Wonderful stay in Ellison Bay
We spent 3 nights here during Fall Festival. It was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The location was perfect - a short walk to a couple restaurants but not in the middle of all the Sister Bay festival traffic. Although we've been coming to Door for many years - Darla gave us some helpful advice on when to avoid the major crowds over the Festival weekend. Only thing that was a little disappointing was no fire allowed in the fireplace. I get it, it can make a mess and if guests don't know how to work a flue it could be a problem. But that was a small thing - really great stay overall!

Perfect experience
I didn't know much about Door County, but couldn't have chosen a better place if I would have spent a month investigating. No bumper-to-bumper traffic or huge crowds, but you're minutes away from all the wonderful attractions in Door County. Very comfortable and relaxing. Neat places steps away. Mink Basin is remarkable with great food and serving neat Wisconsin beers. There's also a nice coffee shop and grocery store steps away. Also a nice park a few minutes away. Couldn't have been better. If this weren't available if we get to come back, I would alter our plans for when it is available.

Cute place at a beautiful destination
It was a cute place for my husband and I to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We didn’t realize it was attached to the antique store when booking, but it was very private and comfortable. Ellison Bay was a great place to stay in Door County since it isn’t as big as Sister Bay so it’s quieter. It’s in walking distance to good restaurants and a couple nice coffee shops. It’s a short drive to good hiking and many activities. Great place to stay!

Comfortable and Quiet in Ellison Bay
We really enjoyed our stay in Ellison Bay. Darla was a great host. We went non-stop from morning to late afternoon and never ran out of fun things to do. It was nice to retreat to a comfortable place each evening. The kitchen was adequately equipped so we were able to make our meals and avoid the need to go out for food. The place also has a good collection of tourist information flyers that helped us find some interesting places during our stay (e.g., art studio). Overall, this was a great place to relax.

Anniversary Trip to Door County
My husband and I enjoyed our stay in Ellison Bay. This was a kid free anniversary trip for us and we found the property perfect for the two of us. It was clean, the bed was comfortable, and we took advantage of the stocked board games and dvd collection. The weather was rainy and overcast for most of our 3 day stay, but we stayed very busy hopping all around the county and found the location was great as a home base. We ate next door at the Mink River Basin one night and thought the food was very good. Two coffee shops less than a minute walk and the beach is very close as well.

Wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful stay - Darla was an excellent host. It was perfect for an anniversary trip! Great location as it is east to drive anywhere in door county we loved having Ellison Bay as our “home base”. We would definitely stay here again. The only thing I will say is that we were surprised that it was not a standalone home, it is an end unit of a little strip. Connected is another unit and an adorable antique shop. It ended up feeling very private we were just surprised as we drove up.

Fall getaway
We very much enjoyed our stay here. The interior is very clean and well maintained, and our host even popped in for a quick visit after we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed. There are coffee shops and a small grocery store very close by (easy walking distance), and of course abundant natural beauty, hiking, restaurants etc. One small note: although this didn’t bother us, those who need to WFH while on vacation might want someplace with a stronger Wi-Fi. It works, but only in the front half of the house and the signal can be spotty. But that’s not what we came for so we weren’t bothered.

GREAT property!!! Very clean and spacious. Fully stocked with everything we needed. Host is AWESOME!!! The only tiny thing I would mention is the WIFI was pretty iffy at the property, and since our phones were not getting a Verizon signal, we needed WIFI almost all the time but we found it at every establishment we went in so it all worked out. We would stay here again in a Heart Beat. Thank You!

Perfect little getaway
This place was perfect for a little getaway to unplug. It's a cute setup and had everything we needed to make us feel at home. It's a great location attached to an antique shop, next to a wonderful coffee shop, and 2 doors down from an awesome pub, Mink River Basin. You won't be disappointed by the pub's food, bourbon and beer selections and arcade room! Darla, the Host was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back again.
