About this property

Historic Remodeled 1938 Log Cabin – Walk to Sister Bay

We invite you to stay in our lovingly restored vintage Door County cottage. Historic, fresh and charming describes this remodeled log cabin built by a Norwegian immigrant in 1938.

This home is ideally located along the desirable Bay Shore Drive in Sister Bay! A short 5 minute walk into town allows you to take advantage of the park, marina, beach, boutiques, restaurants, ice cream / coffee shops and more, then retreat to the private quiet cabin to sit, relax and unwind. Additionally, we are centrally located in the county making visits to Gills Rock, Ellison Bay, Fish Creek, Ephraim, Egg Harbor and Bailey's Harbor all within a short drive (5-20 min).

This lovely 2 bedroom, 1 bath, full kitchen, cottage provides everything you'll need for a pleasant and relaxing stay. First floor: bedroom, open family / dining room, bathroom and kitchen. Upstairs: spacious bunkroom.

A large wrap around deck and front yard is a relaxing place to gather with family and friends...enjoy your morning coffee watching the people of Sister Bay pass by, grill / dine on the back deck, sip an evening cocktail watching the sun set over the bay, then end your day with a bonfire, smores and a little star gazing.

We host guests year round and ensure your comfort with a whole house furnace and central air conditioning. Please come soak up all four seasons in Sister Bay. We hope to see you soon.

Note: For safety and security purposes, one outdoor camera is located on the property. It is mounted and clearly visible on the rear exterior of the cabin. It monitors activity in the parking area.

For a “cabiny” feel, there some nice modern features. Very comfortable and adorable! Great location and easy to find. Loved that we really felt like we were getting away! Our host left us a bottle of champagne for our anniversary and we thought that was a very nice touch!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Sister Bay at this log cabin. This was the second time we stayed here. A very well maintained and beautiful home made our trip most enjoyable for us. The kitchen was a perfect size to make the occasional breakfast and/or supper when needed. Very comfortable couch and bed. We enjoyed sitting on the wrap around deck during the evening hours with our dog. Michelle kept in touch with us to make sure everything was great. Will definitely stay there again.

Everything about the place was great; would recommend! We will definitely try to stay here again the next time we visit Sister Bay. The complementary chocolates and bottle of wine made us feel especially welcome. One small issue: I wish it were possible to walk to and from town on a sidewalk instead of walking along a road with moderate traffic; but you're only on the road for about five minutes so it's not that bad.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle (A Door Away, LLC)

Host profile image
Our family has enjoyed vacationing and living in Door County for decades. In the winter of 2020 my husband, my son and I fell in love with and purchased this cozy little log cabin in Sister Bay in the hopes of sharing the Door County experience with other families. Over the next 4 months, we worked to remodel and update the home, keeping as much of the historic charm as possible. In June 2020, we began welcoming guests and it's been a pleasure hosting so many wonderful people and helping them create their own Door County vacation memories.
