A Great Weekend
Because my husband was injured in a recent bicycle accident, this was not an active trip for us. The Chalet was perfect; great view, comfortable house, and restaurants close by. We strolled with our dog, saw some beautiful sunsets, and enjoyed watching birds at the two feeders while sitting by the bay. A very restorative getaway!

Girls getaway
We had the best time at this cozy cottage! The view is stunning, making for many slow mornings listening to the waves crash, and evening spent by the fire under the clearest skies and stars. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed, and close to everything. Jen’s recommendations for restaurants were wonderful and we enjoyed cooking meals in the sweet kitchen that reminded me of my summers at family cabins growing up. The beds were all super comfortable as well. We absolutely will be back and can’t wait to explore more!!

Get Away by the Bay
My husband, I and our Portuguese Water Dog spent a long weekend at the Chalet. The house was just as advertised, not new, but very comfortable, a fantastic view, and all the amenities we required. A bonus was finding the complete collection of Walter Farley’s “ Black Stallion” books in the bookcase. I read them all as a child and was delighted to see them again! Daisy the dog also gives the place “ four paws up”.

A lovely getaway on the water!
My spouse and I really enjoyed staying at the Chalet! The location was amazing, and being right by the water was delightful. We'll have to come back when the dock is in, and when we can kayak. Jen was a responsive and thoughtful host, and we greatly appreciate her hospitality.

The property is located right on Lake/Bay. It is a beautiful location. The property is tired. The beds were really great for sleeping. The views from inside the house on the lake side were wonderful. It was a dreary time that we were there but it allowed us time to explore the parks and Washington Island. Wickman House was exceptional!

Beautiful location
The Chalet is located in wooded area on Garrett's Bay. It was quiet and peaceful. The Chalet is very well maintained, nicely decorated, with all the amenities you'd want in a lakefront cabin. The hot tub was an extra treat. There are a handful of restaurants, I highly recommend Blue Bear for breakfast, and drinking establishments, Cider House was great, the location does require some driving to points of intrest, though nothing is more than 30 minutes away. I highly recommend The Chalet for anyone looking for a quiet family retreat. I'm hoping to plan another stay next year with my sons family.

This is not a house. It is your home away from home. From arrival to our saddened departure, we were relaxed, rejuvenated and reminded of the wonderful people in this world like these VRBO owners. Thank you! We will be back!

Relaxing Fall Weekend
We had a wonderful long weekend at the property - the location is spectacular with not only the beautiful water view but the night sky was unbelievable. If you are a star gazer this is the place for you - or you can take a short drive to the Newport State Park which holds a dark-sky designation. The house itself is cozy and comfortable, we had everything we needed. Though not directly in town, everything we needed, as in grocery store, etc was close enough. We felt like we got to know the area and surrounding towns of Ellison Bay, Sister Bay and Gills Rock quite well and enjoyed restaurants, galleries and a wonderful hike in Newport State Park. And when we had one question about the house the owner responded immediately. We would definitely go back!

Location!
Great remote location! The views of the Bay were beautiful when the wind wasn't kicking up. Unfortunately, our weather didn't cooperate so we didn't get to enjoy outdoor activities except a few walks with the dogs. But a fantastic country road! We were able to enjoy some local spots and not too far away, we visited Door County Brewery & Hatch Distillery. Had a wonderful meal at The English Inn. Thanks again for a comfortable stay in this quiet location. Gene & Merrie
