About Cindy Livingston or Emily Pitchford
I was born and raised in Egg Harbor, Door County, Wisconsin. I attended grade school in Egg Harbor and Gibraltar H.S. in Fish Creek, and I am a UW - Madison graduate. Our family business is Alpine Resort and Golf Course in Egg Harbor. I have two sons and live in Sturgeon Bay. We have a golden retriever puppy that is very active and playful and he loves to swim.
Cindy Livingston or Emily Pitchford purchased this Cottage in 1962
Why Cindy Livingston or Emily Pitchford chose Egg Harbor
The Blue Jay house has been in our family from the beginning. It's close to Alpine Resort and Golf and close to all the great things Egg Harbor (and Door County) has to offer. It's only available for vacations in the spring, summer and fall. My family is very protective of this house and keep it very clean and well maintained.
What makes this Cottage unique
This house is the perfect little vacation cottage. It's located in an area of private summer homes with lots of trees and within walking distance to shops, restaurants and bars, the Egg Harbor Marina, galleries, free summer concerts and groceries in Egg Harbor. It's 1/2 mile to Alpine and Egg Harbor beaches. Located on Whitecliff Road, there's plenty of opportunity for walks with public access to the water every few hundred feet.

I chose this cottage because it was close to Egg Harbor and to friends staying nearby. The location was perfect and Emily and the staff were responsive and friendly. However, the carpet in the living room has stains and the oven wasn’t clean. Both need a deep cleaning. The stove looked to be an older one than pictured.
