10 year anniversary

Absolutely amazing sunsets! The cabin was very clean and well stocked for our stay. Even though it rained most of the days that we were there, we were able to play board games, enjoy a wonderful fireplace,relax and watch TV and take lots of naps! It was a wonderful anniversary trip and we would love to come back!

Weekend Getaway

Our stay at this property was wonderful. The location on the water is what drew us there along with being dog friendly. The house is well maintained and we were all very comfortable. It is a relatively short drive to lots of great places around Door County which was also very important to us. I highly recommend this property.

Beautiful Bayside Bear

Bayside Bear was a wonderful getaway in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed being on the bay and seeing the stars and even the Northern Lights! The house was very clean and well equipped. Having a dog friendly place for our family was a real bonus. We would definitely return!

Amazing location and accurate listing

This house had so many extras to make our family’s stay so much more comfortable! We have a 16 y/o, 11 y/o and a dog. We throughly enjoyed bonfires on the beach, fishing off the dock and skipping rocks in the water! I personally enjoyed the hammock in the yard-it was a perfect spot any time of day! Our youngest could dig all day long and the beach area was perfect for him, so much space to explore! Having our doggie be able to join us for our family vacation was incredible! We were looking for remote and private with things to occupy every one in our family and this listing definitely delivered! We also made it just in time to pick cherries at a local orchard(Alexander’s Cherry Orchard). The people at the orchard were so kind and the cherries were perfect! They have made for some very yummy treats so far with more to come! We took one day to make the short trip up to Sturgeon Bay only to see more sights-but we would have been just as happy hanging around the house all day as well. We needed a few more days of vacation to thoroughly enjoy this location to the fullest! We would definitely stay at the Bayside Bear in the future!

The surrounding area is wonderfully tranquil, providing a secluded getaway while still being within a short drive to local amenities. The property’s large, open spaces, both indoors and out, are perfect for hosting family gatherings or simply enjoying a relaxing escape in nature. It's a hidden gem in Door County!

What makes this property unique

The property offers a unique blend of waterfront living and peaceful seclusion. With direct access to Green Bay for water activities, panoramic views of sunrises and sunsets, and a quiet, private setting, it's ideal for those seeking tranquility.
