About this property

Prime Location & Highly Rated Dog Friendly Cottage with 'Perks'

Popular and well appointed, 2 bedroom 2 full bath cottage, with open floor plan. As you enter the door, to your right is the dining area, with table and chairs. To your left is the galley kitchen with breakfast bar and stools. Kitchen includes range/oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, dishwasher, regular & per cup coffee brewer as well as dishes, pots & pans, glassware etc. Cook a little, cook a lot , whatever the mood. Off the kitchen is a full bath with tub.
The living room is straight ahead. Windows line the entire wall along the dining area and living room affording you a view of the wooded area outside the cottage. There is a queen size sofa sleeper, comfy chairs, cable TV, DVD player, child safe fireplace, WiFi, and Bluetooth speaker.
The two private bedrooms are accessed to your left (off the kitchen.) The master bedroom hosts a queen size bed, closet and en suite bathroom including shower. The second bedroom has 2 twin beds and closet holding stackable washer/dryer.
Outside patio features Adirondack chairs for six, charcoal grill, and urban fire pit. Dedicated parking is right out front.
The cottage stays very comfortable due to thermostat controlled central air conditioning and heat as well as electric fireplace.
Located on Main Street in front of cottage (very short walk.) is the very popular Blue Horse Beach Café. All guests of The Java Hut enjoy discounts at the café including breakfast, lunch, teas, and smoothies, as well as a full coffee/espresso bar.
A great feature of this cottage is its ideal location. Even though The Java Hut is downtown it is still in a quiet area so you get the convenience of shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation but you still have a good measure of privacy as well.
Added bonus- your kids and pets will love it here!
Walk to numerous restaurants in town as well as groceries via Fish Creek Market just a half block away.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

My husband and I, along with our Cockapoo, enjoyed our stay at the Java Hut. It was clean, cozy, and convenient to restaurants, shops and parks in Fish Creek. Our host, Carina, responded immediately to any question we had. It’s pet-friendly and a great place for a Door County getaway.

Great location near shopping and restaurants. Blue Horse Cafe is within steps for gourmet coffee and delicious bakery items (and more) for a quick breakfast before embarking on sightseeing plans for the day. Repeat guests. Would like to return again next year. Wonderful host.

About the host

Hosted by Carina Helm

Host profile image
Having met and resided in Door County since early 2001, my husband Michael and I were thrilled to acquire the property at 4113 Main Street in Fish Creek ostensibly to move Blue Horse Beach Cafe (with business partner Eric) into the Main house, but also to move our family upstairs from the cafe and offer The cottage, now known as The Java Hut, behind the Main house as a vacation rental.

Why they chose this property

Both Michael & I vacationed in Door County every summer as children. We both spent summers working in DC during college. Before meeting each other, we had both gone the entrepreneurial route; Michael buying into Dano's Pizza in 1999 and Husby's in 2000, and me opening Blue Horse Cafe in 2001-the year we met. We knew Door County was our home. So in 2012 when it was time to buy a permanent location for the Cafe, we found a property that could accommodate the Cafe, our family, and traveling families in the cottage...perfect.

What makes this property unique

Unique to The Java Hut cottage is its ideal location with proximity to downtown and the beach while being on a quiet low traffic street. Its a good sized comfortable layout with modern updates and most everything a person needs to enjoy their stay without having to bring so much with them. We allow dogs!
Also, guests enjoy discounts at Blue Horse Beach Cafe, a very popular and well established coffee and brunch cafe next door.
