The property is on water front with backyard deck facing the northern open water body. It would be a good location for northern light watching. The host is very helpful and professional. We are very happy and enjoyed the staying.

cozy lakefront stay!

We had such a great time at this property for Memorial Day Weekend. The cabin was very spacious, clean, and just feet away from the water. There is also a fireplace, which was great to light up every night!

This chalet was the perfect base for our Door County weekend. It’s beautiful, spotless, and incredibly comfortable, with stunning views over the lake. We loved starting our mornings with coffee by the fire as the sun came up, and ending the day with a relaxing soak in the hot tub. The location was ideal—close enough to explore the peninsula, yet perfectly peaceful for an up-north retreat. Highly recommend—10/10!

Wonderful Haley

The Chalet was an amazing place to stay. The hot tub was great to have after a day in blacksmith class. Had all the amenities you could want and the fire pit near the beach provided amazing views.

A lovely getaway on the water!

My spouse and I really enjoyed staying at the Chalet! The location was amazing, and being right by the water was delightful. We'll have to come back when the dock is in, and when we can kayak. Jen was a responsive and thoughtful host, and we greatly appreciate her hospitality.

Thank you for noting that it needed cleaning. I had utilized it more as a storage area. It is empty and very clean now. Glad you enjoyed your stay.
