Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

"Relaxing, beautiful spot to unwind! Janet's home has it all. Perfect location, right next to two beautiful parks. Easy drive to multiple restaurants, breweries, orchards, etc. I loved the location. My entire family had a wonderful time. The layout of the house is perfect for larger families." - Lisa

“This Lakeside home is the perfect family getaway. I would recommend this location for anyone looking to enjoy the best of Door County.” - Caelyn

☆☆ BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS☆☆
We have three lake view bedrooms each with their own bathroom plus a 1/2 bath which makes for a comfortable stay for the whole family. If you need an extra bed, you can use the comfy queen size sleeper sofa in the loft as an additional sleeping space, increasing the total sleeping accommodations to eight.

The primary bedroom is on the first floor and faces Lake Michigan, with walk-out access for a morning stroll to the water. Step through the doors for some bird watching and fresh air any time you please. You'll get a great night's sleep on the king-sized Tempur-Pedic bed, and the two closets and dresser give you plenty of space to unpack your belongings.

This bedroom has a lovely ensuite bathroom with slate floors, double sinks, a double-headed shower, and access to an outdoor shower. There’s also a bathtub for a relaxing soak and a bidet.

Additionally, a half bath is conveniently located off the main living area on the first level.

Upstairs, you’ll find two more spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Both bedrooms face the lake and have spectacular views right from the beds, both of which have new queen-sized Casper mattresses. Many of our guests crack the windows to be lulled to sleep by the sound of the lake. One of the queen bedrooms has access to a private balcony, perfect for catching beautiful sunsets over the lake or snapping some photos to remember your stay.

The upper-level bathrooms are located in the hallway, providing easy access to both bedrooms. One has a large walk-in shower, while the other is equipped with a shower/tub combo.

☆☆ KITCHEN & LIVING/DINING ROOM ☆☆
The stunning common areas are a joy to relax in, thanks to the high ceilings, exposed wood, and slate floors that seamlessly blend the indoor space with the outdoor surroundings.

Our open floor plan allows you to cook while you interact with those at the dining room table or in the living room, making this the perfect spot for connecting with loved ones.

The kitchen has everything you’ll need for cooking tasty meals for the whole family, and you can enjoy stunning views of Lake Michigan as you do so. We’ve provided pots, pans, dishes, spices, olive oil, paper products, a coffee maker (standard drip Cuisinart), a mini food processor, a blender, a toaster, a microwave, utensils, a knife set, and more! We often have holidays at the house so we've tried to think of all the things a family needs to prepare meals at home. We also have a propane Weber grill just outside the kitchen if you enjoy grilling. If you are wondering if we have a particular kitchen item, please don't hesitate to ask.

Once it comes time to eat, you can enjoy meals together around the handcrafted dining room table. If you'd like more seating, we have a card table you can add on to expand seating from 6 to 8. There is a sunny breakfast nook that overlooks the yard and water beyond, which is a great place to sip your morning coffee and watch for hummingbirds.

Across from the kitchen and dining area, the cathedral ceiling living room beckons with its comfortable furniture and Door County stone two-story fireplace. It has a propane starter for natural wood and our caretaker stocks nice dry wood right next to the fireplace. We replaced the furniture in 2020 and when doing so, we added an extra couch so the family can spread out in comfort. Next to the fireplace, you'll see a pen and ink watercolor of the shoreline drawn by my Uncle, an accomplished artist. There’s no better spot for hanging out as a family, making plans for an exciting day around Door County, or simply relaxing as the sun or moon rises over the lake.

The upper-level loft is where you’ll go to enjoy fun movie nights. This is our entertainment center, complete with a Smart TV and more comfy furniture. We have Netflix, Amazon Prime, and YouTube TV for your favorite sports, adventures, and shows. The loft converts to a 4th bedroom or playroom for the kids.

We have recently added air conditioning, new furnace, oven, refrigerator, microwave, outdoor propane grill and replaced the living room furniture/rug. There is also a new beautiful stone stairway to the lake.

☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆
Our home is all about bringing the outdoors in, but we also have a fantastic outdoor space for you to enjoy during all four seasons. There’s a wooden deck along the lake’s edge with handmade Adirondack chairs and a 36" fire pit - perfect for evening s’mores or early morning cups of coffee.

In the summer, you can launch your kayaks and canoes directly off our shore, and the deck has plenty of spots for sitting back and enjoying the solitude of your surroundings. We also have a gas grill if you feel like having a BBQ.

