The property was quiet, clean, well maintained. The property is about 15 minutes from Sister Bay which gives you the best of both worlds, a bustling little town and peace and quiet once your day is done. The house was well equipped with everything we required for our stay. The living area was spacious and accommodated 5 adults, 2 kids, and 2 dogs very well. The deck was a wonderful add on to outdoor living space. The owners were quick to respond via email of via phone. Would definitely stay at this location again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as a family at Birch Grove! It was convenient to Newport State Park and the Washington Ferry. We loved being away from the summer hustle and bustle, but knew that at any time, we could take a drive to Sister Bay, Ephraim, and Fish Creek! The house was super clean and the layout was nice! The kitchen was well-equipped and we chose to make all our dinners at the house! Great front and back porches, as well as screened-in porch with a gas fire pit. We would definitely book Birth Grove again! Lots of great family memories made!
Awesome house. Great property. Plenty of space. Secluded, but still close to everything. Host was very attentive
My friends and I had a really great long weekend in door county and the stay in this home was fantastic. The host was very responsive with messaging, the home was just beautiful, and really happy that we even extended our night by one night!
Great place, ideal for families or groups. Best to focus dining around sister bay given the proximity. Comfy beds and spaces to hangout.
Beautiful home and property. Very clean. Great kitchen and great room. Fantastic gazebo and firepit table. Working and clean grill.
The house was absolutely beautiful! So clean and comfortable. Plenty of fresh linens with comfortable beds. Outdoor space was also great. Can’t say enough about this rental-more than we hoped for. Communication was fantastic as well!
The space was great for a family trip with lots of areas to gather and catch up. The location was close to local food options, though did require a car for getting around. It was well decorated and modern. Bring bug spray, as there were lots of ticks on our summer trip even just at the edge of the wooded area. We are hoping to come back in the future!
