A very clean cottage with great views.

This property is very clean with several outside areas, including a modern playground. We had a very nice time with great views of the lake. The three season porch was used often since we managed to visit at lake/may fly time (they don't bite, but do swarm). We look forward to visiting again in October.

Perfect home base for our Door County getaway. This home had everything we needed. Waking up to a vast sunrise and the sound of gentle waves breaking on the rocky shoreline was an amazing start to the day! I would definitely stay here again.

Get away just the 2 of us!

Sitting in the back yard listening to the waves, sipping coffee and watching the sunrise are the moments I will always treasure. Visiting the winery and the markets in door county was so fun! We found the best Market was Wienkes, only 1 mile from the house. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Enjoyed our stay at the sweet Little Hidden Cottage.. It’s a beautiful location right on the lake, and a beautiful place to come home to from hiking and shopping ithe bustle of the Penninsula .

Heaven

For someone who grew on the shores of Lake Michigan, I could not have been in a more perfect spot with my family. We loved the location, the water, the amenities, the short drive to all the fun Door County towns. The house was so cute, and had everything inside and out that a family of 5 would need. I would stay there again in a heartbeat if the opportunity ever presented itself. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Location, Location Location!!

I first want to say that, overall, this was exactly what wife my and I needed and expected. that being said, this is obviously a 1950's-ish lakeside house. The host has done a lot of good work in doing some updates, but...if you are looking for pure luxury and space...this isn't for you. Then again, if you are renting this for that...you're missing out...because the highlights are the very secluded, private location and the spectacular view. We would definitely stay here again!

This hidden place was so amazing. I wish we could have stayed longer. They had easy to access kayaks, life jackets, and the bikes, you name it they had it. I am interested to see what the other little gems they have to offer are like. It was clean had many amenities for us guest. The BUGS were the only things that were annoying but doable.

Amazing Stay

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hidden Shores! The property was gorgeous. The cabin was updated, comfortable, and clean. We enjoyed the three seasons room with great view of the lake! They had everything we could possibly need for a family with small children and a dog. We greatly enjoyed the adventure shed and all that was available. We used the fire pit and the outdoor deck daily. It was a wonderful starting off point for exploring the rest of Door County. Thanks for the great accommodations!

Beautiful lakeshore cottage

My wife and I stayed four rainy days at the cottage. The rental is well equipped, particularly for young active families. The lake is just out the back door, there is a large deck for viewing. The lakeshore is rocky but the water looks shallow with a sandy bottom. We enjoyed warm fires in the fireplace. The cottage is a great location forexploring Door County and nearby Weinke's Market is a wonderful place for local produce and preserves. I think a space heater in the three seasons room would be a welcome addition on colder Fall days.

Mostly good time

This property is really in a great location and we loved being right by the lake. The home itself was great as far as space went- little short on closet space. We spent much time in the family room. Beautiful views of lake. We however had concerns about some issues like very dirty garbage can in living area-had to bleach it to get rid of smell, bathroom sick was clogged, outdoor grills were both so rusted and dirty that we couldn’t use either. Fire pit was also dirty. When we arrived at home we had to sanitize all the utensils- per notice on refrigerator. So these issues really put a damper on our stay.

Adventure with a Twist

Loved Hidden Shores Cottage. It is a great place to go on vacation,enjoy the quiet,, have a cup a coffee and just take in Lake Michigan. The cottage was furnished with much more than we expected so we did not have to bring everything we did. Even my corgi was relaxed and enjoyed being able to roll his favorite ball around. What we didn't expect was a bad storm that knocked out the power for a few hours and the terrential rain that came with the storm. After we were able to get a hold of Emily she kept in contact with us to make sure everything was ok. Until next time....your adventure awaits!
