The Porch House is a design-forward three-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat on 2.5 secluded wooded acres, two miles from downtown Sister Bay. The gourmet kitchen's fold-up window opens onto a large screened porch—a three-season room with a swing bed, TV, and seating for meals and coffee—plus a wrap-around front porch, gas fireplace and spa-like baths.

We loved staying here! It was a beautiful and comfortable home! Would definitely book again!
This is an absolutely beautiful home and property. The high-end furnishings and decor are tasteful, comfortable, and inviting. We had to push ourselves to leave the house and go explore; it would have been just as enjoyable to lounge around all day in the stunning, cozy setting. The kitchen is very well appointed with excellent equipment and helpful supplies. The beds are luxurious - including a hanging daybed in the screened-in sun room! There are special touches throughout the home and on the property. We can't say enough about this beautiful house and setting ... really exceptional.
Excellent location and home. The pictures speak for themselves. Highly recommend for a Door County trip! From the porch to the kitchen to the bathrooms… details matter and they were executed perfectly. We would definitely stay again.
This is a lovely home with every detail thoughtfully taken care of. It was spotless
Great place! Excellent hosts. Home was very clean with all the amenities. Highly recommend.
This house is beautiful! You truly don’t need to bring a thing. Kitchen is fully stocked, they have everything from a kitchen aid stand mixer to caraway cookware. Beds very comfortable, bathrooms were great. Screened in patio was awesome with a beautiful yard and fire pit. Definitely recommend staying here!
The Porch House was by far the best air Bnb we have ever stayed in! Both of our families agreed the house was pristinely clean, decorated thoughtfully, peaceful and fantastic location! I would give it 5 stars over and over. We loved the thoughtful details throughout the home, the beds were so comfortable, our kids had a blast on the back porch and yard, and the bonfire pit was a fun nightly activity. Would stay here again and again! Highly recommend!
This was our second year staying here and we loved it just as much as last year! It comfortably fit 7 of us and we love the outdoor space and layout!
