Erin and Kevin Bosman were both born and raised in Door County and are proud to call it there home. They live in Sturgeon Bay in a old farm house that Kevin is restoring. Kevin works in one of the barns at home as a yacht painter. They share the old farmstead with their 2 cats and 2 Bernese Mountain dogs, Gerta and Kuno. Erin owns the store, Patricia Shoppe, that is next door to the cottage and was voted one of Door County's top boutiques.

Erin Bosman purchased this cottage in 2010

In the winter of 08 our neighbors stopped by the shop and asked if we would be interested in buying their cottage- we did not hesitate, of course we did! We knew it had been taken very good care of and had always admired its charm. We knew it would make a perfect vacation rental, as it has great location and is the perfect size. Being right next door at the shop everyday I can take good care of our guests, offering them help with their vacation needs. Then in the summer of 2010 the owners of the next cottage over asked us the same. They knew we had done a good job of renting our first cottage and had kept its charm, again we did not hesitate. These little places are hard to come by in Door County because unfortunately they often get torn down and replaced with condos. We are so lucky to have a group of historic buildings to share with visitors offering them a simple vacation like many have enjoyed for generations. These little places of ours do not bring us fortune, but helps pay the mortgage and we love that people want to come and enjoy this peninsula we call home.

Campfires under the stars, bike rides to the beach, a morning walk with the dog to the coffee shop, an evening sunset concert, reading a book on the sunporch- these are all the things our guests write about in our guest book. Our cottage is your home away from home, bring the pets and the kids, or not, and enjoy all that Door County offers right out your front door.
