About this property
Panorama Waterfront Guest House North of Sturgeon Bay on the shore of Green Bay
WATERFRONT!! On Green Bay, 8 miles NORTH of Sturgeon Bay. 25 feet from water's edge, with a view of the bay from every room. Spacious deck overlooking the water. Breathtaking sunsets.
Update for the 2023 Season: fully renovated bathroom!
The Panorama is a private ranch home on its own 100 feet of shore frontage. All rooms overlook the water. Incredible SUNSETS and panoramic views. Nautical cottage decor. All on one floor. 2 bedrooms. Relax on the large, fully furnished deck overlooking Green Bay. Enjoy the view of the expansive shoreline and look across the water to see the state of Michigan. Sunsets from the deck are among the most spectacular in Door County. Inside, enjoy the many comforts of this waterfront home. The house is equipped with everything you need. It has central heat and central air conditioning. The Master bedroom has a queen bed, and the second bedroom has 2 twin beds. All beds are high quality mattresses & box springs. There is a flat screen TV, and you can bring your laptop for FREE WiFi. It's the perfect spot -- peaceful and secluded, yet only a short drive to stores and the many activities Door County has to offer.
The Panorama has a typical Bayside flat stone beach, very accessible and suitable for swimming, stone skipping, or casting a line in the water. Water shoes are recommended for swimming. At night, roast marshmallows beside the fire ring on the beach, and look up at every star in the sky.
The Bay Shore Bluffland Preserve is just across the road...a public hiking trail maintained by the Land Trust which goes up the picturesque bluff. It is a perfect place to observe the special beauty of the area. Come, take a hike. The Panorama is one and a half miles from Quarry Park boat launch.
Convenience:
The Panorama is a short drive to extensive shopping, quaint villages, restaurants, church, sand beach, state and county parks, boat rentals, golf, tennis, live theatre, movies, musical performances, festivals.
Photographers Paradise:
One of the best vantage points for viewing sunsets in Door County is from the Panorama deck. Quiet, rural surroundings await you. Bring your camera and binoculars.
Two Bedrooms:
Master bedroom has a QUEEN BED, second bedroom has 2 TWINS. All beds have top quality mattresses and box springs. Living room sofa has a queen-sized hide-a-bed.
Bathroom:
Newly renovated in 2023.
All tile with a shower-tub combination. Shower has safety bar.
Kitchen:
Complete with updated range, refrigerator with ice maker, double-drain sink, microwave, eating area overlooking the water. Cookware, dishes, glasses, utensils, small appliances: coffeemaker, toaster, electric hand mixer, blender...everything needed for meal preparation.
Living Room:
Large (12X20) overlooking the water with a commanding view. It has 2 sliding glass doors opening onto a wide well-furnished wrap-around deck overlooking the water. The picture window in the living room also provides a fantastic shoreline view. Living room has a sofa, two comfortable stuffed chairs, desk, bookshelf with fiction, non-fiction, and Door County history. There's also satellite TV and DVD player. Lots of DVDs to choose from.
Overall:
The Panorama is nicely decorated, super clean, has a view of the water from every room. It is ranch style...everything all on one floor. Bedrooms, living room, hallway are carpeted. There are plenty of pillows, blankets, sheets and towels. Beds are made before you arrive.
Outside:
The private park-like setting features a picnic table, Weber charcoal grill and Weber Gas grill bonfire circle on the beach.
The Panorama is an accommodation registered with the State of Wisconsin and has been in business for over 50 years. It is a SMOKE FREE ENVIRONMENT.
Sorry, NO PETS.

About the host
Hosted by Bill Koenen
We bought our Door County property many years ago. The view and perfect approach to the water sold us on the location. We've been residing at our house and renting the adjacent guest house ever since, enjoying every minute.
Why they chose this property
The location is ideal--on the Bay shore just 1 1/2 miles north of Little Harbor exactly halfway between Sturgeon Bay and Egg Harbor on County trunk B...also called Bay Shore Drive. Entertainment and Shopping is 3 to 8 miles away in any direction.
What makes this property unique
The Panorama guest house deck is everyone's favorite spot. The comfortable deck furniture is a great place to observe the shoreline's beautiful scenery and sunsets. The deck is built overlooking the water, so a person can have a sweeping view up and down the Bay. Look across the water to both Michigan and Wisconsin shores. The guest house is always comfortable...air conditioned for summer's hot days, centrally heated for Spring and Fall. Current novels, Andy Rash's children's books and Door County history books are on the bookshelf. Maps,tourist literature, DVD's and CD's are in the living room.
