We had a fabulous time staying here. It offers easy access to the local town eateries and is a short drive to the rest of Door County.
Super cute place, great location! Steps from all the restaurants and places in Baileys Harbor. House was clean and cozy, with a great open kitchen and breakfast nook for meals. Backyard is peaceful and has a nice fire circle. Instructions were very thorough and hosts are incredibly responsive.
Great place! We had a great time and the host made things easy. Highly recommend
We've stayed here quite a few times and love it. The location is perfect, the house is clean and comfortable.
We had a great stay at this property. The bed was comfy and the shower hot. The location was perfect for walking through Bails Harbor. We would definitely stay here again.
This was the perfect location for all of the wedding festivities we had last for the weekend. We could walk everywhere! The house is really cute and the front porch was a great place to eat breakfast and lunch. The hosts were very responsive and friendly.
Perfect stay for a family of 4! Steps away from restaurants, shops, beach, and playground for the toddlers. Can’t wait to come back next summer!
Howard House exceeded all expectations. Very clean interiors full of light, with tasteful modern decor. All the amenities one hopes for in a vacation rental. The tray of flashlights next to the back door for the path to the fire pit was a great touch. Easy walking distance to all Bailey's Harbor has to offer. Inland Pizza down the street is so good and deserves all the accolades. Highly recommend this rental as base camp for a Door County adventure.
