About this property
Beautiful Waterfront Retreat on Sturgeon Bay, Private Dock.
We have been serving tourists for 20 years! We welcome you to enjoy our Chalet style cottage that sleeps 6, in 3 seperate bedrooms. In some cases we are able to accommodate more people or adjust to single sleeping needs, if you ask for details. We have a special discount available for " Monthly Booking". Enjoy the comfort of our Queen-sized beds with luxury bedding in each of our 3 bedrooms.
Our Cozy Cottage on the West Side Shore of Sturgeon Bay, is located midway between the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal to Lake Michigan and the picturesque Bay View Bridge spanning the Inner Bay Waters of Sturgeon Bay. You will love the 114' long private dock to tie up your boat securely or just sit on the wooden bench at the end of our L shaped pier to watch the ducks swim by, the Eagles fly over head or drop a fish line in to catch your dinner.
We have a natural Door County Stone, custom built, wood burning Fireplace in our Living room, to warm up on chilly evenings and create a perfect romantic atmosphere in Fall, Winter and Spring. Summer time campfires at the waters edge can't be beat for fun and romance!
Our Leather furniture envites you to relax while you enjoy a good book, use the High Speed Wireless WiFi for connection to the world wide web in comfort or watch Samsung TV Plus over 1000 channels. Use Netflix for movies and series entertainment on our 64" TV in the main living space.
We furnish a Smart Television in each bedroom with Samsung TV programming for access to News, Sports and a Variety of entertainment that allows freedom in viewing what you want, when you want.
Stroll along the quiet wooded surroundings or bike the near by trails to adventure and explore. You will be only minutes away from Downtown Dining and Entertainment when you stay at our Cottage.
Shopping is convenient and plentiful. Galleries, Golf Courses, Vineyards and Beaches are nearby, in all directions from our central location. The Restaurants, YMCA, Museums, Public Parks and Historic Landmarks are very easy to access from our Quiet Wooded Location, yet still having all the conveniences of the city.
We have Central Air Conditioning as well as year around forced air heating.
There are many Festivals throughout the seasons or simply enjoy private time, anytime!
Stay with us in toasty warm "Winter" lodging too. Relax stretched out on our leather sofas by the natural stone fireplace, romantically blazing soft golden flames flickering for hours!
SPRING, SUMMER, Fall or Winter are all Great Choices for Vacation Fun! You can look forward to winter touring, cross country skiing, ice-fishing and snowmobiling, that begins just outside the door of our cottage.
The Ahnapee Trail crosses Tacoma Beach Road for your immediate connection to many miles of hiking, biking, cross country skiing and snowmobiling. We pride ourselves on providing service, cleanliness and amenities you will discover to be a value that surpasses our competition.
We pay particular attention to Covid 19 protection during our cleaning process. Your health is important to us!
We have a patio with table and chairs outside by the gas grill and we furnish the gas. We have Adirondack Chairs by our waterside, outdoor fire pit. Firewood is abundant upon your request (advance notice appreciated) for a reasonable charge. Indoor fireplace wood for Winter usage is seasoned hardwood (different from outdoor firewood) and is also ready for delivery as you need it. We ask that you order in advance.
We have a full bathroom with a bathtub and shower combination, downstairs next to the master bedroom, on the main level. Two bedrooms are on the second floor, with a second, half bathroom, for guest convenience.
Our Chess Board is always ready and so are the wide variety of books, for individual selection, that appeal to all ages.
We have new, state of the art appliances, including convection oven, microwave, coffee pot, toaster, blender, rice cooker and steam pressure cooker too. Our refrigerator has an in freezer automatic ice maker. Our cozy blankets and all 600+. thread count linens are provided as well as our 100% cotton towels. For your personal private laundry needs we have a large capacity washer/drier on site, on the main floor. We supply laundry soap and fabric softener sheets, just like home.
We have daily and monthly rates available and some off season rate reduction for longer stays.
A $25 extra guest fee, per guest, per stay, over our base booking rate for one couple. This fee is applied to offset the added costs of utilities, water usage, extra linens and garbage to help reduce the need for higher maid fees. Time consuming steps to insure your protection have cause us to add staff and supplies to meet that need.
Ask for details about special holiday packages. We will make every effort to be family friendly. Please feel free to ask for more information if you have any questions about our property.
Advance notice of boat information and dock availability is important. Usage of our dock is at your own risk and is your responsibility. Some Dock Fees may apply for special needs.
We look forward to serving you and hope to help you have your best vacation ever! Our goal is to have you choose to visit Door County, many times, for many years to come.
