About this property

Beautiful Sunsets on the Bay! Waterfront, large yard, updated home.

Update for 2023: New floors were installed on the first floor. New pictures coming soon.

Relax and enjoy sunsets at this beautiful bay shore rental.

Enjoy watching the sunset from the shoreline deck, the seasonal dock, the large house deck or any of the big water-view widows. You can also paddle the beautiful coastline with the 2 kayaks we provide with this property.

Located just south of Egg Harbor and just north of Sturgeon Bay, you are in the the perfect location to enjoy all that Door County has to offer. When you're tired of water and sunsets, The Stone Duck is across the street from the Bayshore Blufflands State Natural Area where you can enjoy nature walks and see the Niagara Escarpment (rocky bluffs formed from glaciers millions of years ago). We are short drive north to Murphy Park, a water front park with a sand beach and boat launch. Enjoy easy access to Egg Harbor and Sturgeon Bay for amazing restaurants and shopping. And no need to bring groceries with you, we are located a short drive to Walmart and Target in Sturgeon Bay.

The Stone Duck has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The second floor features 2 bedrooms (one with queen bed and the second with two sets of bunk beds) and a full bath with tub. The main level has a large fully stocked kitchen including dishwasher and a dining table that seats 8. A living room with TV (with Roku stick for streaming shows and movies), sofa, love seat, comfy chair and puzzle/gaming table. One bedroom with a king bed. A full bathroom with a large standup shower. Step out the of the sliding glass door to the large deck with patio dining table and chairs, or relax on the outdoor love seat and chairs. If that's not enough, then walk down to the chairs on the water-side deck or enjoying roasting s'mores around the fire pit. Gas and charcoal grill are provided for all your BBQ needs. There is also a seasonal dock with a large area for sitting or for access to the water via the ladder (the dock is put in around June and taken out in September).

We do allow you to bring your well-behaved dog for a $25 per night fee. Please don't forget to include your dog when booking. We do ask that you leash your dog when outside.

Internet/WiFi - We have Starlink internet that provides fast, reliable internet speeds. It can on occasion get slowed down during bad storms, but this is pretty rare. We have also installed a cell phone booster that boosts the signal of cell service providers. It helps with our Verizon service, but unsure of the results on other carriers.

During peak season this property books Saturday to Saturday and has a 3-day minimum during off-peak season. The house sleeps 8 people (1 king bed, 1 queen bed, and 1 bunk room with 2 sets of bunk beds).

Cancellations - Travelers who cancel at least 60 days before check-in will get back 100% of the amount they've paid. If they cancel after that point, they will not get a refund. However; if they cancel less than 60 days, we will make every good faith effort to re-rent the House for the same period and rental amount, and if successful, the entire rental amount will be returned minus a $100 service charge.

Note - we do have a video doorbell for security purposes.

Calm and convenient

The house was the perfect place for our family of four for a long weekend getaway. So calming to listen to the waves, yet just a short drive to downtown Sturgeon Bay.

A very nice place to stay in winter

My wife and I and my wife's brother and wife spent Feb 8-15, 2025 at the Stone Duck. It sits right on Green Bay. We had beautiful sunsets 5 of the 7 nights. We were lucky and had beautiful snow which our pup had never seen, and she totally enjoyed romping in it. The drive had to be snowplowed twice, but is happened automatically without our having to do anything. The house is about 1/2 mile from one of the Door County Land Trust's many hiking trails. We went to different Trust locations every day to hike.They are very scenic and easy to moderate hiking generally 1-1/2 to 2 miles. The house is centrally located on the peninsula so it is easy to get to all parts. The house itself is nice, and Andrew, the owner of the house, is very responsive in answering our questions ahead of time. We had a great time and are already talking about returning. We had hoped to see the northern lights, but cloud cover and the atmospheric conditions just did not cooperate. There is probably a better chance to see the lights at the northern end of the island, but we knew that but really liked the description of the Stone Duck in the reviews, so we chose to stay there.. We fully enjoyed the house.

Walking into this home gave us instant peace. The house is clean, well-kept, and cozy, with everything we could possibly need for a winter vacation. Extremely comfortable and very well situated for a number of quick day trips around Door County. Huge thank you to Andrew and his family everything provided. We'll be back in the future!

Exceeded expectations

Instructions were perfect. Clean, easy to find, great house and layout. Big kitchen, like the round table for many. Back deck looking out to bay is nice, used the fire pit 2x in 3 nights. Bedrooms were spacious, beds comfortable. Bathrooms big and well constructed. Parking for several cars. The only thing I’d add….A ladder for the dock would make it much easier to get into and out of water. It was the difference between some swimming and others not. Add a garbage can to the upstairs bedrooms. Nothing bad about this place.

Great vacation home in Door County

Our family of six stayed for a week in August 2024. Clean and comfortable house with all the amenities. Relaxing place to sit and watch the waves and the sunset. Kids enjoyed fishing though they didn't catch much. We visited several state and county parks in the county and had wonderful weather for hiking.

Perfect location, immaculate and comfortable!

We have been staying in Door every summer for a week at a time but always on the “quiet” side for the last eight years. This was our first time on the bay. The sunsets could not be beat! The house had everything you could possibly need. We stayed with our three boys ages 18-6 and almost 2 y/o Bernedoodle. It was perfect, very clean and had comfy beds. We were the perfect distance from everything. Nights were quiet with clear skies to view the stars. Andrew was even there at a moment’s notice when I couldn’t locate the door code. The home is beautiful. Book it! You will not be disappointed.

Amazing house!

We loved our week at Stone Duck! The house layout was perfect for our group of parents and young adults. Huge kitchen was great for cooking and gathering. Plenty of room to both be together in the comfy living room, fire pit area for s’mores and viewing the gorgeous sunsets, relaxing on the dock, grilling on the deck - but also to spread out in the many seating areas outside. Great location close to many towns and adventures. The only very minor regret was that the listing describes the dock as having a swimming ladder, and there was not one. While the water was pretty chilly for swimming during our stay, it seems that that misleading information might be disappointing for families hoping to be at the house and easily, get in and out of the water. Thank you so much for an incredible place to stay! We definitely plan to return!!!

Outstanding Rental at Door County!!

This vacation home is one of the best we've stayed in over the years! It was beautifully decorated, very clean with a wonderful deck and back yard right on the water. The owners were very responsive and check in was a breeze. This is an excellent "home base" away from the crowds AND conveniently located to easily get around Door County. If you're planning a trip to Door County, I encourage you to rent this place - if we come back, we'd want to stay here!

Winter Getaway

The property was very nice and perfect for our two families. This was my first time to Door County. Very beautiful and serene. It definitely would have been a better trip in the summer so that we could enjoy the lake and all of the fun summer activities. We knew that going in. We hiked on the closest street. I'm sure there were hiking trails we could have driven to, but decided to stay close to the property. The neighbors were very nice and the owners were very accomodating. This was a perfect little winter getaway for us.
