About this property

Cozy cottage tucked in the woods. 5 minutes from Cave Point and Whitefish Dunes.

Cute & cozy bungalow tucked in the woods on a quiet road just outside Jacksonport, Wisconsin, lies this cozy cottage. With only a quick 5-minute drive to a sandy public beach on Lake Michigan, you don’t have to go far to explore the beauty of the great lakes. We greatly encourage you to explore the backroads on two bikes we’ve provided and immerse yourself in Wisconsin. This homey bungalow is great for a family or a couples getaway!

The Space-
Our cottage is a mix of modern and vintage. Just recently renovated and updated, we keep this home cozy and comfortable without losing a cabin-esque charm everyone loves.
Have your morning cup of coffee on our amazing front porch while enjoying the sound of waves crashing against the bluff in the distance. Take a walk into our beautifully landscaped backyard with paths leading to a firepit fit for roasting marshmallows. Grill out on the back deck, all while taking in the scenery. Don’t forget to glance up at the night skies; we promise they are show-stoppers. A perk of being on the quiet side of Door County.

This relaxed cottage allows you to escape the busy towns' hustle and bustle while remaining close to some of the best parks and beaches. Some of our local favorites within a 3-mile radius include Cave Point and Whitefish Dunes, which you can’t miss. Cave Point is one of the most beautiful parks around, and Whitefish dunes boast hundreds of feet of sandy beach and miles of trails for hiking and cross-country skiing.
With only 1 mile to Jacksonport Beach and Lakeside park, you’re right by all the necessities Jacksonport offers. Grab goodies from the local bakery, eat and drink at two great restaurants, rent kayaks or bicycles from either of the local tour companies and grab some meats for grilling from a quaint grocery store.

Sleep-
Bedroom one includes a queen bed, dresser, closet, full-length mirror, USB charging ports, and custom-designed accent wall. Located on the front side of the house, open the windows and enjoy the waves crashing as you drift off to sleep.
Bedroom two includes a queen bed. Located on the backside of the house, this room has a full-length mirror, plenty of storage, and tons of peace and quiet.

What an absolutely beautiful place to stay. I had taken my girlfriend up to DC to get engaged at Cave Point (she said yes), and this location was prime, only 8 minutes away!The house is fully stocked with bag chairs, marshmallow sticks, pots/pans, utensils, etc. The fire pit with string lights in the back was an amazing touch, and made for beautiful nights by the fire. The location is a bit further away from your typical DC spots, but this makes for absolutely silent nights with no noise and complete solidarity. The only one thing to note is the septic holding tank, which you may have to be a bit more conservative with water use. Our party was 3 guests, and it was never an issue, just something to note for others staying here. All around I'd highly recommend this property, and will definitely consider staying again next time around, thank you Steve & Jess!!

We loved staying in this house as a family of 5 with three kids 8 and under. We brought our own twin blow up mattress and put all three kids in one room. We wished the curtains were blackout, but it worked out alright for three nights. The living area was very spacious for the kids to run around in. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils for us to make multiple meals at the house. We loved being so close to whitefish dunes/cave point for hikes and beach access. A few games are provided, we played Skip-Bo a lot! Firewood is provided for the fire pit, but it may not be dry enough. The quiet road would be great for bikes if we’d brought them. Keep in mind the dryer takes a couple hours to complete, especially since they recommend a full laundry load to reserve water usage. But this house was the perfect home base for our family vacation. Recommend!

Thanks so much for the review. So happy you enjoy your stay. We actually have built a new firewood cover since you stayed so that is now fixed. Yes, we do like guests to have a full load of laundry so save on water since we are on a septic holding tank. Thank you so much for staying with us. We hope you come again.

Good Folk House was an absolutely wonderful stay. It was very comfortable and lacked for nothing. My sister and I stayed here for just over a week. It is nestled in the woods and made for a quiet and peaceful retreat. Our hosts responded to any questions in good time.

Hey guys! We are Jess & Steve. We love to travel around the world but we like to think of Door County, Jacksonport in particular, as our home away from home. We started coming up here over 20 years ago with our amazing group of friends. Spending time every summer and every New Years here. Door County is awesome no matter what time of year you visit. Our two girls have grown up coming here and love it just as much as we do. We have made a lifetime of memories here and can't wait to share our love of this place with you.
