We loved our stay. The cabin has a beautiful view of the lake. Although it felt very private and secluded it was a short drive to Sister Bay. We were very comfortable.

Family Memories Made
The cottage is so cozy. The outdoor space is beyond amazing, we spent almost all our time outside. A fire pit, beachfront, and pier allowed us to make so many memories. And family game nights at the kitchen table were a hit! The cottage was exactly as pictured and did not disappoint at all!! We definitely hope to be back next year.

Wonderful Lakehouse, Amazing Location!
Such a beautiful, quiet, private location! The Fleetwing has everything you need for a weekend (or longer) getaway, we were very comfortable. Property Manager Jen is great! She was very helpful and responsive throughout our stay. I highly recommend this property, and I just can't say enough about the location!

Lake serenity
We were looking for a place that would remind us of the quiet of the cabin in Canada owned by our family. This location nailed it. Quiet location, gorgeous view, loons, ducks, deer. A wonderful opportunity to decompress away from hubub of life, but civilization was only a short drive away. The host helped us resolve a typo on the VRBO typo. We are planning to use this location again.

Great views of Garrett Bay (In Lake Michigan)! Interesting one-level cottage, so no stairs. Comfortable beds and plenty of supplies (toilet paper, salt & pepper, zip-lock bags, towels, firewood, etc). Hostess was very responsive to requests.

Garrett Bay Cottage
The view is spectacular. We saw pelicans and egrets. You will need the insect repellent Jen makes available. In the evening what appears to be biting flies come out. We were still able to make s’mores. Jen was quick to respond to my questions. There was plenty of room for five adults and a six year old. Fleetwing cottage is exactly as described.

The views are spectacular! So relaxing with the water And waves rolling in. If you want a secluded and nature filled vacation this is the spot! You can also head into the busier towns for shopping and restaurants. The owners are wonderful people!

Great place to stay with a beautiful view
We like the "quieter" side of door county when we stay. This is a great place to stay right on the lake. Super quiet and convenient for the 2 dogs we brought. 5 minutes away from Sister Bay. We will definitely stay again. Great host! Quick with answers to questions.

Peaceful getaway
It was so peaceful to wake up to waves rolling in from the lake. The house was a perfect set-up for myself and my adult granddaughter who was celebrating her 23rd birthday. Jen was very helpful and communicative and gave me some good advice about the restaurant I intended to visit for a birthday dinner. Fall at the tip of Door County is beautiful and we enjoyed every minute. My granddaughter would like to come back next year with her friends!

Wonderful Stay
What else can I say other than I love Door County and I love staying at this property. The Fleetwing is a nice quaint cottage, literally on the shore of Lake Michigan. Being close to the water is a must-have when I stay in Door County, and this year I was entertained by watching some pretty amazing waves. The area is quiet and there are lots of options close by for enjoying nature (another must-have for me). Jen is a great host and I hope to stay at the Fleetwing again!

Perfect Location!
The property owner was very communicative and friendly. We were drawn to the property by the lakefront access and it did not disappoint. There were kayaks for guest to use so we spent the afternoon kayaking and hanging out by the pier. For the price, it was really a great deal. We also loved that the property felt secluded but was a short drive to the Sister Bay action. I highly recommend this property if you are looking to connect with nature and still have access to all the fun things Sister Bay has to offer.

The VRBO cottage was very nice. Everything was as advertised. Beautiful waterfront property, very private location for a very comfortable stay. Ellison Bay 5 minute drive, Sister Bay 12 minute drive to many things to do if you do not want to relax by the outside fire pit with friends. Property manager went above and beyond.

Beautiful view
We rented this property for a girls weekend. It has 5 beds, so we all had our own place to sleep. It was the perfect spot with a beautiful view. The bird feeder drew all kinds of interesting birds. It was very clean and we loved the wood burning fireplace. We would definitely come back! The owner has great communication and shared tons of good recommendations which we really appreciated!
