“Great location! Very calming and the cottage was beautiful and comfortable! Beds were comfortable with more than enough extra pillows and blankets! Very clean and Dana was very accommodating on our schedules. Highly recommend!”

“Forgot your toothbrush? No problem! Dana’s pristine home is so well stocked that he even has toothbrushes out for your use. Everything was perfect, clean, well furnished, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, soft sheets, great pillows. Great water pressure in the showers. Plenty of coffee and creamer, both keurig and a regular pot. AC and heat both cool or heat the house quickly. We enjoyed walking the well maintained grounds. …”

“the house was spacious and beautiful the yard and fire pit was large for enough people to sit around. Loved the sunroom which we sat in the mornings. Everything was great close to restaurants and shopping. The owner went way beyond and above to supply things most houses do not. Will definitely stay there againDorothy”

“OMG, absolutely fabulous. The setting was so beautiful and so was the home. Absolutely well stocked they thought of everything. Convenient to Sturgeon Bay downtown and also easy drive north along the beautiful coast and to Washington Island. Our friends that stayed with us raved about it.”
★★★★★
“This property on Sturgeon Bay is beautiful with many cooking supplies, appliances, and general food items. The house was equipped with games, and the beds were comfortable. While water access was limited, we were able to enjoy the kayaks and great views; note that guests aren’t able to swim right by the property due to the marshes. …”

“We had a great stay for our family of 10 (several kids). The easy access to the outdoors was perfect for the kids to run around. Large dining table indoor and outdoors was ideal for meals. Dana was responsive and flexible. Can’t go wrong staying here- was lovely.”
★★★★★
“We absolutely loved Dana's place! It was the perfect way to spend the weekend with family. The location was so peaceful- one of the mornings we all got out on the lake together, since the house is so well equipped with kayaks and the canoe. The interior of the house was wonderful- SO well stocked and a great space for a large group. We all had our own rooms but the layout of the house encouraged really nice family time. …”

“Such a peaceful place to stay! Our toddler absolutely loved playing in the huge yard. The setting was beautiful and very quiet. It was the perfect getaway. Was amazed by how well the house was stocked too! Everything that you would need or may have forgotten was available there. The yard games were a nice touch as well”
★★★★★
“Dana´s place is incredible. Beautiful views, everything you could possibly need available at the home, quiet and serene. It was a perfect place for a quiet time with family. We spent all the mornings going out on the harbor in the kayaks. It was magical. Dana also has all the supplies you might need for a little one. We have a 1 year old so this was much appreciated. The house is spacious and as described. …”

“Sawyer Harbor Retreat is amazing! Quiet, peaceful, private location. Immaculately clean. Generous abundance of high quality amenities. Great attention to small details that made for a delightful stay. We especially enjoyed the campfire area! I love to cook and the kitchen had everything needed and much much more. We hope to return next year.”
★★★★★
“Wonderful location, thoughtful extras at the cabin, and a great spot for starting our adventures! Loved sitting on the three-season porch listening to the storms roll through. We'll come again and have a nice fire next time!”
★★★★★
“We had such a great stay at Dana’s place! Honestly, it had everything you could think of. The fireplace made it super cozy, and there were so many board games that we actually ended up staying in one night just to play and chill. Dana really thought of all the little things—there were plenty of utensils for cooking, snacks available, and coffee ready for the mornings, which was a nice touch. …”

“Booked for a girls weekend and it was the PERFECT spot!! This place had such a homey feel the second you pull in the driveway. You’re not too far from some great wineries, and we loved coming back to cook dinner, play games, and drink wine! The end of our trip got hit with a blizzard, and the shovels left out were LIFESAVERS!! Will definitely be booking another stay here!”
