Accommodations: Cottage, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)
[OWNER'S NOTE:August 8-15 and fall dates available]
LOCATION...at Anne's Cottage you will be just over a mile from downtown Fish Creek in a secluded and well-appointed waterfront cottage. For swimming, fishing, star gazing and sunsets that can take your breath away, there is a beach deck and a swimming pier. The shore front cottage, set back just 30 feet from the water, is not visible from the street. The only traffic that you're likely to hear is boat traffic. Anne's Cottage, with a rare 150 feet of shore, is situated on one of a number of early 20th century estates in a Fish Creek waterfront summer colony dubbed "millionaire's row". An on site caretaker is available for any house-related problems.
PEOPLE JUST LOVE...the screened-in porch overlooking the water. There is a multipurpose table & four chairs and two wicker armchairs & settee. Some guests tell us that they have never eaten a meal in the kitchen because it is so very pleasant dining on the porch.
INSIDE...the living room has a classic stone fireplace, and seasoned firewood is provided for you. Are you readers? Our bookshelf is well stocked. You'll find the kitchen to be nicely equipped, and its eating area offers a great view of the water. There are two bedrooms, one with a queen-sized bed, the other with twin beds. The bathroom has a tub/shower.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD...is quiet, beautiful, and special. The trees meet over the wildflower-lined street, offering a splendid route for a walk or bike ride into town. Be on the watch for wild turkeys, deer, pileated woodpeckers, hummingbirds, foxes, hawks, and other wildlife. Just in: add a bald eagle family!
SO MANY PLEASANT WAYS TO PASS THE TIME...relish a leisurely cup of coffee on the porch listening to our cardinals sing while you breeze through a sudoku or crossword puzzle. Settle in on an adirondack chair overlooking the water, breathe in the natural cedar aromatherapy, and read a book or catch a glorious nap on the hammock in the sun or shade.
Hang out by the water and see pelicans and gulls soaring over the waves. Enjoy a glass of wine & a spectacular sunset over the water and listen for the loons. And "at night the stars put on a show for free...", maybe even Northern lights, without city lights to dim the dazzling display. At the end of a magical day at your private waterfront cottage in beautiful Fish Creek Wisconsin, fall asleep to the sound of the waves. It will be oh-so-relaxing.
Many of our guests have pronounced the cottage, the waterfront setting, and the neighborhood to be quite simply enchanting. They value the privacy here, as well as the convenience of being so centrally located in Door County. There are a number of guests who have vacationed here regularly for 30 years. Once you stay here, you will understand why!

This note comes with our overflowing gratitude for providing an absolutely perfect cottage for a most perfect week in Fish Creek. Although we've been to Fish Creek many times, this is the first time we've just "kicked back" having a non-schedule. Oh, how great it has been!...You have made your cottage so easy to live in--all is so convenient and clean! We are so unwound and contented that it will be difficult to return to schedules. We truly want to come again!

What a gem this cottage is! Nothing better than going to sleep and hearing the waves crash--in fact our 16 month old son slept the best he has ever slept, which meant WE SLEPT TOO, so that alone was worth the trip...I know we'll be back to this beautiful cottage that has obviously been well-loved and cherished over the years.

COMMENTS FROM OUR 2007 GUEST BOOK: Well, everyone still loves the water and its viewing, and the many ten-year olds who wrote for their families ignored the cottage charms to urge us all to "swim a lot!" (I've modestly shaved the number of exclamation marks.)Besotted as we owners are with this special spot, we wonder whether prospective guests want to read another ten times that our guests really do love the cottage. A poem, long list of cot- age charms and Christmas letter are too long. So a small sample follows. Reserve the cottage for the full story!
