Wonderful Property!

We really loved our stay at Ridges Retreat! The host was great to communicate with. They even sent an offer to extend our trip which we were able to take advantage of. The house was awesome - perfect for what we needed. Lots of space and nicely decorated/appointed. Plenty of towels and pillows and the on-site laundry was really nice. Conveniently located and an easy walk to Ridges Sanctuary nature area, shops, restaurants, and brewery. Loved that they had books and puzzles and board games - we played Trivial Pursuit every night! Check-in and check-out was really easy. Our family would definitely stay at this property again!

Great location for a multigenerational trip. The setting is beautiful, it's central to all our favorite spots in Door County, the house is spotless, and the hosts had too many thoughtful touches to list.

About the host

Hosted by Holli Kohls

We've always wanted to have a home on the water and when we found this property we fell in love! Door County has beautiful lakefront homes, but not many have a sandy beach. For us, this house had it all...large yard, cute, updated home and beautiful views of the water. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
