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. Sit in the adirondack chairs by the water, swing in the hammock, layout in one of the lounge chairs provided. Relax!!! This home supplies paper products, cleaning products, bags for your garbage (you are to remove the garbage from the home, directions in the home). You will need to bring linens for the beds: fitted and flat sheets along with pillow cases. You will need bath towels or any towels for outside. Kitchen and bath hand towels are provided. Pillows, comforters and blankets are provided.

Really great cottage! Cozy setting, fun vintage vibe, clean, and well-appointed. The bathroom is really nice and very clean. The queen bed is very comfortable. Great place to stargaze. We really enjoyed the beach and the quiet setting. Would definitely stay here again!
This is a super place! Easy check-in, very clean, extremely well stocked, and the location and view are incredible! Stayed a week, wished I had booked 2 or 3.

Thank you so much for the kind review. We are so glad you enjoyed your time at Funk Cottage. Sure hope you can return again.
The views were stunning, and the cottage was clean and inviting both inside and out, offering a peaceful atmosphere with plenty of space for fun. The host was attentive and considerate throughout our stay. It is a great cottage to visit on the island!
Excellent experience. In fact second year in a row staying at Funks Cottage. Location is great. Sunsets beautiful. If you understand Washington Island this house is perfect. Will be back.

We really enjoy you staying at the fun cottage. Now you get to start your own island memories.!!
Whether staying here for one day, one week or one month, this cottage in the woods has all the comforts of home and a lakefront view that will relieve the stress and comfort the soul.
This property is directly on the water and is such a peaceful and comfortable spot to stay. We enjoyed the views of the lake, lounging by the water to watch the sunset, and gathering around a fire in the firepit. The house was also a comfortable place to lounge and relax when we had a rainy day.
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!

Thank you! Hope to see you again. Congratulations!!
This is a wonderful cottage with terrific lake front access for kayaking, swimming and lounging by the waterfront. Very thoughtfully and thoroughly appointed kitchen and lovely bathroom. Owner was very responsive with communication requests.
Everything was as advertised. Quiet, private property with amazing views of Green Bay. Sunsets over the water were terrific! We enjoyed getting to know Washington Island and this was the perfect spot to unwind. Highly recommend Funk Cottage and Amy was great to work with.

About the host
Hosted by Amy Jorgenson
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.
