We loved staying at the Cottage on the Lake and cannot wait to return. The location is wonderful with the lovely private beach, the game room provided endless entertainment, and we appreciated the hosts' organization of the house. Thank you - we cannot recommend this property highly enough.

Bonnie and her family were wonderful to work with. Took such great care of our home. Super easy to communicate with and would definitely host again.
Thank you Bonnie!
Very clean. Good location with an easy drive around Door County. Responsive hosts whenever we had questions. Beautiful area right on the lake - especially to watch the sunrise! Very kind and left a cute gift basket for us :)
We've stayed a few different places in Door County, and this stretch in Jacksonport is my favorite. House is well appointed and comfortable for a large family; or multiple friends. Beach is steps out your door and the provided SUP and kayaks were a hit. Game room offers fun activities in case it's raining!
Owners were very responsive and helpful.
We had a great stay!
My husband and I have been traveling to door county for the past 12 years during the fall, but we quickly realized fall time wasn’t as much fun for our two small children. So we decided to find a place on the beach and this cottage did not disappoint! It was even been than the listing, and I know we will be back! Rita was amazing to work with and responded so quickly. Oh and our boys LOVED the beach!

Thank you so much for your kinds words Emilie. I can't wait to have you stay again.
So glad your children enjoyed the beach. Our grandsons are hooked :)
Thank you for being such wonderful guests.
Rita and Jeff.
All the amenities for a fabulous family stay in door county. Personal touch on arrival including notes, Door County classics, and freeze pops for the kids.
Game room was great for active boys.
Hosts were exceptional with communication and understanding of inevitable hiccups when traveling with kids.
Only additional feedback is cottage is situated on road with multiple other surrounding cottages whereas photos appear it’s directly on beach.
Nevertheless still less than a 30 second walk to beach area.
Easily would/will stay here again when visiting Door County.

About the host
Hosted by Rita H
Jeff and I are true Wisconsinites and Door County is our favorite part of the state. We love the lakes, state parks, wineries, and the water. From biking, to going for a run, to heading out for a swim, we both love the outdoors. Jeff even more so then myself.
When we purchased this property, we wanted to make sure it had everything we would need as a family when we stay. Once, we saw the beautiful sandy beach and quite residential area, we jumped.
Why they chose this property
When we saw that this home was 100yds out the back door to a beautiful sandy beach with private access, we couldn't let the opportunity pass us by. Now...having stayed in this home, there is nothing more peaceful then the cool breeze which comes off of Lake Michigan at night and waking up the the amazing sunrise. Such a beautiful sight!
Each bedroom offers at least a double bed, with the master bedroom having a king size bed. We also have a sleeper sofa bed in the living room.
Plus....the super awesome game room. This game room has a ping pong table, bar (BYOB), table and chairs for games and much more.
