Home on 5 Acres in Ellison Bay- Near The Clearing Folk School!
Welcome to The Goddess Door Family Home, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! This home is located on a quiet 5-acre piece of property on a cul-de-sac. The yard has several seating areas. The house is on the north side of Ellison Bay, close to many activities, and a good home base for exploring all the county has to offer.
This home was built by the current owner's father, who was a skilled carpenter. He handcrafted the kitchen cabinets from cherrywood and made the stained-glass windows in the three-season porch. He remodeled and maintained it with love. There are many small touches in the home that reflect the family's Door County history, such as the kitchen table that belonged to the owner's grandparents where many family memories were made. You will also find art from local artists, and touches of The Clearing Folk School throughout the house. The Clearing Folk School is adjacent to this property.

Perfect setup for a couples vacation. My wife likes having a fairly large kitchen when we stay somewhere for a week. She was pleased. The location is private. Close proximity to all-things-Door County. Clean, easily accessible. I recommend this property.
1602 supplied our family with beauty and charm. We decided it was an artist's and a hobbit's home with everything supplied. Location was perfect as well.
Another fabulous stay at the Goddess Door! We have been coming to Door County with our children for over a decade, and this is hands-down our favorite property to stay at. The location is fabulous and the property itself is charming and perfect. Thanks for another wonderful stay!
Overall, we had a great stay. The location was perfect. When we were at the house, we spent most of our time in the kitchen. If we stayed here again, it would just be the two of us, because of the sizes of the beds and layout of the bedrooms.
This property is only a short jaunt to the ferry to Washington Island. The house is set in a lovely and secluded area with outdoor seating, a fire pit, and fruit trees. We even got to watch a porcupine enjoy apples from the apple tree! Inside, the living areas are absolutely lovely--the kitchen being the best!
The house was very nice we loved the kitchen. When we reached out the response was very fast. It’s in a very good location to get to sister bay or ride the ferry to Washington island. Lots a places to hike near by. The only thing I have an issue with was the third bed room being open to the hallway and the living room with out reading all of the property details I did not catch that at first
but it still was a great place to stay and would stay again if in the area. Thank you for letting us stay! We had a great time!
We recently had a wonderful family getaway at this beautiful property.
The property is beautiful, so much outdoor space, plus nice house decor and spacious rooms.
The location is perfect and we appreciated the newly renovated kitchen and appliances.
We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing stay in a perfect setting and location.
We look forward to returning in the future!
Beautiful, quiet, tranquil, clean, nice, felt like I was from people, but 15 minutes to Washington Island Ferry and all the restaurants in Sister Bay etc... lots of deer in yard!!
The house was beautiful. The bushes by the main entrance can be trimmed. The bedrooms could use a fan. We enjoyed our trip thoroughly. Thanks for the host!!!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We've been coming to Door County for many years, and this is by far our favorite property. The location is ideal, and very quiet and private. We are a family of 6, and we really enjoyed the large outdoor space. The fire pit is lovely, and the kitchen was perfect. We also really liked the small aesthetic touches like the stained glass windows. We really couldn't have had a lovlier stay, and are looking forward to booking this property again next year. Thank you!

We enjoyed staying here for the long MDW weekend! The house is beautiful and spacious and the perfect location relative to most of what Door County has to offer. We enjoyed this property and spending our time in Door County. Our only suggestion would be to have another TV in the primary bedroom; we enjoy winding our nights with a TV show. We would definitely consider coming back to this property with a larger group next time.
