Our Door County home is a treasure...situated on Lake Michigan and alongside a county park that has limited visitors by design. We are very fortunate to have this piece of paradise to enjoy the lake, sun, stars, and each other. Master bath has a double shower and walkout outdoor shower. Details such as cherry wood and slate floors throughout first floor, Door County stone in countertops and fireplace are examples of attention to detail an architect would ensure his guests enjoy. Call to learn of many other amenities!

Lakefront Home, Architect Designed for His Family and Friends
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Jacksonport
The beauty of this property is that it is on the lakeside, you have peaceful, gorgeous views, the lake in all it's splendor; stars at night you've never seen before; daytime privacy, hiking trails unending, and just a short drive away, when you wish to shop, vist art galleries, eat out, etc. you are close by. However, the town just up the road is Baileys Harbor and it has one of the best restaurants we've been to in the world...Savuer. Enjoy! PS I have at our home a long, diverse list of activities for families, couples, nature lovers, shoppers, gallery lovers, boaters, explorers, as well as recommended restaurants, a calendar of events and directions to sites, parks and towns near by, and essential services you may need.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We love the privacy...we have a county park to the south of us, so no one can build or daily encroach on our enjoyment. We have two patios/porches. One is just above the lake with a fire pit and it's wonderful for the evening with friends or early morning tea all on your own. The two person master suite shower and outdoor shower are both a delight. The lights were custom made for the property and add a wonderful texture to the space. The two story living and dining room, along with the Door County stone fireplace are the favored gathering spots throughout the day, with the many sliding glass doors, you feel like you are outside. The Tempur-Pedic king size bed make slumber a dream.
Owner's Map of Jacksonport
My father designed this home to be a fabulous retreat from city life. Crack any window open and the lake is in the room. Windows abound so the outside is inside. When I come to Door County the stress of day to day life just slips away and the wildlife, lake and new areas to discover bring many moments of enjoyment.

Our family (six adults and five small children) had everything we needed and more at Lakeside Paradise. The home is lovely...but homey and inviting. A lot of thought was put into the structure of the house. We enjoyed being out of town, but close enough to all the things we were interested in...salmon fishing, horseback riding, animal farm. Yes, I would recommend a visit to this welcoming property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here! We awoke to glorious sunrises over the Lake. The location of the house near Whitefish Dunes State Park made for peaceful morning runs along the trails. A cool rainy evening allowed us to take advantage of the cozy fireplace. The rest of the evenings were spent relaxing around the outdoor firepit. The home is beautiful, comfortable and well-kept. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We had an incredibly peaceful and relaxing week. We appreciated learning some of the history of the property and seeing pictures from the A-frame days to the current home. It is a beautiful, first class home in an amazing location. The privacy of the property really contributed to the peacefulness. We filled the bird feeders and saw many from the house, including Chickadees, nuthatches, cardinals, blue jays, hummingbirds, blue bunting, pileated wood pecker, gold finches, robins, sea gulls, hawks. Also red squirrels, gray squirrels, a wood chuck and deer. Thank you. Wish we could stay several times a year.

Spending 6 days in this home was a gift! From the moment we walked in we were ecstatic!! Everything is so beautiful... The wood floors & gorgeous staircase, the windows surrounding the house, the beautiful & efficient kitchen... Everything was so perfect! Such an understated elegance & yet completely comfortable & just like home!! I only wish we could have stayed longer!! We'll definitely be back!!!

Review Submitted: 10/20/10
Our group (three "senior" married couples) stayed at this house during 10-17 October 2010. The house fit our needs perfectly... 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms (2 up and 2 down)... each couple had a private bathroom!!! The house is spacious, has many tall windows in every room and breathtaking views of lake Michigan. It is located on a secluded, wooded lot on a rustic country road on the Lake Michigan waterfront immediately adjacent to Cave Point County Park. The week we rented, the fall colors were spectacular!!! The house comes fully equipped with many amenities... all you need to bring is your clothes, toiletries and any food you plan to cook while there. Cell phone connectivity can be iffy, if you don't have one of the large providers and TV reception can be spotty (no cable/dish)... but who wants to watch a lot of TV when there is so much to see and do? Like fresh ground coffee? The house has a coffee bean grinder, a drip coffee pot and a french coffee press. Want to grill out? the house has propane and charcoal grills. Like a fire at night? The house has an indoor fireplace in the cathedral ceiling great room, an outdoor fire grill on the deck by the lake and plenty of kindling and firewood. Like to play board games? The house comes equipped with most of the common games families enjoy playing. Like nature walks? Enjoy the trails of adjacent Cave Point Park and the sandy beaches of Whitefish Dunes State park. Plan to do a lot of automobile sight seeing... there are beautiful vistas along the roads that run along the waterfront and that cross the peninsula. There are wineries, scenic lighthouses, quaint villages and excellent restaurants all within easy driving distance Bleys Market in nearby Jacksonport can provide all of your food needs, including superior meat from animals raised in the county and butchered at the market. Your landlord is very friendly to talk to and can give you all sorts of great suggestions of things to see and places to visit. We highly recommend renting this house for your Door County vacation!!!!

The pictures do not do justice to this home. The fireplace alone is a stonemawson's masterpiece. The views were great, stars engaging and teh sunrise was the best. The house is very comfortable and allows for the quiet enjoyment of the property and the area.
