Waterfront cottage 3bdrm


This cottage is on the water, overlooking beautiful Sturgeon Bay. Perfect place for fishing, kayaking, bonfires, biking... One block from Otumba Park's tennis, basketball, volleyball courts, playground, and a public beach. gorgeous walk to downtown Sturgeon Bay. The 3 bedrooms in the cottage hold a King, Queen, and a Full bed. Additional Queen and Full sized hide-a-beds are available so we can now accommodate up to 10 guests. Full kitchen dining room for dinner parties with lots of indoor/outdoor space for family cookouts, reunions, or weddings. Musical instruments, vinyl records, movies, games, and books can entertain if the weather keeps you indoors. 2000' waterfront sundeck and 5' fire ring. 84'' dock (June 15th until Sept 15),
I have built/rebuilt it with friends over the years with what I like to call "a hodgepodge collection of my emerging (and emergency) carpentry skills". My 12 year old son and I call Door County home year round and love to travel as much as possible during our guest stays. We hope that you will enjoy the cottage as much as we do. Guests of ALL AGES are ENCOURAGED to play the instruments in the music room. We love to hear it! In fact, feel free to use anything you find in and around the cabin: from tools, appliances, utensils, to the fire pit, and outdoor grills, or even the row boat or kayaks(at your own risk (during the day (and use life vests!))). We are not your typical waterfront rental.
During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Door County Maritime Museum. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the cottage.

Great location, beautiful view, comfortable beds. Responsive Host. Couldn’t ask for anymore! Our family of seven had a wonderful stay. The accommodations had everything we needed, including kayaks and a canoe to explore the bay. Mike was a great host. We would definitely recommend to others!

Terrible experience!
We ended up leaving and finding a hotel instead because the property was filthy to the point we did not feel comfortable staying there. And we paid over $500 for one night! I think the homeowner is a hoarder. There was trash and junk, including an old mattress, wheelchair and broken trampoline outside and inside the property was unclean and run down. We also had difficulty reaching the owner to get the code to get into the property so in the end it took up our entire day and ruined our weekend trip! I am very disappointed with my Vrbo experience and wonder if you vet the properties on your site.

Saturday Night on the Bay
A group of 60+ stayed for one night and loved sitting on the huge deck enjoying the music cascading across from the bay. The cottage is very comfortable for a group and we loved the music room. Michael was a great host! We all would stay there again.

Super clean
Views from bay side of house and deck were great, house was very clean, if a bit dated, there is a city park with playground and sand beach two blocks walk away, the dock is serviceable(24’ boat with ~ 3’ draught), lots of things to do close by, about 1/2 hour to Lake MI by boat, great boat launch/cleaning station five minutes away, quiet neighborhood, lots of games and TVs if the weather turns bad. We’ll stocked kitchen and plenty of towels.

Short Stay
The area where the house is located is beautiful and situated right on the inlet of green bay. Sitting on the balcony looking out over the water at the surroundings were very comforting and exciting. I wish we had planned to stay there for more days than we did. It's very close to other activities within walking distance.

Bay side cottage
This little cottage on the shore of Sturgeon Bay was perfect for our overnight stay in Door County! There were 2 married couples staying for 1 night. It was clean and quaint inside, had a dock and fire pit outside, and was easy to find. The owner was quick to respond to questions through the VRBO messaging system and was extremely accommodating to our needs. For the money we would have spent on 2 rooms at a hotel or B&B we had a way nicer stay here! Will definitely look at this place again when we return to Door County! Thank you M!
