hammock.

It's an exceptional place, inside and out. We really appreciated the lovely and organized interior living space, with its great view of the water (even from the kitchen!) and good supply of games. We were also very impressed with the responsiveness of our host, Dana, to any questions or concerns. Favorite memories include roasting s'mores by the fire pit while watching the sunset or star gazing, and kayaking to and from the Sunset Grill one evening. ##### Barbara S.

Jul 2, 2024 #### Beautiful Retreat We had the most delightful stay at Rocky Shores Retreat in Door County! The views of the bay were absolutely stunning, especially during sunrise and sunset. The location was perfect for exploring the area, with charming shops, restaurants, breweries, and wineries just a short drive away. The house and bunkhouse are beautifully decorated and had a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, from the comfortable bed to the well-equipped kitchen. We loved having our morning coffee on the deck overlooking the water—it felt like a true escape. Dana was incredibly friendly and very quick to respond to all messages, before and during our trip. Overall, if you're looking for a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views and a warm, inviting ambiance, Rocky Shores Retreat in Door County is the perfect choice. We can't wait to come back! ##### Shaun P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann K.

I brought items I didn’t need because it was supplied, such as shampoo and conditioner. The property was beautiful and private. It was relaxing and close enough to other towns and parks. The kayaks were used often and with 8 adults together with only one bathroom we all survived and enjoyed the property immensely. ##### Ann K.

Aug 20, 2021 #### Perfectly peaceful Door County retreat We loved our stay at the cottage. The house was impeccably clean and Dana was a very responsive hostess who texted with me multiple times before and during our stay. My family of four appreciated all of the attention to detail including clear labeling of all items in the kitchen and bathroom, thoughtful toiletries including make up wipes and toothbrushes in the bathroom. The beds were very clean and comfortable. The outdoor deck overlooking the calm waters was our favorite part of this home. We spent most mornings and evenings out there playing bag toss and by the fire pit or in the hammock. There is a bunkhouse which we didn’t use this time because of lack of AC. However, that is getting put in in September, and we’re looking forward to using that on our next trip. Thank you Dana and Timothea for a wonderful stay. We’ll be back soon! ##### Aparna V. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine W. Sep 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent getaway This property was excellent. Beautiful lakeviews from the house and deck/campfire right on the water. It was a little too chilly to swim when we were there, but if you don't mind getting over the rocks it would be doable. One night was very windy so I was worried it would always be windy pointing north, but there were other days with almost no wind and very calm water. Very well appointed kitchen with some hotel level basics like coffee pods, sugar, creamer, honey. Everything you need for dishwashing, laundry, starting a fire. The set up with the separate bunkhouse (with one full and one twin bed) allows for different guest configurations, either a separate couple or the kids would make sense, but there is only the main bathroom in the house which is the main limitation of this property. A slight drive to sturgeon bay but it was nice driving on rural roads (for me atleast this is rural). There is a pack and play with bassinet attachment which was very handy for us, but note there are no bassinet sheets in the house. ##### Katherine W.

Apr 1, 2025 #### Great spring break stay Our family had a wonderful trip to Door County, and we enjoyed our stay at Rocky Shores Retreat! Despite the chilly early-spring weather, we stayed warm inside, and the fireplace between the large windows overlooking the bay made things cozy. The house was clean, and we had everything we needed and then some. We thought the beds were comfortable, the kids loved the bunkhouse, and we enjoyed the outdoor furniture for short bits of time (again, it was still a bit chilly!). The location of the house was great; we were right on the water, and the quiet meant that we could hear the lake clearly. Nevertheless, we were just a short drive from places to eat and things to do. We would be happy to stay again (if we don't buy our own Door County property, ha!). Dana and Timothea are SUPER responsive, so you'll be in good hands if anything happens or you have any questions. ##### Katie H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew P.
