Perfect location, perfect house
Our stay was exactly as we'd hoped and so close to downtown Sister Bay and Peninsula State Park that we were able to easily venture out, even in a snow storm!

Beautiful home near all Door County has to offer
We really enjoyed our time at Starkhaus! It is an easy walk or very short drive into Sister Bay, where you can enjoy the beach, marina, restaurants, and shops. It is also an easy drive to Newport State Park, Ellison Bay, Bailey's Harbor, etc. In short, we were able to kayak, hike, see the Cana Island Lighthouse, visit the Ridges Sanctuary, etc. within only a 15-20 minute drive. Lovely! The home itself was great for a large group. We had 5 adults and 4 kids. The basement was a fun hangout spot, and the upstairs living/dining/kitchen area was as well. The beds were comfy and everything was clean an modern. There is also a very nice screened-in porch. The home is surrounded by trees, so that you feel private and secluded, even though you are close to town. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, utensils, etc. but does not have olive oil or other basics other than salt/pepper. Overall, we would definitely stay here again. Great house, great location!

A great place to gather our family!
We had a wonderful time staying at Starkhaus! We had 10 adults and 4 young children for our family gathering. The location was perfect, the kitchen well-stocked, and there was room for everyone. We gathered around the fire pit, enjoyed the game room, ate meals around the table and just hung out and watched the little ones play. Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay! Great space and location!
Our family of 10 which included 4 kids under 10 stayed here for spring break and it was the perfect space for our family! Very clean and well stocked. Wonderful lower level with game room and two bedrooms and a full bath plus a living space with TV, kitchenette, pool table, shuffle board. Upper level open concept with three bedrooms, great kitchen space and two living room spaces. Great fire pit with plenty of chairs! The hosts were very attentive, kind and helpful. We will definitely stay here here again on our next visit to Door County it was truly the perfect set up for our large group. We made some great memories!
