Notes from the host
Oak & Orchard House
Welcome to Oak and Orchard House! This dog-friendly home is a beautifully renovated 3 bedroom, 2 full bath, 1923 farmhouse on a quiet street, situated between forest and field, equipped with brand new appliances and modern amenities, and full of character and history. It is also home to an old orchard of apple, pear, and cherry trees, and with views of the bay in the distance—this house is quintessentially Door County!
The space
You will feel at home in the fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops, farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and handcrafted island made with reclaimed wood. Relax and gather with friends and family in the open concept living room and dining room with original built-in leaded glass china cabinet, exposed brick chimney, and one-of-a-kind antique furniture. Rainy day or not, there are plenty of things to do indoors. Stream your favorite shows and sports on the Samsung Smart TV, make a puzzle, or cozy up in the window seat with a good book. Grab a deck of cards or board games like The Game of Life, Clue, Sequence, Monopoly, and more. There is also a gorgeous bathtub downstairs to relax and unwind, or a traditional shower in the upper bath with lots of natural light. Traveling with a baby or young child? You can leave the bulky gear at home as we're equipped with a crib, high chair, changing table, toys, books, and more.
Working virtually? With reliable internet, strong cell service, a built-in desk and multiple workspace-friendly areas in the house, this is the perfect place to work from home.
Enjoy your morning coffee out on the huge deck while listening to the birds and look for wildlife. or fire up the 5-burner gas grill and watch the sunset. The fire pit behind the garage is perfect for roasting s'mores and star-gazing. Little ones will love the swing set and tons of space to run and play. Challenge your crew to a friendly game of croquet, or toss a frisbee in the backyard.
Please Note: Long-term tenants reside in the addition at the back of the home. It is a completely separate residence from the house—the tenants have their own entrance, deck space with patio furniture + a small grill that is not for guest use. They work a lot in the summer and are not often around, but we would ask guests to respect their privacy and use the main patio table/grill closest to the house. There is also an interior door in the dining room that is a locked entrance to the apartment, but it locks on each side (works similarly to how adjoining hotel rooms work). Guests cannot access the apartment, and the tenants cannot access the house unless each party mutually unlocks.
