What would your dream vacation look like?
We want to craft your perfect vacation. As world travelers ourselves, we understand all of your needs (and wants) because we have traveled for almost every reason imaginable.
Being home remodelers, medical professionals, and business owners, we have a unique advantage in our industry of knowing exactly what each type of traveler is looking to accomplish during their stay.
Plus, we stay in the homes we offer to our guests, too, and hang out in the areas where our properties are located. This gives us a unique advantage to continually make the best improvements to the properties and offer local recommendations to our guests in regards to top restaurants, activities, and events.
Above all, we believe time is our most valuable asset – and it’s yours, too.
You’ll never get today back, so you deserve to make the most of it… especially while traveling. When you stay in our rentals, you’ll be free to use your time to reconnect with one another, enjoy each other’s company, relax in a comfortable environment, and feel at home, away from home. That’s what we call spending your time wisely.

Michael
I was born in Nashville, TN, and lived there for a majority of my childhood, and my studies took me into pharmacy school where I earned my Doctor of Pharmacy degree at UW-Madison. Around here, I’m the business and operations guy, remodeller, bookkeeper, marketing specialist…actually, there aren’t many hats that I don’t wear!
When I’m not treating one of my patients at the pharmacy or behind my desk looking for my next vacation home, you can find me at the lake or ocean with a fishing pole in my hand.

As a kid, my summers were spent in Door County at my family’s cottage where my fondest memories were curated. In fact, it was Door County that caused my family to move to the Milwaukee area just so we could spend more time and be closer to our slice of heaven in Door County. While continuing my summer tradition of going “Up North” to my cottage in Ephraim, my father and I combined our passions for fishing and Door County to build a successful charter fishing business in Baileys Harbor. We both earned our US Coast Guard Captain’s licenses in order to guide families and vacationers to catch a fish of a lifetime and deliver the most unforgettable experience on Lake Michigan.

While practicing as a Pharmacist, I enjoyed my time in Milwaukee and started a real estate investment company which focuses on remodeling older multifamily properties and then renting them out as high-end, boutique units. This led me to acquiring more properties in the form of vacation homes in both Milwaukee and Door County - my two favorite places in the world.

I have lived in the Milwaukee area for 15 years and went to Concordia University to earn my Doctor of Pharmacy degree. Shortly after becoming a pharmacist, I met Mike who is also a pharmacist and a real estate guru. If you have any questions about your stay, you will be communicating with me. Guest communication is my passion, as I love supporting our guests in having the best trip possible. I pride myself on knowing the best restaurants, events, activities, and all of the little local hidden gems that are close to our properties.
When not behind the pharmacy counter giving pharmaceutical advice or advising one of our guests where to find the best cheese curds, you can find me traveling on a boat or bike or laying out on the beach with a drink in my hand. If it involves water, boats, beaches, restaurants, cheese curds, or popcorn, I’ll be there.

I have been going up to Door County since I was a little kid and have so many fond memories. When I was younger, my family would stay in Rowleys Bay for a week to see all the pretty fall colors and go to all the state parks. For the last 5 years, Mike and I have been going up there and just love that it’s not a far drive from Milwaukee and has everything we love. With phenomenal restaurants, water activities, shows, biking paths, and all of the natural beauty to just unwind and relax, it’s no wonder this is one of my favorite places in the world.

I work in a suburb, but I just can’t leave the downtown living of Milwaukee yet. I have fallen in love with Milwaukee with all it has to offer all year long, festivals, sporting events and concerts to tours, beaches, great food and of course, beer. You can always find something to do, and I always say nothing beats a Milwaukee summer with Summerfest, Bradford Beach, Brewers games, and the river walk. Despite loving the Milwaukee summers as much as I do, we always make time to go to our other favorite place, Door County.
