Relaxing Family Stay

This was a beautiful, spacious home that provided plenty of rooms for our family. There was a nice outdoor fire pit area, but it wasn’t right behind the house. It was a short walk through the wooded property. Unfortunately the master bedroom shower was not functioning during our stay.

Beautiful home, Great location

Lovely home with plenty of room for our group. We were unable to use the master suite shower due to a leak and that was unfortunate. It would have been nice to be compensated for the inconvenience.

Spacious

There is space to be alone, space to be together and space to put things, even with a group of eight who over pack for a two week stay. Even the bathrooms are spacious with cabinets galore. The deck was great for socializing and exercising and the windows onto the forest bring the outside in. The eight seat patio table made outdoor dining pleasurable. We wanted for nothing, except for maybe a decent can opener. Simply put, this is a first class place. The VRBO method of communicating with the owner through the web site, however, needs attention. Once I was given his direct contact, everything went well.

Fall

Weather perfect. The oven was a problem as we were able to use it as it did not work. The option that they provided to us was not acceptable it did not cook as an oven would have. We would of lined a tv I. The gathering area to watch sports. Having the tv up stairs was inconvenient to our family. The house it’s self was wonderful. Hope the oven gets fixed before other book this house

For the money minimal improvements are needed

Beautiful setting, beautiful home needs some minor improvements. Bottom outside front step is hazardous. All Towels are tired and need to be replaced. Several coffee cups chipped. Refrigerator door doesn’t close appropriately, close 1 door and the other door opened. Unable to prepare planned meals, due to oven not functioning, although the owner did make us aware of it the day before our arrival. Didn’t provide soap for showering. Accustomed to soap provided at previous VRBOS we stayed at.

Annual Trip to Door County

We have been coming to Door County with our extended family for over 20 years. This is the first time we stayed at this property. The home was well maintained and exceeded our expectations. The location was centralized located which gave us easy access to the entire pennisula. We would highly recommend staying at this property.

Door County Get Away

We spent a week at this property with four friends. We are all “seniors”. The property is spacious and comfortable. The location is perfect to access Fish Creek, Ephraim, Sister Bay and Bailey’s Harbor. Our only suggestion is to be a bit more generous with sticking supplies. We had to buy garbage bags, dishwasher soap, toilet paper and laundry soap during our stay-which is inconvenient and expensive. Our host did offer to reimburse us for garbage bags. We have not had this happen in the numerous VRBO’s we have visited. However, it is still a beautiful property in a great location.

Great family home

We enjoyed our 7-day stay in Door County at this home. The location was great - very short (<5 minute) drive into Fish Creek for shopping and food. We appreciated the games, puzzles, and book selection, both for adults and our two children (ages 3 and 5). The home was exceptionally clean and the huge laundry room with mud room was a huge bonus!

Perfect Thanksgiving Weekend Getaway

This was our 3rd time staying at Five Birches for Thanksgiving and we had a great time. The kitchen works great for cooking our big meal and there is plenty of space for the whole family - all 8 of us! The outdoor fire pit is our favorite place to gather and relax. The stars were great this year too. Todd the owner is super easy to work with and accommodating, very responsive when we needed to get ahold of him upon our checkin. Hoping to be back again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Todd or Lisa

Host profile image
Lisa and Todd live near Baltimore, Maryland but both have paternal roots in the midwest. They love good food, good wine, and slow travel and want to share their love of hedonism with you!

Why they chose this property

My grandfather Edward bought this property around 1970 and it passed to my father in 2004. My father and I cleared the home site together in 2008 in preparation for my parents to build, but they both passed away before construction could begin. Lisa and I had fallen in love with the area and decided to continue their plans to build a home here in Door County. My mother named it Five Birches after the grove of birch trees outside the master bedroom.

What makes this property unique

Our favorite things about Five Birches is that it is essentially our own design, the proximity to Fish Creek and the bay, and the private meadow down the trail from the house.
