    Piggybacking on my Fish Creek guide, today I have a tour of our Door County cottage. My parents bought this vacation house before I was born and we have spent every summer visiting Door County. It is a one bedroom white clapboard cottage that was built in the late 1800’s and restored in the late 80’s. My dad actually happened…
