The pictures online make this place look newer and very clean. There were several things that needed to be repaired, including doors, locks and the railings going upstairs. Decks felt unsteady and railings were wiggly. The land was gorgeous and right on the water, which was priceless. Bedrooms were practical, bathrooms clean, and the living room was comfy.
We had a great stay! The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect for exploring Door County, while still being a nice place to come back and relax at the end of the day. The hosts were also very responsive and helpful. We really enjoyed our weekend and would definitely stay here again!
Location was perfect! The waterfront location in a quiet area was lovely and it was a quick and easy drive to dining and shopping. House was very comfortable, we loved the living room with lots of space to hang out, and the deck overlooking the lake was great. Kitchen was well equipped. Would definitely stay again.
This place was perfect for our group! Close enough to town for grabbing dinner or coffee, but far enough away to be peaceful and relaxing. Kids enjoyed the paddleboards and kayaks and playing in the lake everyday. Would definitely stay at this property again!
Thanks
The home was fantastic! Location was perfect for us. Beautiful sunset every single night! The house was well stocked with kitchen items and plenty of linens.*MAKE SURE TOU DOWNLOAD THE CHECK-IN INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ARRIVING* We arrived to the house and there is very limited cell service to pull up the instructions once you arrive. We contacted via phone and was quickly able to get it sorted out. All in all, it was a memorable trip for us. Will definitely be back!
Loved the location
Good host and nice places to stay..
The house was very cozy. The location was okay but it was a little farther from all of the activities than desired - the house appeared way more roomier in the pictures than it actually was. The upstairs was way too hot and the air conditioner was not present for us to use. We had 8 guests, and not enough towels for everyone to shower. The firepit is a great asset, however, the chairs were absolutely filthy. They had bird poo on them and were covered in spider webs. We had to clean them before we could use. Not ideal, as we expected ready to use and not something we had to get user ready. Said we could use Kayaks, etc., but everything was locked up, there was one kayak not locked up. The house was clean, but it had a musty smell. The communication on property rules, check out, were easy to understand, prompt and clear. However, I think it was a little spendy for what was actually provided.
The perfect Midwest getaway location for our East Coast and West Coast families to meet. Unexpectedly delightful. Awesome sunsets and fire pit. $4 a bundle firewood all over town. Host was very responsive.
This was a beautiful spot on the lake that looks just as amazing as the photos! The hosts were extremely friendly and responsive to questions we had. I’d recommend it to any friend looking for a getaway!
The place was good, but they didn't leave toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, and other supplies that usually come with the place. The mobile ACs upstairs were not working properly and was hot , the circuit breaker was keep tripping, per Simple Life rep they know about the AC issues and they didn't take care of it.
Overall, not worth the money for the condition of the home. One bedroom had a real bed instead of the fouton showed in pics which was nice. The ceiling fan in the bedroom that did not have an AC unit was loud unless kept on low. The window AC units smelled like mouse urine and appered dirty. They also would not maintain the temp we set them at. Spiders in the corners of dining room, bathroom, and bedrooms. Both decks and the exterior were covered in cobwebs and spiders. I understand were out in nature but there were so many spiders and webs on the house/decks and all furniture we could not enjoy it. They need pest control outside and inside. The chairs by fire pit were also dirty and covered in old cobwebs, we had to clean them before use. Life jacketets, paddle boards, kyaks were also not clean.
Lovely weekend getaway!
Heidaway cottage was the perfect place for a quick weekend retreat! Ease of location and walk-in clean and friendly welcome were the best features to note. We had no issues during our stay and would be happy to return. Thank you for the wonderful stay.
