About this property

Amazing Sunsets • 280 Ft. Shore • 2.5 Acres • Great Cottage!

This well built ranch home sits on 2.5 beautiful wooded, private acres. The interior of the home is primarily beautifully crafted wood. There are two bedrooms and also 2 Great Rooms! Two, 25x25 ft. rooms with cathedral ceilings and lots of open space. In one of the great rooms there is a door for privacy and a pull out queen sleeper sofa. In the main great room there is a twin size day bed under a window. 2019 new bathroom! This home sits with the most beautiful views of Green Bay waters. Directly facing west, the most amazing sunsets are right out your door, and can be viewed from the master bedroom, dining room, and 2 great rooms.
Every year we like to surprise our return guests with something new. Most recently, removed carpet to expose gorgeous maple floors, washer and dryer, new decks, new furnishings, new roof, new bathroom and much more!
There is a large window porch that has an eating table and a large sofa. There is a roomy open air deck that faces the water attached to the home. There is another large deck halfway down to the water, great for outdoor eating. Then there is a 3rd deck down by the water, perfect for watching the amazing sunsets.
This home sits on a rolling hill filled with grass that walks you down to the 280 ft. of private waterfront. This beach consists of small and a lot of large rock. We are experiencing record high water, so our water frontage is getting hit pretty hard. We always ask that everyone use great care when getting in the water. Water shoes recommended. There is also a nice drop off approx. 50ft out, great for fishing, diving or snorkeling.
You will see fishing boats at a distance as this is a popular area for salmon...you can see them, but they would have trouble seeing you. This home is in a private setting with lots of mature trees.

Funk Cottage
We enjoyed our stay, despite very hard twin beds and uncomfortable seating. We had to bring our own sheets and towels. There were lots of signs with dos and don’ts around the house. We did our best to comply.

Backyard is amazing
The backyard on the water makes the trip, gorgeous! We had a great time! House is super cute rustic cabin vibes:) Some days it gets a tad hot without air but by the time you go to bed it’s good.

Wonderful honeymoon spot!
This was a beautiful place on Washington Island. With lakeside views, a firepit, comfortable furniture, supplied kitchen, etc, it was the perfect place for my husband and I to spend our honeymoon. The property manager made the experience so easy with little to no stress. Definitely will be returning!

About the host

Hosted by Amy Jorgenson

Host profile image
I am a real estate Broker on Washington Island. I work with people on renting and also purchasing homes on the Island. I am from Elmhurst, Illinois and have now lived on the Island full time for 26 years! I have always said, I know I am the luckiest person in the world to be able to live and raise a family on this beautiful Island!
This home was built in 1951 by my grandfather, and has been in my family ever since.

Why they chose this property

My grandpa built this home and at the time he could have chose any place on the Island as there was lots of open space. He liked the high property (to avoid any chance of flooding) yet easy water access. Deep water frontage so he could launch his boat. Convenient location, 10 minutes to town, less than 5 minutes to the Ferry. Peaceful neighborhood with beautiful mature trees. Of course the number one reason, the amazing sunsets year round!

What makes this property unique

Privacy, able to swim with no one else around. Dinner outside, sitting on the deck watching the sunset. Great for family reunions as there is so much 'living' space. Never feel crowded.
