Perfect family get away

My family, including our two young kids and cavapoo, stayed here for five nights and enjoyed every minute. The location was close to everything we wanted to see and the fun part was the kids looked forward to coming back to the house each night and playing on the beach. The fenced in yard was great for our dog. We grilled out two nights and strolled song the beach at sunrise and sunset. The owner was very welcoming and attentive and we appreciated the fish and other goodies he left for us. This house made the trip a true success and we came home with lots of special memories of our time in Sturgeon Bay.

Wonderful Door County Lakeside weekend

The Lily Bay Lodge was wonderful- the house is great, beds super comfy. And the location was amazing - so many stars in the clear night sky and we loved drifting off to sleep to the sound of the waves. Host was very responsive to all our questions and needs and gave a great suggestion for local live music!

Perfect getaway!

Beautiful house and property with absolutely stunning views of Lake Michigan! I was the exact restful getaway we were looking for and our dog was also delighted to be there due to the fenced in back yard and the wide open beach to explore either direction. If you are looking for a true, quiet, gorgeous getaway, this is the perfect house and location.
