Available to answer all questions and concerns of ours before we arrived and after we arrived. We rented the Glidden Drive House both times, home is clean, spacious, beautiful views of Lake Michigan, right on the water. Four bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths worked fine for our family of 10. Super starting off point for many day trips to varioius areas of Door County and then coming home to our Lake Michigan vacation spot, just lovely. Would recommend to all!

My family has been going to Robertson's Cottages since before I was born and this place truly holds…read moresome of my favorite childhood memories. Owned by a family that couldn't be nicer or more accommodating, this is THE place to stay in Door County. You're on the edge of the peninsula and you have a gorgeous view of Potawatomi State Park and Sturgeon Bay along the lake. They have a few cottages for rent, though, since it's family owned and operated, a lot of the same families that have known these people for years continue to book it up every summer. It's definitely worth checking into, though. Each of the cottages can accommodate a different number of people, so whether you have 2 people in your group, or 7, they can find a place for you. If it's your thing, they also own 2 cottages on an island in the middle of the bay, so the only way to or from the cottage is by boat. I think that's pretty cool! Only about 20 minutes away from downtown Sturgeon Bay, it offers the perfect combination rural and small-town life. The roads leading to it are rarely traveled, so my family likes to take long bike rides along the roads and we're rarely caught around cars. It's also close to Sherwood Point Lighthouse and quite a few other rental cottages. The cottages themselves aren't air conditioned, though the weather is usually pretty cool near the lake. The only other rough condition is the spider and insect population. You're in the middle of the woods, so you have to know you're visiting their world, but I couldn't handle the amount of bug-life I had to endure. I'm kind of an indoor girl, so it's a little more than I can handle after a long period of time. Just for vacation, though, I can try and make my peace with living with the spiders. **shudder** My family and I will continue to visit Robertson's in the future, though, and it'll still be one of the highlights of the year!!

I was so excited to book this stay in a tiny house in Sturgeon Bay. It exceeded expectations by…read morefar! Right on the bay with parking right outside of the house. It was like a little slice of private heaven. Top-notch amenities, hardwood floors, ceramic tile, quality, cookware, and bakeware. And the coffee was exceptional and I'm a coffee snob! Le Crueset teapot. What? The owners definitely take time to detail and have pride of ownership. There were even grilling options of a Weber gas grill or a charcoal grill. The sauna and indoor whirlpool was definitely a bonus. The outdoor pool is beautifully located overlooking the bay. Management office answers calls promptly and it was nice to be able to have bikes to ride around the area. I highly recommend this resort.

Starting at checkin they are very welcoming and informative...the office has games and books and an old school feel. The view is amazing and the sound of the bay is calming.

This is a little-known property in Door County, WI. The property includes 3 rental options. I will…read morebriefly touch on each of the 3 options. This review is primarily for the smallest cottage, the Firefly, built in 1948 by the owner's father and grandfather which my husband and I have stayed twice (2011, 2012). For those of you who haven't visited Door County, it is the "thumb" that juts out from the mitten-shaped state of Wisconsin. A peninsula, it's chock-full of nostalgia and quintessential locales that are down right Norman Rockwell. The Firefly cottages are situated just outside the largest city in Door County, Sturgeon Bay, WI. The property is on a very private lot with beach-side cottages in a quaint spot just north of one of the most picturesque lighthouses on the peninsula. It faces the lake side of Lake Michigan so the water is colder than the bay side and referred to as "the quiet side" of the peninsula. While it is perfect for a quiet getaway, it is not directly within walking or biking distance of shops or restaurants, unless you're an avid cyclist. We have stayed at this property 2 years in a row now, both times around the 4th of July. As I mentioned, this property includes three different rental options, so you will have other renters with you on the property however it still remains very private. The newest and most modern construction rental option and also the largest is called the hideaway (https://sites.google.com/site/fireflycottages3/the-hideaway-cottage). It sits the furthest back from the shore behind the firefly cottage and has more modern amenities. I have not stayed in this particular unit. It sits behind the firefly so may have more obstructed views of the lake but is bigger, more modern, and has a cool fire pit in the yard. The larger of the cabins, the Viking (https://sites.google.com/site/fireflycottages3/the-viking), is a quintessential summer family getaway. There is a big, open great room that includes living room, dining room, kitchen. It's very well maintained by its loving owner. The house also includes a bedroom and a lofted sleeping area with two double-beds. There is also a full bath with tub so it's great for families at all stages and of all sizes. I would recommend trying to rent the Viking if you have more than 2 adults or more than 3 people. The smallest of the cottages, the Firefly is just perfect for a small family, romantic getaway for a couple, or individual reflection retreat. We have had the most lovely time both times we have stayed here. There is literally no (AT&T) cell phone service so be prepared to be totally unplugged. Took me a day or two to get used to this and I totally recommend doing it. Hey, you only get away once or twice a year. The emails can wait. And if you really need access, you can go into "town." The Firefly cottage is basically a one-room cottage with a little porch on the front (see my pics!). There is a little kitchen that we found to have everything we needed. There is a queen size bed in the main room, and a small, non-working fireplace makes the place feel even more quaint. The front porch has a couch that pulls out into a bed. We brought along an extra camping mattress and put it on top of the pullout mattress the year the boys came along with us and they seemed to sleep very comfortable - and they are big teenage boys! The beach: sandy and beautiful. We spent many days just sunbathing or playing bocce ball along the beach. It is stunning! The only downside we found is that every few years the ale wife (minnow) die off. This results in a beach littered with dead fish (yuck). We still had a great time and just had to do a little tidying of the beach. There's no way to tell when this death of thousands of fish will occur so there's no point in trying to worry about it when you make your plans. The locals don't give it much of a thought. If you are a dog lover, this is a perfect spot for you. Irene allows pets and our dog had a stellar time chasing seagulls and snapdragons the entire weekend. Love. The Firefly is more suited for an individual or romantic retreat for a couple than for a family of 4 but could work for a small family if the children are small. The shower is small so swim and enjoy!!! (drafted July 2012)
