    Dual fire pits

    Very nice place to stay. Very pricey, but still great location. Clean towels and clean room. Bed was a bit lumpy and comfortable. Centrally located to everything and walking distance to almost everything you need. Going to try out the pool in a bit, since no one is in it.

    Amazing! My husband and son booked a night for my birthday. Very clean, and a friendly helpful staff. Looks small from the front, but isn't. As I walked around to the back it's a 2 story inn. A heated pool was in the back and a hot tub in a private area. Both that were also very clean and had towels available. Great value would stay again. I want to share a moment with you. If booking a place is determined by the integrity of the owners, this is the place. Please consider them. They are friends of my son and found out I had cancer and the only place I feel calm is in the water. They offered me free access to their pool anytime and a room. They have even been extremely patient with me not being able to book anything based on my Drs restrictions. They extended the offer after hearing that. We need to support family owned businesses like! I finally found the chance to take them up on their offer, and couldn't believe all the improvements and work that had been done. Keep up the great work!

    The Door County Property website had really strict rules about keeping your dog on a leash at all…read moretimes (or you'll get fined), so you can imagine our surprise when we arrived at 'Aunt Sally's' with our dog on her leash, to find two huge loose dogs run up to us as we got out of our car. The dogs jumped on our dog and was barking at us, turning into a huge, scary scene. The owners of the dogs (who also happen to own the property we rented living next door) just sat on the dock as we screamed for their help. Finally they came to steer the dogs away. They let us know their dogs are 'outdoor dogs' and if we weren't comfortable with them roaming our rental property off the leash, they would give us a full refund. We drove 5 hours from Chicago, so really wasn't interested in turning around. Door County Property management offered a nice solution with another available rental nearby, but it was not on the water and nothing I would call comparable. DCPM did speak to the owners and the dogs didn't roam on our lawn when we were there (but one of their dogs stole our bone when we left!) anyway, for a company with such a long list of rules, you would think the property owners would follow them and they would let people know that dogs may be roaming this property, so think twice before you decide to rent it. Next year we will be using another property management company for our vacation in door county.

    Unfortunately, our rental experience with RDC this time around was disappointing. We turned to them…read morewhen the last year when we wanted a beachfront access property vs. other properties we've rented in the past. The Bayview Cottage seemed like the perfect fit. We thought it was the perfect location on the water and worth the $400/ night. The website indicates that there is "Sand Beach" and a "Dock with Lake Access" with photos to boot. Apparently this is only IF the two other beach front properties in the Parks Edge area are not occupied. The two front cottages on the water (that host 20+ ppl) had their chairs, coolers flooding the dock as well as wave runners and a fishing boat docked for the entire week we were there. It started with the first night, my husband and I and our 2 young boys approached the beach to see the front 2 cottages had towels and food set along the entire picnic area. We smiled and planned on setting out food plates down to enjoy our dinner. We received dirty looks as if we were imposing on their party. Feeling completely outnumbered, we decided to head back to enjoy our dinner on the porch. Unfortunately, this family reunion ran every day at 10 AM till 8 PM on the dock and beach area and we never were able to enjoy the beach access and ended up driving to the public beach as we did years before. The final kicker was in checking out and saying goodbye to our wonderful, yet beach-less, week long vacation, we researched properties for next year with beach access. We came across the Parks Edge official website (the property our Bayview cottage was located with RDC) that lists the two cottages RIGHT on the water that hosted this week long family reunion. They list the 6 ppl and 14 ppl cabins and are 50% of the pricing of Bayview where we stayed. Other cottage owners we met in the Parks Edge area (there are 6 cottages in total) also complained about the overall beach access rules and explained it's not the 1st time there has been problems. It's sickening to think we paid such an inflated price without doing our research. This cottage should be in the same range of pricing as the Kulma Cottage (4 bedroom) property at $1200 or so a week, if not, no more than the 2 other TRUE lake front cottages at Parks Edge. Beach access can not be promised and simply a roll of the dice.

