About this property

Old Fashioned Suite - Cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan

The Old Fashioned Suite is a quaint cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan. The main room is an old log cabin. We remodeled this comfortable space into the main living area with a wood-burning fireplace, bathroom, and laundry accommodations.

Added to the front of the cabin are a new kitchen, counter for cooking/eating, and dining area. Above the living area is a roomy loft with bunk beds. Facing the lake, at the back of the cabin, is a bright and sunny sitting room with a pull-out sofa and a master bedroom with a queen-size bed.

A spacious deck faces the lake and provides a porch swing and umbrella-topped table and chairs for open-air dining. Adirondack chairs surround a large fire pit near the shoreline. Sunrises and moon showers can often be seen.

It is fun to see the large ships and sailboats as you enjoy the sight and sounds of the waves. The nearby ship canal and the Land Trust have many hiking trails and there are several sandy beaches that are accessible by foot, bike, or car. The property is located in a secluded setting far off the main road making it a wonderful quiet escape to enjoy campfires, swimming, and outside activities.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Host profile image
My husband and our family have been coming to Door County most of our lives and thoroughly love the location. It was always a dream of mine to own a place on S. Lake Michigan Drive. In 2007, we were lucky enough to find our dream cabin.

Why they chose this property

After a decade of enjoying that little piece of heaven, the opportunity arose to expand our dream and purchase the neighboring site and cabin which we now lovingly refer to as "The Old Fashioned Suite".

What makes this property unique

This property offers seclusion and privacy.
