More Information
With two extra large bedrooms on the second floor (one with King Bed, one with a Queen) as well as a Queen sofa-bed downstairs, Plum is suited for a romantic stay for a couple, or for 2 couples or a small family. On the 1st floor, the very large open-plan living room with high ceilings is full of light and is richly decorated with an attractive mix of local and colorful art. An oversized sofa and large comfortable chairs are framed by large picture windows to create an inviting space to relax. The gas fireplace and Smart TV makes it a favorite spot to begin or end the day. The generous and full kitchen, with numerous handcrafted cabinets painted in an elegant ‘plum’ color, is well-equipped for simple cooking, and there is a classic-looking painted dining table for six. Upstairs, the very large master bedroom features an elegant king bed with luxury linens. The second bedroom is equally large. It has a queen bed, and is full of light and space. An ensuite “Jack and Jill” bathroom with a shower/tub between the two bedrooms is a great convenience. There is generous closet space upstairs, as well as a washer/dryer. Back on the 1st floor, patio doors lead out on to a large private patio and garden, full of beautiful and unique plants. A patio table, chairs and sofa create a wonderful outdoor living room - a lush setting indeed! The front of the house it is mere steps away from a huge fantasy garden (“The Secret Garden” itself) which guests are free to use. This elaborately landscaped set of garden areas is attracting attention of gardeners nationwide, and is already documented in the Smithsonian Institute’s 'Archive of American Gardens'. It's no wonder that guests return to the Plum Retreat year after year for the peace and comfort it offers, and to enjoy a garden environment unlike any other in Door County. The Plum Retreat is truly special and much loved by our many repeat guests. For a smaller rental, every bit as charming, please consider the "Birch Retreat” at The Secret Garden.
