About this property

Waterfront vacation home on Garrett Bay with private dock (summer season)

Enjoy one of the most beautiful views in all of Door County from The Chalet, a 3 bedroom, 2 bath pet friendly vacation home on Garrett Bay. The home has a large waterfront deck, private dock during the summer season, and a beach fire pit. There is a 10 person hot tub for warming up after your swim. Inside enjoy a large stone fire place, well-equipped kitchen with water views and three comfortable bedrooms. The Chalet is a perfect retreat with privacy. If you like to swim, kayak (two kayaks available), fish, boat, or just sit and enjoy nature this is the house for you. It is convenient to Ellison Bay and Gills Rock for restaurants, coffee, drinks, groceries, boat docks and much more. There is lots of green space between your home and the other home on the property (the fleetwing). There is one shared deck between both houses but each house has its own outdoor waterfront area and dock. It is Kid friendly, pet friendly, outdoor enthusiast friendly and the perfect quiet escape. It also offers superfast internet if you need to work during your stay.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Host profile image
My family and I grew up spending summers in the Chalet. It is a second home to us. We love sharing the beautiful waterfront, amazing views, clear (cold) lake, the comfortable home and so much more with those new to Door County or those that have been coming for years...this is about as good as it gets!

Why they chose this property

The Chalet is perfectly located on a residential bay but close enough to the best that Door County has to offer. It offers the perfect mix of quiet nature, beautiful views with activities within very short dirves. Sister Bay, Ellison Bay and Gills rock (with ferries to Washington island) are the closest towns with so much to offer.

What makes this property unique

The shoreline and views, the nature and biking/hiking/kayaking/fishing/boating swimming opportunies right out your front door are unbeatable but for the neighboring home (The Fleetwing) the Garret Bay Rest or the 1230 on Garrett Bay (both a short walk down the bay. All of these homes are part of our family, come with great waterfront and private piers and we love to share with others. Garrett Bay and its views is the best of Northern Door
