Great cabin with all the amenities. Peaceful, quiet cabin on a dead end street close to the bay, short drive to town. Would stay again-
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2025
Location to Sister Bay was great, maybe 10 minute drive. House is on quiet road so it’s good for walking dogs if you are traveling with your pups. The twin beds in 3rd bedroom & master are soooooo comfortable! We didn’t use middle bedroom.The 3 window air conditioners kept it cool even on warm days. We only cooked once, but kitchen had items we needed. Good water pressure in shower & bathroom has storage shelves, etc for toiletries.IF you are traveling with pets: the listing states the pet fee is charged at booking, I recommend confirming that it is charged at that time. I paid in full at time of booking, for 4 adults & 2 pets but pet fee wasn’t added & we had no knowledge of this until 4 days prior to our check in. At that point we could no longer cancel & book elsewhere, if we so chose. We always travel with our pets & have never had any issues before, hopefully this was computer glitch on their end & an isolated incident.
