We enjoyed our stay at Porte Haven and especially enjoyed use of the back deck at the end of the day. Jeremy and Caitlyn were great hosts! We look forward to our next visit.

Wonderful setting on the water. You can hear the water hitting the rocks and the trees moving in the breeze. Short walk to ferry to Washington Island and beach was great! The house is amazing. So much room to relax. The screened in porch was my favorite area. Nothing to do but relax but close enough to grab some ice cream in Sister Bay and smoked fish in Gills Rock. This was our second stay with DC Cabins. Our goal is to stay at each of the properties as they do not disappoint! Clean, comfortable and peaceful. Can’t wait to come back.
