Great location with beautiful views. Had some issues in the house and we wished that there was more attention to these issues before we checked in. Enjoyed the pontoon ride very much. Thank you.
We had a fabulous stay - such a lovely home and beautiful setting. Our group had 8 adults and 6 children ages 1-9, and there was so much to enjoy for everyone. Thank you!
My family stayed her over Labor Day weekend. It's in an excellent location with everything you need. I have 3 younger boys and they loved the house amenities along with the outdoor options - pond, swimming, fishing. We also brought our own boat and had plenty of room to park it and the house is in close proximity to a couple boat launches. We will gladly be back!
My husband and I spent a wonderful week here with our children, grandchildren, and extended family.
Having both the North and South Units for two families to stay was amazing. It was a perfect family reunion spot. I have already recommended it to others.
We were able to enjoy the fishing and swimming in the pond, campfires and playing games throughout the week.
The home was family friendly. The host, Bill, was
Very welcoming. Thank you!
It's hard to find a place good for our adult children, spouses and kids. This was it. Beach in front, channel out back, big yard for yard games, great firepit nights. The pond had a great beach for kids, and we made good use of all the watercraft. Even got some fishing in.Bill captained us around in his boat, it would also be great to dock a boat. The channel is beautiful. Bill was easily available to help with anything. The house had a great layout and beautiful details. Parents of little ones got the bedrooms and adult children bunked together, like the old days. Everyone said they would definitely do this again.

Family Vacation
The location on the channel was new to us. We enjoyed the views, especially the wildlife. The pond with a beach was great for the younger kids. The condo could use upgrading. The upstairs shower/tub had a large crack in it. The tile in the bathroom was loose and unstable. Many of the tv's did not work. The kitchen faucet needs to be replaced. The basement had a funky smell and was not inviting. Overall the house was large enough for our large family but it needs some tlc.
There were 15 people total including a 2-1/2 year old and a 5 month old baby. Bill our host was very responsive to our needs and even had a pack n play for the 2-1/2 yo. He was usually around the area available if we needed anything. The house was wonderful. A lot of time spent fishing in the pond and having bonfires at night. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and pots and pans. There are even 3 crockpots which came in handy because we made food in advance so we didn’t need to go out much. Used crockpots for sloppy joes and pulled pork-just to warm up and keep warm. Bedrooms are comfortable and the downstairs was great for kids - 2 bunk beds worked out great for 4 kids. There is a double futon in the game room area which our daughter slept in one night and said it was very comfortable. One bedroom has 3 queen size beds. That room worked well for our son and his young family ages 5 and under. All in all this is a great place to make many happy memories. I highly recommend it. And our host Bill was wonderful.
The home was spacious with a beautiful location. Home offered alot of activities for our grandchildren-boating, kayaking, fishing and plenty of grass for kite flying! It also provided lots of seating for adults.
We enjoyed a family vacation with ages 4-75. House was as described in description and the location was great. The owner, Bill was great to deal with and is ready to answer all of your questions.
We would definitely return.
This was for a girls weekend and it was great. Nice place, amazing master bathroom, open concept, great neighborhood. TVs did not work well and some things could be upgraded for the price of the place.
Such a great place to have our family vacation. The location on the water, private pond with kayaks and canoes, and gaming center in the basement makes this a fantastic place to gather with so many activities to keep everyone happy. The highlight was the pontoon ride with Captain Bill. He took us all over the beautiful bay and canal and ended with a literal bang watching the Sturgeon Bag 4th of July fireworks from the pontoon. Best fireworks experience we’ve ever had! Bill was such a great host, and my family loved getting to chat with him. We even learned he dug/built the pond himself!