We are 10 minutes from the town of Jacksonport, a darling community north of us, with the best meat counter in all of Door County. The store owner at Bleys' has meat from his pigs and cattle in his store cooler. It doesn't get any more farm-to-table than that! Jacksonport has a beautiful sandy beach and a classic playground for kids. There is also Town Hall Bakery, the most down-home bakery you can imagine.

Across the peninsula, just 20 minutes away is Egg Harbor. They have the best grocery store in all of Door County: Main Street Market. Super wine collection, gourmet cheeses, fresh produce, and a wide selection of high-end food. Don't miss the frozen scones!! Also, our favorite boutique home goods store, Maxwell House, is a must.

Just 15 minutes north of us is Baileys Harbor, a bustling town with fabulous restaurants, cool shops and Door County Brewery, that has live music, great food in the high season, and friendly people.

My kids and I stayed at Janet's place for four nights over the Thanksgiving break. We all had just a wonderful time. The house is amazing for so many reasons. Some of those reasons are the way the house is stocked with everything you would ever need, the view of the lake can be seen from most of the rooms, There is an amazing fireplace and the cabinets have lots of games to play. All of the cabinets are labelled so it's easy to find all that you need. The bedrooms are all furnished with comfy beds and a great view of the lake. I really liked the fact that there is only one tv in the house. So you are not just sitting around watching tv instead of enjoying your surroundings. The house is located very close to Cave Point Rock and White Fish Dunes. We went to cave point rock 3 times while we were there. It's amazing to watch the waves crashing in to the rocks. We were able to walk down to the beach and let our dogs run all over the beach.I would not change a single thing about this fabulous house and it's view and location. My kids and I give Janet's house and yard and view of the lake a 10 out of 10, 5 stars is not enough. Janet is also very reachable and really thought of everything to make our stay so wonderful.

Can’t beat an outdoor fire by the lake (in the winter!)

Spent a chill 4-days over Christmas with family and friends at this beautiful lakefront house. The location is amazing and the trail leading to Cave Point county park is a huge bonus. A great property to cook, play games, listen to the waves and hike/walk the trails. Very private, but close to the shops and restaurants in Door County too. If you think of all the things you forget to bring to a VRBO that you might need (soap, napkins, tin foil, spices, knife sharpener, etc.), this house has it all.

Spectacular Spot in Door County

We’ve visited Door County for many years and have never stayed anywhere as beautiful as this house. From the master bedroom you can fall asleep looking at the moon over the lake, have an outdoor fire over the lake, or sit in the spacious living room with tons of windows. The owner was very nice and communicative. Highly recommend!!

Perfect location, beautiful home. Loved it!

We cmae up on a snowy early March weekend for a ladies weekend of hiking and cooking. We loved the home and were all trying to figure out how to return with our families in the summer! I cannot think of what could be improved; all beds were comfortable and we loved the fire so much. The access to Whitefish Dunes/Cave Point was amazing; we hiked there twice. A perfect location.

About the host

Hosted by Janet Slater

Host profile image
My father designed this home to be a fabulous retreat from city life. Crack any window open and the lake is in the room. Windows abound so the outside is inside. When I come to Door County the stress of day to day life just slips away and the wildlife, lake and new areas to discover bring many moments of enjoyment and lasting memories.

Why they chose this property

The beauty of this property is that it is on the lakeside, you have peaceful, gorgeous views, the lake in all it's splendor; a full sky of stars; daytime privacy, hiking trails unending, and just a short drive away, when you wish to shop, visit art galleries, eat out, etc. you are close by.
I have at our home a long, diverse list of activities for families, couples, nature lovers, shoppers, gallery lovers, boaters, explorers, as well as recommended restaurants, a calendar of events and directions to sites, parks and towns near by, and essential services you may need. We are also happy to give you tips for things you'd like to do.

What makes this property unique

We love the privacy...we have a county park to the south of us, so no one can build or daily encroach on our enjoyment. We have two patios/porches. One is just above the lake with a fire pit and it's wonderful for the evening with friends or early morning tea all on your own. The two person master suite shower and outdoor shower are both a delight. The lights were custom made for the property and add a wonderful texture to the space. The two story living and dining room, along with the Door County stone fireplace are the favored gathering spots throughout the day, with the many glass doors, you feel like you are outside. The Tempur-Pedic king size bed in the master suite and Casper mattresses in the two upstairs bedrooms make slumber a dream. Enjoy!
