First stay in Sister Bay

We loved the property! It was just a couple blocks off of the downtown strip and the water, but very quiet and had a real cottage feel with great updates. Really the best of both worlds because it was close to everything, but the little backyard was private and had a woodsy feel but close to lots of great places.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage with our two kids! The location couldn’t be better — just a short walk to downtown Sister Bay for breakfast, shopping, and the beach. The cottage was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed (and even things we didn’t realize we’d want!) — from beach towels to marshmallow sticks for evening s’mores. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and the host’s communication was excellent. This was the perfect spot for an October weekend, and we’re already planning to return!

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin! It was very cute and very clean. It is very updated inside with a modern full kitchen. The street is very quiet and it was a short walk to downtown for restaurants, shopping and sunset viewing. The property owner was very quick to respond to any questions that I had. We will definitely consider staying here again on future visits.
