About this property

Water front home on Lilly Bay!

As soon as you turn into the cedar-lined drive of this charming property, you’ll know you’ve found the perfect hideaway. Private, yet close to the conveniences of Sturgeon Bay, this spacious retreat offers stunning views of Lake Michigan from nearly every room. The lovely setting is enjoyable in every season.
The home can easily accommodate up to twelve people. Two bedrooms with queen beds are located on the main level, along with a full bath. The master suite makes up the entire second level. It includes a king bed, walk in closet, large full bath with whirlpool tub. In addition, there are three queen pullout couches located on the main floor.
The common spaces provide many areas to relax and unwind. Cozy up in the living room in front of the wood burning fireplace. Two unique sunrooms offer unobstructed views of the water. Stream a movie using your own services on the huge flat screen TV or play games in the family room. Make delicious meals in the fully equipped kitchen and gather the family and friends around the large dining table.
Experience the beauty of Door County in the huge yard that faces the lake. Wake early and watch a gorgeous sunrise on the water. Dine outside on one of two large decks. Kick back in a lounge chair and read while listening to the waves on the shore. Play yard games or sit around the firepit in the cool of the evening air.
Door County Land Trust natural areas are located directly across the street from the property and are accessible for hiking. Portage Park, located two miles south on Lake Forest Park Road, offers a sand beach to swim and picnic. An easy, ten minute drive to dining and shopping in nearby Sturgeon Bay.

Great getaway

We needed a change of scenery due to the pandemic and this property was perfect. There were only 3 of us but there was plenty of room for more. The photos were very accurate and we enjoyed our stay. The beach wasn't very big but there was a public beach nearby where we were able to walk a long way. The sunrise was gorgeous and we loved hearing the sound of the crashing waves. I would highly recommend this property.

Beautiful Getaway on the Water

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. When you first walk in, the first thing you'll notice is the gorgeous view of the water. That view is available from the 2 sunrooms, living room, and the master bedroom. Our kids had a great time playing by the shore and in the large backyard and during the day we took advantage of all the state parks and beaches that are nearby. The property itself is very beautiful and has a spacious layout. It was super clean and fully equipped. I highly recommend this place!!!

Door County is a fantastic vacay destination!

The house is nice but beds on first floor were not comfortable. Several windows were missing screens. The kitchen definitely needs updating. The backyard is phenomenal though, right on the water with its own beach area!

Friends trip

We really liked that the property was located right on the water. The outside area was a great to watch the sunrise and visit with friend's. And go for morning walks on Lake forest park road. The inside of the property could really use some updating and maintenance. The kitchen cabinets etc.The lock on the door off the dining area was very hard to lock and unlock. The property met all of our needs however the downstairs beds were not very comfortable.

Scheduled 2 months in advance. Was left stranded because I couldn’t open the door called customer service and they ended up canceling the stay because they couldn’t even get in contact with owner. They should definitely get better locks for the front door.

Fall trip 2023

I love the lake side of Door County so the scenery outside the house and the sound of the lake were wonderful ! Though they are small issues there were 2 things: 1) I think the listing said one of the three bedrooms had 2 beds and it did not. Each bedroom had one bed but we did use the pullout couches 2) since we did pay a sizable cleaning fee, I will mention that the ceiling fans needed dusting. All in all our group had a great time. Thank you !

Family meet-up

We came from Michigan to meet our cousins from Minnesota, who we hadn’t seen in 3 years due to the pandemic. This space was a perfect fit for our 2 families of 4 with 4 kids between 8-12 years old. There was plenty of space to have private conversations, play different games, divided sleeping quarters, and yet very cozy. The backyard was amazing for the kids to play in. The view was stunning and we could have sat and listened to the waves crashing against the shore for hours. The kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated having wood available for a bonfire. It was a lovely getaway weekend with both convenience and seclusion. We definitely recommend to others!

Awesome!

We had a great time in early September at this beachfront house. The lake was calm and we spent long hours in the water and enjoying the outdoors around the house. One thing to note for the swimmers, once you go past the rocky beach, the lake bottom is sandy and is waist deep for at least 30 yards in. We had an inflatable boat and had lots of fun with the kids jumping off it in the cool water. Will come back!

The perfect spot

We loved nearly everything about this rental! It was clean, well decorated, right on the water, and a great backyard for the kiddos and campfires. The only semi complaint I have is that the king size mattress is very VERY firm. I felt like I was sleeping on the floor.

Great Lake View!

We stayed here with our extended family (7 adults and 3 kids) and all fit comfortably. The house was very clean inside and the view of the lake was OUTSTANDING! We were lucky to have a little bit of a beach the first few days of our stay, but by the end of the week, it had washed away. The only constructive feedback we could offer is having room-darkening shades, especially in the upstairs bedroom. During our stay, the sun was up at 5am which meant we were up pretty early. Other than that, it was fantastic, and we would definitely stay here again.

Not bad but not impressed.

The worst negative point is: This place has serious mosquito problem. I hadn’t ever seen so many mosquitoes in one place and we were not able to use the yards at all. It was clean but not spotless clean though. Bedrooms are very small. Nice view. And early check-in was provided to us. Check-in instruction were good.

This is a gorgeous house. Place was immaculately clean. Nice big backyard with nice view of the water. One day it was pretty high and choppy and the next day it was calm and we could walk on the sand. Kitchen was fully stocked with anything you could possibly need.

Excellent property with gorgeous views

My husband, our 4 children, and my parents were all in need of a getaway. We were looking for something that instantly relaxed you the minute you walk through the doors. This does exactly that! The views of the lake are stunning! Views are from all over the house. The house itself is clean, spacious, and we'll maintained. The location makes you feel so remote and yet it is just minutes to town. Listening to the sounds of the waves at night when you fall asleep was something we won't forget. We will definitely return to this house.

Beautiful location. A couple of issues

Overall, the group had a really good time. But there were a couple of issues that hindered our enjoyment. First the picture of the beach included in the listing was misleading. The lake must have been at an historically low level when it was taken. When we were there, the lake came to the bottom of the big rocks. When the water was clear, you could still work your way into the lake without too much risk. But when there were waves, you couldn’t see where there were big, sharp rocks under the surface. Also, the French doors at the back of the house were broken. Considering that we spent most of our time in the back, walking around to the front of the house any time we needed to go inside became rather inconvenient. There was a sign saying the doors would be replaced soon, but that didn’t do my group any good. Again, overall we had a nice stay, but I figure pointing out the negatives makes a more useful review.
