Door County Cabin on the Water

This is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage/cabin on the navigable creek just off of Sawyer Harbor. Right down the road from Potawatomi State Park and Idlewild Golf Course. This location is 10 minutes from downtown Sturgeon Bay. Just a short drive to wineries and other Door County fun! There is a boat launch and a boat port on the property, so bring your boat if you'd like (small boats only)! Great fishing area for walleye, northern and musky! We have 2 single kayaks and one 17' canoe available for rent! We also have 4 adult mountain bikes and 2 adolescent bikes available for rent! Please inquire for more details on the rental equipment. Our fire pit down by the creek makes for a great night of s'mores and pudgy pies. Our back patio area is also great for enjoying the sunset and awesome wildlife views.

There is a queen bed, full bed, four twin beds (2 bunk beds) and one pull-out couch. Our home can sleep up to 6 adults and 4 children.
No cleaning fish in the house.
No bachelor/bachelorette parties.
No pets of any kind.
Please be aware that cell service is not the best in our area. We do have WiFi!

We have a 22" charcoal grill onsite for guests to use. Grill brushes and utensils are provided. You must bring your own charcoal. Please clean grill grate after each use.

We are asking that guests please use the public boat launch down the road if the ground leading to our launch is noticeably very wet and soft due to the water level being high -or- if the water level is too low.

One small bundle of firewood per night is included; also feel free to burn as many sticks from our brush pile as you would like.

We didn't get to enjoy the kayaks because the water was too low, but that isn't the fault of the guests. Nice quiet place.

The property was as listed. We had an issue with the TV not working and a text was sent but there was no response. We did not go there to watch TV so it was not a big problem.

Property on stagnant water with green film

The pictures show a prestine home that is older, but very clean and the aerial picture shows a beautiful bay. That is not what we found at this property . We were looking forward to relaxing on beautiful water and kayaking for a few days. What we found was a marshy swamp of water with a greenish film, filled with cattails and the water was not moving at all. If the water is completely stagnant like a marsh, this should have been stated in the description of the property. The water was too gross to even kayak around in. We were shocked given how beautiful the water is around the rest of door country. We ended up leaving the property in the morning and coming back late at night because we didn’t want to be there. In addition the windows, shower and dishes were not clean. When we walked in, we were met with a musty, dusty smell reminiscent of an old folks home. You can see my other reviews online are very positive, so I try to always find the positive in a situation, but given that our experience was so different from the other reviewers, it is only fair to share our experience. I need to mention the notable exception to our experience was that the property does have a great fire pit, which we enjoyed after dark. Property contract was responsive on providing check in information.

Family vacay

This was a great family-friendly place to stay. The location allowed us to be within a pretty close driving distance of the Shrine of our Lady of Champion, several beautiful state parks, cherry picking, etc. Enjoyed renting the kayaks, canoe, and bikes also.

Great summer getaway

We had a great location for relaxing and enjoying activities in Door County while also having downtime at the cottage. It was remote enough to feel out in the country but close enough to all our events. Special bonus to enjoy Kayaks, canoe, campfires, bikes, and grilling. Highly recommend to others.

Family fun in Door County

We had a nice time exploring Door County from this cabin. It worked great for the family and they had plenty of board games to entertain us several times. The back porch is great for a BBQ and evening meal outside.

Family vacay success

We wanted a space for our family to stay for a long weekend where we could be together, have easy access to waterfront and hiking, but separate from the hustle and bustle. We were not disappointed and appreciated the available games, outdoor gathering spaces, and amenities.

Peacfully perfect

The quiet, isolated feel of this cozy cabin was perfect for our stay. The availability of kayaks and bicycles is a strong plus. We so enjoyed sunrise/sunset paddling out in the bay as well as biking through the state park into town center amenities. Cabin was cozy and clean with all the amenities and Rachel was a great facilitator/communicator. One suggestion would be screens for the bedroom windows to keep bugs out while enjoying the cool night breezes. Otherwise - FANTASTIC

Nice and quiet, secluded area with a great firepit that everyone enjoyed. The house could have used a bit more cleaning upon our arrival but it was manageable. 3 separate bedrooms with comfortable beds were a great plus. Overall we have enjoyed our stay there and would come back again.