    We rented the Little Yellow Cottage; two adults and two dogs…read more The name is very true; little and yellow. :)  The convenient location is right on Hwy42 within walking distance of several stores, restaurants and a Peninsula State Park entry.  There is also a small dog walking area and trails right next door which was really nice and convenient.  We parked our car next to the house, off the street so getting in and out with our dogs and bags was easy and safe.  The info we received was easy to understand and the door code worked smoothly.  On entry one of our pups ran to one bedroom and was barking at something under the bed, which turned out to be two soda bottles and popcorn.  This made us look around fully for anything else that the dogs may find that may be harmful to them. While we looked around we saw a hole in the bathroom wall where a still dangling toilet paper holder was supposed to be. (There was a tp stand with paper right next to it so this damage was obviously known and worked around.)  The tiny refrigerator top freezer section was so over-iced it was condensing on the top of the outside.  Even the utensils are old and stained.  We did not prepare meals in the house, but did appreciate the coffee makers, both Kuerig and Mr Coffee. The overall condition of the place was cluttered. It appears that past visitors leave items assuming they can be used by the next renters ie. stroller, 1/2 can of dog food in the refrigerator, dog beds, and more, none of which we chose to look through and all crammed into corners.  The vacuum and possibly a portacrib was in the bedroom corner.  There are no closets anywhere; this just adds to the cluttered feeling of an already small home.  The bedside lamp neck was broken in half.  Even the coffee table was well chewed up, but I know that is the problem with renting to lazy dog owners. We never did find a place to sit with a fire pit unless it was next to the garbage cans on the side of the house. All in all this place worked for us as we hike all day and only come back to sleep at night.  But with no extra space in the bedrooms for the dogs to sleep on the floor we had to improvise from our normal "no dogs on the furniture" rule from home.  And the second bedroom door was so warped it could not be closed.  Be warned: if you are a person of a larger size, getting into the bathroom may be a challenge as the toilet is behind the door with little room to move around. A little updating and solid cleaning would make this place much better.  But if you are not very particular and need a place that allows dogs this will work. I could easily have given a lower star count but don't want to be mean. Maybe they will work on the items I have mentioned so the next person has a better experience.

    We rented the whole of Chatham Hills property through Little Adventure Vacation Rentals in Door…read moreCounty in August 2022. Depending on what you need with the property, it may not be for you. It's about expectations. If you are a very large group with low standards on cleanliness and don't mind a motel-like experience, maybe? Or if you're a large group of college kids that all want to stay on the same property and don't care about much else, perhaps. But if you are like us (2 families that have been coming to vacation in Door County for 20 years) that expect a level of cleanliness and function in a rental, look elsewhere. We don't expect perfection in a rental. But to say that the property is a victim of deferred maintenance is generous. Mold in the showers, very poor water pressure, leaking ceilings, missing tiles taped over in the basement "game room", broken sporting equipment, grey and worn-thin towels, stained sheets, etc. It was dirty and depressing. And clearly not outfitted for a large group as advertised. There were only 8 "real" plates - all of the other plateware was plastic; plus there were no serving dishes or adequate cookware or small appliances to cook for a large group. Plus the kitchen is so small, only two people can comfortable move around while working. We ended up eating only one dinner at the property. The "adventure shed" was touted to be filled with adequate bikes, kayaks, sporting goods, etc - but that also was a disappointment. Most of the items were either broken or missing parts. Also beware-renting this in the high season leaves you no choice (literally everything in Door County is booked solid the first week of August in the summer) so you will have to stay and deal with the disappointment like we did (my family actually left 3 days early; the other family had to stay but spent most of their time off property). It is very unfortunate. The property has tons of potential and could be really great if attended to. Or, if the price was a quarter of what we paid for the week - you might feel like it was "fine enough" for the cheap rate. To add insult to injury, the customer service from Little Adventures was way off the mark. When we contacted them the day after we arrived with our complaints and photo documentation, they thought that refunding us a cleaning fee (what cleaning?) and a restaurant gift certificate would cover our dissatisfaction. If it was just about some cleaning and a few broken bikes, that would have been fine. But our complaint was about the gross misrepresentation of the property and all of the items I listed above. I hope this review is helpful to other potential renters considering this property.

The condo was beautiful, except for the scary clown artwork. The condo seems to be a new build, with great appliances. The beds were comfortable and the condo was clean. Communication with Simple Life was good. I received several emails with instructions for check in, garbage service, and check out. The condo is centrally located in Door County. The indoor pool is nice but they seemed to be making improvements to the outdoor pool, which was closed. It claimed to have a fitness center but it only had 4 pieces of equipment. The only negative things I can say about the condo was that is wasn't stocked with many necessities. I would suggest bringing your own towels. We were given 6 for 7 people. We couldn't find any dish towels. They had plenty of dinnerware but the coffee cups were tiny( more like espresso cups, so bring your own). There is a limited amount of serving dishes. We were given two dishwasher pods and laundry pods( once again, bring your own) and one roll of paper towels. There's no Kleenex provided. So while the place is lovely, just know that you will have to bring in some items. And the previous guests left there garbage in the garage. I communicated this to Simple Life and they responded immediately. I didn't want to be blamed for that. Overall, this is a clean, comfortable, centrally located condo. We would stay again and use Simple Life in the future.
