Darn Near Perfect

This is a perfect place to stay in Door County. You're away from the busy parts like Fish Creek, but close enough to enjoy Peninsula
State Park or other tourist spots if you want. The sunrises, sunsets, rainbows and stars are a treat to see from the great outdoor deck or the rocks below. A lucky treat during your stay in this house is to have a wild storm hit. The decks are spectacular spots for storm watching. The house is beautiful and has everything you need if you choose to cook in. It is also close enough to great restaurants and golf courses if you want that too. We've been here a number of times and always enjoy coming back - so does our dog (one of these days she'll get that chipmunk!).

A gem in the woods, near the Washington Island ferries. At the northern end of Door County, this is the truly undeveloped area of the county, but is just a quick run down the highway to shopping and fine dining. Within walking distance of Gills Rock and the Shoreline Restaurant’s famous Wednesday Spaghetti Night.

We have been here several times when we want to be away from the stress and noise of the city. Even the dog enjoys the getaway. The house is well-maintained, and the setting is beautiful, with gorgeous views of the lake. Dan is a great host - always responsive to any concerns. We have come to think of Beach at Sky Ledge as “our place” in Door county.

Just a note: We have only been here in the late spring or early fall, so have not used either the fire pit or fireplace. However, if you plan to use them, please buy your firewood locally. This will help keep our forests free of non-local bugs and diseases.

We had a very relaxing week in this beautiful home with gorgeous panoramic views of Lake Michigan. Had three generations of family members on vacation and all had a great time. Grandparents enjoyed golfing and winery tours as well a reading in front of the gorgeous lake views. Children loved fishing off pier at passenger ferry/gift shops in Gill's rock (one mile away). If your kids like arts and crafts, go to "Hands On Art Studio" where they can paint pottery, make mosaics or do glass or metal work. We enjoyed kayaking in Ephraim and biking in Peninsula State Park. We walked on a daily basis on the very pretty, quiet roads near the house. Don't forget to get ice cream at Wilson's in Ephraim where the portions are scoops are quite large.

The house itself is beautiful and immaculate. It was once owned by Phil Austin, a Door County watercolor artist, and it is easy to see how he was inspired living in it. The owner of the house, Dan, is quite accomadating.

We wish we had spent two weeks instead of one.

Just returned from a weeks stay at Sky Ledge with my wife and three adult children. What a place! The home is nestled in the woods at the end of a long driveway. It is beautifully maintained, clean, and very comfortable. The views of Green Bay are spectacular.
There is plenty of interior space to unwind. The kitchen has modern appliances, the living room has a large wood burning fireplace. The furniture was very comfortable, and the bedrooms are very cozy with comfortable mattresses. Please note that there are no window blinds on the bay side bedroom windows. It gets very bright in the morning however the trade off is the beautiful sun rises. The main deck outside the living room is spacious. The deck outside the master bedroom offers the best view of the bay. The house has many books for reading and several games and puzzles that we took advantage of on the two days that it rained. There is Dish Network TV in the living room and kitchen televisions. There is also a DVD player.
If you must use the internet you can drive to Wilson's in Ephraim and park by the library while you enjoy a humongous ice cream cone. There is free high speed wireless access that we tapped into on our laptop while in the car. The outside stairs lead to the beach. There is a fire ring on the beach that we used on three nights. Firewood is not provided but we brought some from home. Plenty of places to buy firewood but it's a ripoff at three to five dollars for a small bundle of "sticks" Unfortunately we kept missing Dan but he was a pleasure to deal with on the phone. If your looking for a secluded vacation home, with beautiful quiet surroundings with great lake views, this is the place for you.

Our visit to Door County was a wonderfully relaxing adventure at Sky Ledge. The home is excellently maintained, exceptionally inviting, and provides a serene escape for anyone looking for a true vacation away from the realities of life. The description of the home is very accurate, lovely views from every window, beautiful mature trees on the property, and comfort in every room. The sunrises over Lake Michigan were astounding. The location of the home is perfect for guests who do not want to be in the midst of the busy tourist areas, but close enough to be easily accessible to everything. We felt like we honestly had the relaxing type of a vacation we were seeking. The hosts were very accomodating, very easy to work with throughout our stay, and very gracious in all dealings. We are very thankful they let us share their home in paradise for our vacation.

What a perfect location for our family weekend away with our adult kids and their spouse/boyfriend. Plenty of open space and privacy in the house. The house is comfortably furnished with all of the ammenities that we needed. Working with the owner was easy and he was very accommodating. It's a great spot to relax and enjoy the house and the surroundings or find any type of entertainment you are looking for in Door County.

The house was everything we were looking for and more. The house and property are in good order. The view is breathtaking. The beach front is what you look for when you want to get away.

Great getaway location -

Our family - My wife and I, three teenage boys and mother in law. Had plenty of room and all enjoyed the location.

The small towns, shops, marinas, beaches, parks, and restaurants kept us plenty busy and entertained.

Our hosts were very curtious and helpful.
