Wonderful Door County Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Three Little Birds. The cottage was absolutely beautiful. The amenities were fantastic even for our dog. We loved how tastefully decorated the cottage was, and how they left instructions/stickers on how to use everything. We felt at home, and we cannot wait to return to this cottage. Thank you!

I booked this spot to surprise my partner with her friends for her birthday and it beat my expectations by a mile. Great for entertaining and relaxing. Incredibly clean, great view of the lake for only a short walk and within 15 minutes of shopping and downtown activities. Would definitely stay here again.

Door County Family Vacation

We had a family gathering with adult children, my 90 year old dad, plus two dogs, and the house was perfect. The kitchen is well stocked, and we loved the various porches and outdoor spaces for relaxing. Beautiful location in the woods, a short walk to the water, great for running, and a short drive to all the nearby towns. The fire pit in the back was awesome. I highly recommend this property!

Great stay!

Three Birds is a lovely house, very comfortable for our group of two adults and five teens. The house is well appointed with everything we needed and the space was really great for board games, movies and porch time plus good proximity to all Door County has to offer. Easy communication with the management team, too. Five stars all around!

Excellent property and place to stay. Very clean and spacious. Cell service is a challenge at this property so take that into account. Wifi got better with an updated Starlink platform. We have stayed here in the past and plan to stay at this property again.

Great place to stay! The cabin is very comfortable and setup well as a rental property with items labeled and instructions. The only improvement we noted was that the instructions posted in the cabin for dogs and garbage removal at check out were slightly different than the emailed instructions. The email said dogs must be in a crate if left alone, the posted instructions inside the cabin said it is recommended. We took our dogs when we left, so it wasn't an issue. The email said to remove the trash at check out, but the instructions on the fridge said the cleaners would take it out. We took it out. All in all, this is a great place to stay in door county.

Girls retirement getaway

Myself and 4 friends who have all retired within the last year decided to celebrate with a mini girls vacay.. the house was more beautiful then the pictures, extremely clean and comfortable. There was enough room for all 5 of us to have a own beds, we did not want to leave. The only thing i could recommend would be handles to get into shower. Was a wonderful time at your beautiful 3 little birds house.

Amazing!!!!

Three Little Birds was a perfect place for our family to vacation in Door County! Unfortunately our Jamaican vacation was canceled due to hurricane Beryl. We were able to quickly grab this amazing property and feel so lucky it was somehow available last minute. The setting was beautiful!!! The home was immaculate and had anything and everything you could possibly need on your vacation! The owners truly want you to have the best vacation and for you to be comfortable in their home. Seriously couldn’t have asked for a better spot!!!! Highly recommend!
