Private & cozy, filled with light, clean and well equipped. Comfortable outdoor seating. Close to public beach access. Go stargazing on clear nights on the beach (though watch your step as it’s very rocky) - amazing! Location is in the country but short drive to Sturgeon Bay.

We loved this house! It was very clean and stocked with anything we needed. We really enjoyed how it’s tucked in the woods..such a peaceful and beautiful spot. We saw deer and turkeys each day as we were driving near the property. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. I’d definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Somehow nicer than expected from the pictures. A quiet wooded area about 15 minutes from downtown Sturgeon Bay. It was much better option than a couple hotel rooms for our family of four for about the same cost.

Wonderful and relaxing to sum it up - we’ve been to Door County several times and the rental was the most comfortable, quiet and pleasant experience. It is a fresh, clean and roomy cabin. We enjoyed the deck seating for coffee, played Skipbo and were able to walk around the neighborhood just enjoying nature. We did get to Sturgeon Bay, Cave Point park and Potawatomi Park to check out areas we had not been before. These were nearby for short trips. Special thanks to Tom who was easy to reach and returned my call immediately. He resolved my concern the same afternoon.

July getaway

Loved the privacy. Everything we could have needed, super thoughtful. Saw deer, turkey, and squirrels all the first day. Disappointed no water access to even walk to for a sunset viewing, appeared to be all private unless we missed something, but we did drive around the neighborhood and saw nothing. Otherwise perfect stay.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Brolin

Host profile image
We are a young couple from Southeast Wisconsin and we just bought this second home to enjoy with our two daughters, fulfilling our dream of having an amazing place to get away for a respite when desired.

Why they chose this property

We found this property when walking with our brother/brother-in-law (who is just down the road right on the Bay) and ran into the original owners/builders of the property when it wasn't even for sale! They were so proud of their home they mentioned they may be interested in selling - since it was the second home of our dreams, well maintained, and near family, it was a match made in happy. Not to mention it's SO close to all the amenities Door County has to offer!

What makes this property unique

The home is nestled on a hillside in the wonderful wilderness on Sherwood Point near Potawatomi State Park and Idlewild golf course. Almost daily we are greeted by dear watching us through the windows while enjoying our coffee. A local tavern with excellent food (Johnny G's Fishing Hole) is within walking distance and their fish fry on Fridays and prime rib on Saturdays is outstanding! Sturgeon Bay is nearby with excellent shopping at some of our favorite stores including: Bliss Marketplace, Northern Territory, Bayside Bargains, Door County Antiques and Consignment Mall, Cornucopia, and T. Simon Jewelers! Excellent restaurants: Inn at Cedar Crossing, Trattoria Dal Santo, Kick Coffee, 5 and J Coffee to name a few!
