About this property

ON THE WATER - Best Sand Beach in Door County!

The cottage doesn't look like much from the OUTSIDE. Please take a close look at the pictures on the inside. My mother and father built this Log Cabin in 1950 on the 'Quiet Side' of Door County near the borderline of the Whitefish Dunes State Park. As you look out the windows you will see beautiful Lake Michigan along with white birch trees, an assortment of evergreen trees, the sand dunes. The beautiful Sand Beach begins at your door. The sand on the beach is so clean that it 'squeaks' when you walk on it. You will absolutely love our beach! Relax and build sandcastles with your kids. The water is very clean and the drop off is very gradual - ideal for kids of any age.

The furniture in the log cabin has been updated and is very comfortable. The bathroom is very small BUT there is a "dressing room" adjacent with plenty of counter space and an additional sink and mirror. In September 2018 all the mattresses were replaced with new ones.

Due to COVID-19 all members of our cleaning service have received additional training in enhanced cleaning and disinfecting. For more information regarding our enhanced cleaning click this link - https://www.homeaway.com/discoveryhub/tips-and-resources/improve-performance/covid-19-cleaning-tips.

Amazing!

Literally the best place on the water. You have to see it to believe it. We had the most peaceful wonderful time with our dogs. Morning walks along the beach. Coffee with the sunrise. Wine with the sunset. The cabin had everything you would need to enjoy a relaxing stay. The owners are wonderful and were very accommodating and friendly. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We already booked a week for next summer and will continue to do so every year .

Amazing beach

This beach spot is just amazing- the sand, chairs to relax and read and watch the sunrise. The energy in the house feels relaxed and welcoming. Fred was a gracious host and we will definitely be back.
