5BR Waterfront Retreat – Experience Door County’s Best Season, Fall!



Wake up to Green Bay right outside your window. Château Karl sits on the quiet shores of Little Sturgeon Bay, where mornings start with coffee on the deck and evenings end around the fire pit under a sky full of stars.

This is where family reunions turn into favorite memories, where kids kayak off the shore while the grownups linger over dinner, where fall’s crisp air and quiet beauty make Door County feel like your own private secret.

Sleeps up to 11 across 5 bedrooms on three floors — plenty of room for everyone, plenty of moments to share.

Come do life like Karl, our resident French Bulldog: fully, joyfully, and by the water.

Book your Door County getaway today.

This is an excellent property that met our needs. We had a family gathering that varied between five and nine adults and two young children being present. The view from the deck and patio of the lake is outstanding and the sunset is brilliant. The house was stocked better than any of our previous rentals. Unfortunately, the hot tub was not working during our stay even with repeated attempts by the owner to have it repaired. We really did not miss it since we spent our time with family members who had traveled from different areas of the country to be there. Hopefully the hot tub will be repaired for the next renter.

Great place to stay. Very quiet, beautiful landscaping, amazing views & sunsets. We really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well stocked, so we were able to cook. Communication was great…very responsive. I loved the way the place was decorated with all the dog & lake-themed decor. We were very comfortable & grateful we could bring our 2 small dogs. Thank you again for a lovely stay!

The property manager, Tony, was super helpful when he checked us in and when I had a clarifying question about recycling. The hosts Anthony & Michael were extremely responsive and proactive in checking on us when there was a weather related power outage. They also left a thoughtful welcome note and gift which added to our great first impression. The space itself was also fantastic. The kitchen was the best stocked of all of our family VRBO experiences (it even had a potato masher!). The views are amazing, especially at sunset and during storms. Beds were comfortable. Water pressure was great in the showers. The decor fit the lake setting well. The outside area is gorgeous with the views, plenty of seating, fire pit and hot tub. Be careful if you access the lake (the steps are steep and the rocks in the lake can be sharp). Love how quiet the area is as it is away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas, but you can still get to any of those places within Door County, Sturgeon Bay or Green Bay. The little extra driving is well worth the payoff of the location and hospitality!
