We decided we would return! It was so peaceful and private. Morning coffee in our pj’s and an evening bonfire with beers down by the water’s edge. Beautiful water views while lounging on the comfy couches indoors. It was the perfect size for 2 adult couples complete with all the comforts of home - except for the size of the beds. ( 6’3” husbands) however; not enough to keep us away. Owner is very responsive and cottage was clean and inviting upon our arrival. Don’t hesitate or think there is something better. BOOK IT!
Sat with us while we drank our coffee - maybe 15’ from us.
View from couches.

Beautiful home and location! The views of the water and sunsets were spectacular! We have stayed in many homes in Door County over the years and this was by far our favorite. Our favorite feature besides the deck by the water was the screened in porch, such a nice amenity! We definitely plan to stay again in the future. Thanks for the beautiful stay!!

Girls weekend

Very clean, quiet and adorable place located right on the water. This is my first time to Door County so I was not quite sure which area to stay in. The rental is listed at Egg Harbor but the gps and maps are listed as Sturgeon Bay. I believe its the very south end of Egg Harbor…which is further from all the main towns than I had expected. We did a lot of driving. Everything is about 15- 20 minutes away. Definitely a nice peaceful place if that’s the vibe you are looking for. We were there for a girls weekend, and next time we’ll try to find something that is actually in Egg Harbor or Fish Creek.

Wonderful fall weekend!

My husband, sister and brother-in-law thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Villa. The view was spectacular because of all the windows and the living/kitchen area was perfectly designed, beautifully decorated and well equipped. The location was very private and quiet which made for an especially nice time. We look forward to another weekend at the Villa!

This beautiful home enchanted us from the moment we arrived. The spacious rooms and screen porch offered many spots in which to relax and visit, that is if you could take your eyes off of the incredible lake view anand the surrounding property area.

Awesome place to stay on the water

We just returned from a long weekend trip to Door County Wi. We couldn't have found a better place for us to stay! This place is exactly as described, only better, there is no way to describe how peaceful it is to hear the waves softly running against the shore while looking at the stars on a moonless night. This place has it all, peace, quite, not too far from town, and it's fully equipped. We found the peninsula kind of crowded during the weekend, and to be honest, we found the food not to be near as good as we remembered, COVID has done a lot of damage, everywhere. This place had all we would have needed to prepare much better meals than most of what we got going out, and we wouldn't have had to leave this beautiful setting to boot. Barbara, the host was very easy to communicate with, the place is gorgeous, we just can't say enough good things about it. We feel very fortunate to have been able to share this wonderful place, should you decide to do the same, we don't believe you would ever be disappointed!

Sisters getaway

We (five sisters) spent two wonderful days and nights at Villa Royer. The house was beautifully decorated, comfortable, and had plenty of space for the five of us. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we could have needed. The views of Lake Michigan from the living room and screen porch were amazing and the sunset over the lake on our first night was simply stunning. We woke the next morning to a full moon shining over the lake. Communication with Barbara was easy and quick. The location was perfect, quiet and private yet a short drive from shops and restaurants. We highly recommend Villa Royer and are already planning a return visit.
