Most lovely little but the right size cottage.
The view is magnificent. Close to all variety of activities .The host, Alisa was pleasant, knowledgeable and responded immediately when contacted - the property was immaculately cared for and interior was filled with well appointed decor but not cluttered.
We booked for next year, same location, same host and aim to make it a longer visit

We stayed at Eagle View Suite over the weekend to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and it was truly a memorable experience for our family. Our two boys (14 and 10) were with us, and the four of us absolutely loved our time there.

The suite is bright, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious—perfect for a family getaway. The location is ideal with Sturgeon Bay right at your fingertips. Whether walking, biking, or driving, everything is easily accessible.

Alisa was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout our stay, making us feel right at home. And we can’t forget sweet Sara, the host dog—truly the kindest pup we’ve met on our travels!

We recommend Eagle View to anyone visiting the area. The view alone is worth it, but the overall hospitality and warmth made it even more special.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Eagle Suite was a perfect spot to get away for the weekend. Right on the water and a fun spot to sit by the water and have relaxing mornings and evenings. Refreshing to be able to jump into the water right after a run! Alisa was a great host- would definitely come back!

The eagle view was clean, great view, walkable area.

It was a close drive to the surrounding small towns which we enjoyed shopping and walking around.

Overall great place! Alisa was a responsive host, the place was clean, we felt safe in the area.

I recommend!