We had such a great week here! Check in was so easy. Communication with Bill was great. We loved meeting his very friendly dogs! The house was incredibly clean and had plenty of towels, dishes, etc for a big group of people. We loved the kitchen appliances and laundry facilities. Bedrooms were excellent. Bathrooms were, too. The pond was cute and perfect for fishing. Kids and adults were able to catch and release dozens of fish! So convenient to have that just a few steps away. We spent a lot of time sitting around the pond, using the small boats available, playing in the sand, and fishing. The grill was great. Plenty of seating and umbrellas out there. We appreciated the stash of life vests available. Highly recommend this house! It’s a great place to stay while visiting Door County. We made day trips to almost all of the towns between Sturgeon Bay and Sister Bay - easy drives to make! Thanks for a wonderful week!
We had a blast at this Sturgeon Bay property. The kids (and adults) had fun in the private pond - paddle boarding, kayaking, and paddle boating. We even tried our hand fishing a few times! It was so convenient to have fun water activities just a few a feet away from the property. The only suggestion would be to refresh the towels that are made available as they were somewhat worn with occasional holes . Other than that, it’s a great property for a family of all ages! Bill was attentive and there to greet us upon arrival and wish us farewell on checkout. Very satisfied!
My family loves to be together for any occasion. We have such a large group (13) 6 adults and 7 grandchildren.. we have a hard time getting a house to fit us, this house was perfect.. the host Bill was the best we’ve ever had. We rented his pontoon boat and he offered to drive us … he was wonderful, took us to a couple of beaches and a restaurant all the while he waited for us.. told us so much about the area. You’d never get that driving yourself.
The house was so clean, there’s a pond out front and the kids had fun playing in there, there’s a fire pit and we used it to enjoy the night. Also kept the bugs away…
The house includes more than the usual.. we didn’t need to bring extra paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, dishwashing machine soap, Or laundry soap.
The view from the other side of the house has spectacular sunsets, bald eagles, pelicans, and boats of all kinds.. large lawn we played bags, and other games!
We, our whole family would recommend this house to everyone.. we’ll probably be back..
thanks Bill for a great experience!
The house was accommodating for our entire family which was great. Our overall impression though was tainted because the first day we arrived, the air conditioning was broken. Bill gave us fans but that didn't cut it. After 2 days, he had someone come out and they told us the AC unit wasn't big enough to cool the entire house. The next day a bedroom AC was installed but it still didn't cool off all the rooms. We ended up having to rearrange people (especially the kids) and it was just annoying to not be able to have consistent AC during a hot week. It was just something you wouldn't think for the price we paid to stay there, that we would have to deal with. My mom's house isn't as big as that house was she has a stronger/bigger AC unit. Besides the AC not working, there were minor cosmetic things with the house that my mom talked to Bill about. Again, nothing major though except for the AC.
The kids enjoyed the swimming and fishing pond which was great to have during the hot week. You also couldn't beat the view of the water. We rented a boat and it was so nice to just pull up right to the house to pick everyone up. The kids thought that was so awesome! The fish/swim pond was stocked with fish and the look on their faces when they caught one, totally priceless. So overall we had a good time except for the AC issue. We did wish the house was closer to town/shops but again, there were other things to love about the location like the water and swimming/fish pond.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Door County and had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. There was plenty of room for 14 adults (1 king bed, 5 queen beds and 2 twin beds) and 4 bathrooms. The kitchen and living area were more than spacious for all of us to sit around and talk, play games and The weather cooperated with us and we were able to spend time outdoors on the patio and also by the fire pit.
This was an amazing weekend for my wife, family, friends and I. We had a 60 guest wedding in the property backyard. The location and property are perfect for a small wedding venue. The property owner/manager Bill was amazing. I can't say enough!
We were greeted by Bill Hopf and he was extremely accommodating. Started our campfire, made sure we had enough chairs to sit around it and was close so we could get questions answered.
The property was very nice. There is a pond associated with the property. It is well maintained and clean with a small sandy beach. We were there with our grandchildren and the beach and pond was well used by them.
Excellent property – we would stay there again anytime

We totally enjoyed our stay at Bill’s house in Sturgeon Bay. The layout was perfect for our group and everyone had a lot of fun fishing in the pond on property. Bill was always available if we needed anything. His prompt service was always top-notch. Thank you for an excellent week in door county.
