******SUMMER- 2 SPOTS LEFT, Jun 1-4 & Aug 15-22 ******FALL- 2 SPOTS LEFT, Sep 15-18 & 22-25

If the dates you’d like are unavailable, please consider staying with us in the off season … or reach out to be put on our waitlist.

Our sweeping water views and wooded, secluded setting are unparalleled! Come relax in this charming waterfront home; perfectly located at the end of a quiet dead end lane but also within walking distance of Sister Bay.

Sunny Bluff is the perfect spot to recharge (or even work remotely; our internet is STRONG!) all while enjoying the natural beauty of Door County. As you pull up to our cottage and the sweeping vista comes into view, it will take your breath away!
Winter on the peninsula is so very under-rated in Door County; enjoy the stunning natural beauty of a winter wonderland, without the crowds! Think there’s nothing to do in DC in the winter? That’s a myth! Get some fresh air with a snowy hike, a cross-country ski venture, or try your hand at snowshoes, a kick sled, or a fat-tire bike. Spend the day shopping (along with lunch and a spa visit!), or save your energy for an evening of fine dining, a theatre performance, or live music. Throw a few frames at Sister Bay Bowl, create art at Hands-On Studio, take a trolley tour, or visit a winery / brewery. Never a dull day on the peninsula!

And with our fantastic location on the south edge of Sister Bay, restaurants abound. Think no restaurants are open in winter? Another myth! Within a 5-10 min drive you can find a great variety; from fine dining (Chop and Thyme) … to great bar food (SB Bowl and Husby’s.) Not to mention yummy spots for pizza, breakfast and coffee! (Wild Tomato, Al Johnson’s, and Happy Coffee.) Or maybe you need sushi, then a freshly-brewed beer? We have that too; both within walking distance! (Fat Belly and PeachBarn Brewery.) And those are just those right in Sister Bay! Neighboring town restaurants open year round include Mink River, Chives, Cornerstone, DC Brewing, Sway, Hill Street, Barringer’s, and Blue Bear, to name a few of our favorites. Also ‘The Pig’ is just across Hwy 42 so groceries are within a 3 min drive as well.

But! After you’ve enjoyed all the adventures the area has to offer, coming home to the charms of Sunny Bluff is pretty special as well! After a day out, walk home on ‘our’ stunning waterfront trail; an easy 3/4 mile stroll from the town beach to our front door. Once back at Sunny Bluff, sink into our bubbling HOT TUB with a glass of wine ... our water views at sunset, high on the bluff, are breath-taking in any season! Once night falls, grab your popcorn and cozy up in front of a crackling fire for board games or movie night … or star gaze from the hot tub … the possibilities are endless.

General layout: this bluff-top home features 3 levels of indoor living as well as an expansive deck area outdoors. Inside, the open-concept main floor offers ample space for your group to gather for lake-view meals, board games, and fireside conversations. However with all beds/baths on the upper and lower levels, members of your group can also enjoy complete privacy if the mood strikes for quiet time, reading or napping!

Main floor: along with stunning water views from the entire north side of the house, the main living area offers hardwood floors, a sectional sofa (new as of Jul '21) in front of the wood-burning fireplace, seating for 6-8 at the dining table, and an antique game table with 2 chairs snuggled up to a bay window. This level also offers a flat screen smart tv, a dvd movie library (children's movies included), and a cupboard full of games/puzzles. Wireless internet and cable tv is also available throughout the house. The adjacent kitchen (newly remodeled as of Mar '21) features all the major/smaller appliances you expect, including a dishwasher, blender, crockpot, waffle-maker, coffee grinder, and hand mixer. Envision enjoying a glass of wine while some of your party cooks while others enjoy the game table, all set to the backdrop of passing boats in summer or a crackling fire in winter.

Upper level: ascend the staircase at the front of the house and you’ll find a large master bedroom with expansive lake and tree-top views, a king-size bed, an easy chair/reading nook, a large closet, and a flat screen smart tv. Next door is a second bedroom (also with amazing lake views), featuring 2 twin beds and an easy chair. Finally, this floor also features a full bath with tub/shower and a lovely forest view. Both upper / lower levels have wall to wall carpeting as well as designer-quality bed linens, pillows, and mattresses. (Another special touch; we have all our bed linens sent out, for professional laundering/pressing.)

Lower level: descend the staircase at the back of the house and you’ll find another charming partial-water-view room, complete with a queen bed, 2 easy chairs, a flat-screen smart tv, and a full en-suite bath with tub and shower. In addition, the sweet bunkroom adjoining this room features Pottery Barn bunkbeds/bedding, perfect for children or teens. There is also a small unfinished basement room just off the bunk room, with a front-loading washer/dryer that guests are welcome to use.

Outdoor spaces: while inside couldn't be cozier, our outdoor places to gather (or to sneak off to, for a minute of privacy!) abound. The front of the house features a welcoming garden spot with comfortable seating, partial water views and a traditional firepit; a wonderful spot to enjoy that perfectly-toasted marshmallow as the sun sets.

On the back of the house the main deck, accessed from the kitchen, features dining space for 6, a gas grill, and a cozy propane fire table (new in Jul '22.) Here you can enjoy the sounds of nature all around while you curl up with a cozy blanket on our sectional sofa or a lounge chair (Pottery Barn deck furniture was all new in Apr '21.) And last but not least ... our small lower deck features our year-round toasty and bubbling hot tub (new in Aug '22.) All are ideal spots for enjoying your favorite beverage ... #hottubstargazing!

To access our bluff stairs down to the water, take the path around the left (west) side of house. Continue across the small deck and you'll easily find our stairs; at the bottom simply turn right (east) and stroll the charming walking trail which leads into town. As it runs parallel to the water, you’ll enjoy dramatic forest/ soothing lake/ towering bluff views as you meander into Sister Bay (from our stairs it’s approx 3/4 mile to the edge of town.) As the trail ends you'll pop out of woods into the parking lot of Yacht Club condos (next to Waterfront Park / the town beach.) We also have a dock in place in season (May-Sep); our guests are welcome to enjoy it for fishing, swimming, sunbathing, and boat/sunset watching!
