Studio Above Bakery • Perfect Winter Retreat for 2
Bird's Nest by Getaway and Stay
This cozy studio is on the second floor and is situated directly above a bustling sourdough bakery, 'Cultured.' We may be getting up early to prepare some delectable treats. To prevent any disruption to your rest, we have supplied a noise machine for your use. This studio has its own private entrance located at the back of the house and its own balcony perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee or a sunset overlooking the stunning scenery.
Once you open the upper floor doors, you'll enter immediately into this studio's core - we've got our washer and dryer here in an enclosed space, then next is our fully stocked kitchen including a sink, stove, and oven, full-size refrigerator, coffee machine; all for use when inside. This place also includes dishes (including silverware) and cookware to make breakfast or dinner for yourself during your stay.
Walk right past the kitchen, there sits a spacious dining table by windows looking out over trees - perfect for eating while taking in nature! Past the dining area is our bright bedroom space configured with a large King bed. On the other side of this space, there you'll find the living area with a "full" size sleeper sofa & flat screen TV tucked away in one corner; what comes next? Well just beyond it all is our full-size bathroom just waiting for its next guest.
This unique and tranquil home in the heart of Door County is designed especially for couples, or perhaps a couple with 1-2 young children. With its unique design, this studio provides an open space living and dining area and a fully-equipped kitchen perfect for your intimate relaxation. It is a wonderful place to be alone and unwind, and yet a short distance to all that Northern Door County has to offer!
Please note that our vacation rental is located above a live bakery, which may result in some delicious aromas wafting into the space. While we hope that you enjoy the scent of fresh-baked goods, we also understand that it may not be for everyone. Therefore, we have taken measures to minimize any potential disruptions to your stay. We have provided an air purifier to help with any lingering bakery smells, as well as a white noise machine to mitigate any early morning noise. We hope that these amenities will ensure that you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay with us.
★ Curious about our cleaning fee? While ours might be slightly higher than others, we believe it's worth it for the quality experience we provide. Take a moment to read through and learn how it contributes to an exceptional stay! ★
OUTDOORS Enjoy a relaxing evening in our backyard with a cozy fire pit. It's perfect for roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, or simply unwinding under the stars. A great addition to your stay, offering a warm and inviting space to gather with family and friends.
CULTURED (Sourdough Bakery) Indulge in specialty sourdough bakery, where mouthwatering bagels, bread, and a delightful selection of fermented goodies like sauerkraut and kimchi are crafted. Visit their newly opened storefront every Friday to Sunday for a delicious experience (Please check their Social Media Pages for updated hours). Enjoy tempting bagel sandwiches, paired with aromatic drip coffee, while relaxing in our inviting outdoor seating area.
PETS Dogs are welcome. We allow up to 2 dogs, with a pet fee of $75 for every 2 dogs. Please bring bags and clean up after your pets.
WI-FI We have high-speed internet in this house, which is plenty fast enough to stream videos on multiple devices and facetime your friends and family. The cell phone service can be a bit spotty, but the WIFI will hopefully make up for it.
PARKING The driveway can park up to 2 cars or trucks but please do not park in the grass.
LAUNDRY We have a washer and dryer in the unit you can use.
NEIGHBORHOOD Our studio is above our bakery! :) This property is in a residential neighborhood while also situated next to other local businesses. Please respect our friends and neighbors and avoid loud, large parties. Please treat the neighbors like you live there. The neighborhood and backyard are perfect for grilling out, enjoying a fire, and laughing with your friends and family.

A great location and comfortable quarters. My husband, dog Birdie, and I all had a relaxing evening and great nights’ sleep. I can’t overemphasize how appreciative we are to find such a nice place that will accept a dog. The apartment was clean, well outfitted, and stylish. Arriving after dark was a challenge for us as the stairs to the apartment are in the back of the building. A defined level path and improved lighting would go a long way in improving our experience. In the meantime, we recommend bringing a good flashlight.

The apartment was very clean and well equipped. We felt very secure and it was very quiet as well. The bed was very comfortable too! The furniture is in great condition. Unfortunately the bakery was closed during our stay, but judging by the number of cars that stopped by to check on it it must be very popular. We certainly will keep this place in mind for future visits!

We have been traveling to Door County for 36 years and usually stay in Egg Harbor or Fish Creek, but decided to try somewhere different and it worked out well.This place is clean and has a comfortable bed! We always appreciate that when traveling.We brought our small dog and he did well on our walks around the property and down roads nearby.The bakery below was visited daily by us and the food delicious.My husband ate the same bagel everyday and I bought a large bag of granola there that was enjoyed daily and brought home to enjoy.The owner was responsive to questions when asked.This place is also in close driving range to so many beautiful parks (we are hikers and bikers), restaurants, and seasonal attractions.We are thankful for our stay here.

Wonderful place to stay when visiting Door County
The listing was exactly as listed. If we wanted we had everything needed to cook our meals in the small but fully furnished kitchen, plus a washer and dryer if needed. It was spacious, updated and had the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on. It is only minutes away from town . On the ground level is a bakery that has the most amazing bagels I have ever had, including those in NYC. The host was very prompt in responding to any questions we had. Definitely will stay here next time we return to Door County. Can't go wrong with this rental.

Great place!
We stayed just one night but the location was very close to Sister Bay which we love. Very clean and communication with the host was fast and easy. It is above a bakery and you can smell the aromas in the early morning but it was not bad. It smelled quite good and we did decide to wait to leave until the bakery opened so we could give it a try. Wow - so delicious!! Highly recommend. Also you can’t go to Door County without trying Cultured. Yum!

Cute, Cozy, Convenient!
What a wonderful gem! The location is wonderful - quick drive to Sister Bay, quick drive to Ephraim.
You truly have everything you need in this studio. Cute little kitchen, nice little living room space, quaint little dining room area, comfortable king size bed (the pillows were like marshmallows - so cozy!), and a generous sized bathroom/shower. This is a good sized studio - our family of four + our pup had plenty of space to stretch our legs. It's really a great spot! They put a lot of thought into creating this space - it's nicely furnished, well-kept, and clean.
The host, Tom, is wonderful and very responsive! He truly wants you to be comfortable and enjoy your stay.

What a gem!!!!
We had a wonderful stay in the Bird's Nest studio!! From the start, communication with Tom was a breeze. He was responsive, helpful, and made sure we settled in well on arrival and everything was going smoothly during our vacation. The studio is lovely, very spacious with plenty of room for 4 of us. The location is ideal for getting just about everywhere in northern Door County. We were only minutes to Ephraim, Sister Bay and Fish Creek, but also explored Ellison Bay and Egg Harbor easily. We stayed over a weekend so the bakery below was open and wow, what a delightful and absolutely delicious spot. Best bagels in the world, so if it's open, make sure you stop in for breakfast or lunch. I've been coming to Door County since I was a child and this gem was a wonderful find. We'd definitely stay again! Thank you for your warm welcome and sharing your beautiful home with us!
