Very nice - BUT YOU CANNOT SHOWER

Wonderful home base for door County

Howard house is a perfect home from home in Bailey’s Harbor, Door County. Everything in the northern peninsula is within a 20 minute drive. The house is recently renovated, and very clean with all the amenities needed for a pleasant vacation, including tv and fast internet. There was plenty of room for the two of us, and a larger group would also be comfortable. Everything we needed for meal prep and cleanup was there in the beautiful kitchen/dining space, and the laundry facilities are excellent and very quick and easy to use for washing and drying clothes mid vacation. Check in was very easy, and the owners gave us all the information we needed when we needed it. Full marks to the owners for providing a wonderful experience.

Birthday weekend

This house was perfect as a base of operations for a weekend in Door County. With great food, a winery, and Door County Brewing in walking distance we did not feel like we had to drive all over the peninsula in order to have a great experience. The house was well equipped and very comfortable for 2 couples.

Perfect in every way

I can’t say enough good things about this property! Spotlessly clean, upscale furnishings and appliances, obvious attention and thought toward quality, even the little things like labeling and small containers of baking soda and baking powder, in addition to flour and sugar - everything you need or want in a vacation home. Would most definitely stay here again!
