Fabulous Time

We loved our stay! The house is lovely—plenty of room for the 12 of us. The children enjoyed the games provided. There was room for them to play and for the adults to sit and talk. Very clear instructions were left in the binder for us. The beds were very comfortable; even my 12-year-old granddaughter commented on how comfortable her bed was (and she was on the pull-out bed!) The new addition which totally rebuilt the kitchen and expanded the dining area was WONDERFUL! There was plenty of room for prep work and conversation, and set up nicely. The new added 3-season room was a bit cold, as we were here in early spring, off-season, but it is a great addition and will be loved by many! Definitely recommend it!

About the host

Hosted by Julia (Smucker) Rajan

This house has been in our family for over 25 years! We love Door County, and our house has always been a special place for us. We hope you enjoy and make it your own home-away-from-home. We work with our irreplaceable property manager to ensure the best possible experience for our guests and property.

Why they chose this property

Waldhaus, "house in the woods," holds a special place in our hearts. It is situated on 7.5 acres of woods with walking trails that our family has worked to keep well-maintained. We have enjoyed the house and property as our family has grown, and we have continued to remodel and adjust the space to accommodate our own family as well as our renters while still preserving the rustic log-cabin feel.
