Great location, close to sister bay. The house is in a quiet neighborhood with lots of trees and a firepit close to the water. The house isnt super fancy but it was perfect for our needs. Comfortable beds and cozy indoor and outdoor seating.
This was a perfect spot for a family vacation in Door County! Our girls (10 & 11) enjoyed exploring the pier and fishing every evening. The fire pit was lovely.
Cute house right on Lake Michigan with porch and and fire pit. Very private and quiet area but within a few miles to some stores/restaurants and only 20 minutes from Bailey's Harbor and 25 minutes to Peninsula State Park. We enjoyed our stay.
We enjoyed our stay at Waters End Cottage. We did email the rental company about leftover linens sitting out & ants on countertops. They were very responsive and appreciative of our email. We would stay here again with our pets!

Getaway weekend
Stay was wonderful really enjoyed the sunrise. Cabin was nice and clean and very quiet and peaceful. Could see the big dipper as big as can be right outside the picture windows. We would definitely come back.
Nice spot at the end of the road. Quiet and peaceful. The house was clean and comfortable, and the host was very responsive. The people before us left coffee grounds in the maker which got moldy - kinda gross, but not the end of the world.
This was a great home. The common areas were spacious and the kitchen appeared well stocked. Some of the decor/finished were a little dated but the space itself was great. The outside area is amazing, there is a fire pit and a swing right on the water. Definitely would stay again.

Cottage needs help
We recently stayed at the Waters End Cottage in Sister Bay and were very disappointed. Upon first entry, we found dirty linens and towels from the previous tenants, unvacuumed floors, broken blind in the living room. A phone call got someone to pick up the laundry, but at bedtime we were then short bedding for the sofa bed.
The location was described as rural, but it was not tranquil. There was a steady stream of foot and vehicle traffic to the "private pier." The area leading to the fire pit and swing (which were in poor condition) was not recently mowed.
We felt it was way overpriced for what we got, and would not repeat this experience.

We received a less than 72 hr warning that if we didn't arrive with sheets we may be fined an extra cleaning fee on top of the two cleaning fees we paid before even arriving. We then walked into a filthy cabin that had black animal hair all over two white chairs and white hair all over a larger chair. When we went to take pictures as evidence to prove the animal mess wasn't ours, we found the floor was covered in dust and animal hair and dead bugs. It looked like the place hadn't been cleaned in months!
After that wonderful discovery we came into a kitchen that was teeming with ants. We dealt with this non-stop during our stay. One of the guests has a special diet due to an autoimmune disorder and there was nowhere safe for their food. We had to repurchase over $70 of safe food for them to eat. In addition to the ants there were earwigs and spiders in the bathroom and bedrooms daily. We had a few ants and earwigs even in our luggage when we got home.
They left a single towel and rag per guest for an entire week stay, which is the least important thing but still felt important to mention.
The biggest issue is the smell! There was water damage on the doors in the bathroom and what appears to be mold on the wall near the shower. The whole cabin has a musty smell and one bedroom smells moldy. We finally found some of the mold. It was on the headboard! Those who stayed in it were unfortunately sick every morning with a headache.

Quiet end of the street right on the water! Can’t beat the sunrise and wildlife you might see right on the lake. AND—so close to many fun things to do!

The property appeared clean until my wife turned down the bed. What appeared to be droppings were all over the sheets. We called the rental agency immediately. They then contacted a local maintenance guy that was supposed to have done something. This person texted me a while later, apologized and said they would bring mousetraps out in the morning. My wife and I slept on the couch.Upon closer inspection the droppings appeared to be some kind of seed. Regardless, the bedding was clearly not changed from the previous guest,there was no effort to clean the mess, no laundry on site, no spare sheets and no effort to resolve the complaint. I had put off writing a review in hopes that someone would contact me with an offer of a discounted rate or at least an apology. Sadly that didnt happen.
