We came to explore Caves Point and Whitefish Dunes State Park in the winter only a few miles away so the location was perfect. Also near by were all the wonderful little unique towns we love about Door County with fantastic eating options, shopping and wine tasting. After exhilarating winter hikes we came back to this cozy little cottage with the wood burning stove that offered a beautiful view of the lake. Clean, comfortable beds and all the wood we needed to keep the stove going we couldn’t have asked for more.

We loved how clean, cozy and quaint the cabin was, so many details to make our stay comfortable! We loved how quiet, peaceful and relaxing the cabin and yard were. Hearing the waves roll upon the rocks and the birds sing were truly music to our ears! The spot was so close to so many fun parks and beaches!

The cabin was just perfect for the two of us. It was clean, comfortable, and the air conditioning was great! The location was the best! It was a 10 second walk from the cottage to the lake and you could see the lake from the cottage and hear the sound of the waves. The breeze off the lake kept the mosquitoes at bay so we could sit in the chairs at the edge of the lake and be quite comfortable.

The Perfect Spot

The location was wonderful and not overly touristy but close to all the small towns on the Peninsula. The house was so creatively done and being right on Lake Michigan was such a treat. A perfect spot to unwind.

A great Door Co. get away

My teenage son & I had a wonderful time staying in this cozy cottage on Lake Michigan. We loved the quiet side, and the cottage was an excellent location for our adventures of hiking, swimming, and eating lobster rolls. We can't wait to make another visit and stay in this charming property again.

Wonderful Stay!

This precious cottage was a perfect stay for me and my mom. I highly recommend it and would stay here again! The view including the sunrises was amazing and we loved being so close to the water. This was our first time to Door County and probably won't be the last. It's a wonderful area and we enjoyed all the little towns and driving on the relaxing and calming backroads - great getaway from city life hustle and bustle! So glad we did this trip and didn't want to leave, a special place indeed!

We love this place!

Wow … this small cabin worked out great for our family of four. Right on the lake, with large windows facing the lake … everything you need in the kitchen … and while on the “quiet side” of Door County, it was a quick drive to the other side — where we traveled often to Fish Creek / Ephraim / Sister Bay. Can’t say enough good things about our stay here.
