Long before Door County was a top Wisconsin tourist destination, it was apple country. The county’s rocky soil and temperate climate weren’t ideal for growing crops like corn or soybeans, but they were perfect for growing apple trees. More than a century ago, small orchards began popping up all over the Door County peninsula, and the county became a top producer of fresh and delicious apples. There are still plenty of orchards around, and you can also see remnants of early orchards surrounding older Door County homes. The Orchard House is a unique, historic VBRO rental that will allow you to stay near the action while also surrounded by some old apple trees and lush flower gardens. It’s a charming farmhouse rental with modern amenities that you’ll want to make your next getaway.

The Orchard House is located in a perfect location for exploring Door County – it’s in Baileys Harbor, so it's not far from the beauty of Lake Michigan.
