About this property

Door County has been named the Best Family Vacation Destination in Wisconsin as well as one of the Top Ten Vacation Destinations in North America by Money Magazine. Most recently it has been named the Best Wisconsin Romantic Getaway by Wisconsin Magazine. In the heart of Door County is the Village of Sister Bay which is on the bay side of Door County. This is significant because if you like boating, swimming, fishing or just beautiful sunsets, the bay side is the place to be. Sister Bay has lots of shopping, restaurants and water activities as well as a huge marina.

Very close to the village is Maple Manor, a beautiful 2 acre estate with a historic church that has been transformed into a beautiful home. The great room is 27' x 47' with a beautiful fireplace and several sitting areas. Off this room are 4 bedrooms all with their own fireplaces and whirlpool baths. The large eat-in kitchen is also off this extraordinary room. Upstairs are 2 more bedrooms each with their own whirlpool baths and each with their own staircase. The basement has 2 bedrooms, a bathroom with walk in shower, big screen TV, pool table and shuffleboard table.

This is a perfect home for a large family or several couples who enjoy traveling together. It is truly an extraordinary place to stay.

There is so much to do in Door County that you just can't fit it into 1 week.

The pictures don’t do it justice!

We went up to Door County with our extended family for a celebration and we had a wonderful time! This property and house were beautiful! It was hard to tell from the pictures just how big it was. Once we got in there, we were amazed at the huge living room area, and we almost got lost deciding on our rooms. There is a large kitchen and supplies for large parties like ours. The rooms had more than enough blankets, pillows and pads, so that the kid cousins could do sleepovers in each others’ rooms if desired. Every room had a little different layout so we were all able to find rooms that worked best for our families. The outdoor area was large and allowed for lots of outdoor football and bonfires. Kids and adults alike had a blast outside. The house is just a 0.5 mile walk from downtown Sister Bay. We took many walks down there and got to enjoy the various shops and restaurants. Gary was easy to reach and very helpful with any questions we had. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay at Maple Manor again!!

Perfect for large families

Gary was very proactive and responsive with his communication. The home was clean and beds were comfortable - wonderful to have so many bedrooms that felt like master suites with own private bathrooms! Kitchen set up was absolutely perfect and did not feel crowded. So nice to have two large dining room tables to accommodate everybody - highly recommend!! Thank you Gary!

Family reunion spot

We had a great time, everything we needed in the kitchen for big meals. Close enough to walk into town without being too close, no noise, felt like we were rural. Nice fires every night.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Polipnick

I have been vacationing in Door County for 2 decades. We purchased a condo at the Scandinavian Lodge in Sister Bay several years ago. Maple Manor has incredible vibes, as anyone that has stayed here will tell you.

Why they chose this property

We saw this home as an ideal place for extended family.

What makes this property unique

Maple Manor is in a great location in town, Sister Bay. This home was formerly the Sister Bay Baptist Church. The previous owner completely renovated the inside but kept the original exterior look.
We can walk to town for coffee or walk to the beach. It is only a short walk for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We believe Sister Bay has some of the best restaurants in Door County.
Family and friends enjoy having a private bath with whirlpool tub in their bedroom. All of the bedrooms are roomy with sitting areas, writing desks and fireplaces. The 3rd floor tower is a great place for solitude and has a great view of the village. Everyone enjoys the views from the great room and kitchen area.
The lighting in the great room is spectacular at night. The beams and bookcases are illuminated. The sky and clouds are painted on the great room ceiling which is 25 feet high.
Sister Bay is in the heart of Door County and Maple Manor is in one of the best locations on the peninsula. Our home is an inviting and special place for anyone that visits.
