About this property

We offer "country-quiet" a short walk from the village center and town dock.

We're installing US Cellular 5G Wi Fi starting in May 2021. Our rates are designed for 2 with option to invite friends to stay overnight for an additional charge. You pay an adjusted bill when you check out. Before booking if you have questions.

We offer a clean (no pets, no smoking), fully equipped kitchen, AC, two satellite TVs, bath and 1/2 country cottage, that comfortably sleeps six. There is one queen bed upstairs, two double beds down, plus a sleeper sofa for an unexpected guest.

A cell phone will be available if you're one of the few who won't have your own. Wi Fi is available just down the street at our new $6 million village library. Walk 1/3 mile north and you'll be at the main hub for Door County Trolley. Take their wine tours and they'll drop you off in our yard. You'll be less than two miles from four gulf courses, 1/3 mile from the village center and town dock, and just short of a mile to the Egg Harbor beach. We have a portable gas and a stationary char-coal grill on site and when completed we'll be offering a "Veteran Memorial" fire pit for an additional $25 a night charge (two bundles of wood included).

Our cottage is ideal for two couples, comfortable for six, and acceptable for no more than eight. A number of local motels are within a short walk, if an unexpected in-law shows up for more than a night.

We encourage you to visit our website ( There you'll learn not only how unique and inviting our property can be, but how we might help you get the biggest bang possible out of your vacation in Door County.

You can also learn more about our property through our Door County Visitor's Bureau and our Egg Harbor Business Association. Our family has been in the business of sharing our corner of God's Country dating back to 1953.

****Note: Our Vacation Rental by Owner (VRBO) nightly rates are designed so you can rent for two and bring up to four other friends and family paying $35 for each additional person, per night plus 11% taxes (5.5% County, 5.5% State).

Our any night maximum occupancy is Eight (8). There will be an automatic $200 charge for any unregistered guests or pets on premise.

Please go to our website at: for creative rates designed specifically to attract couples, golfers, shoppers, and grandparents looking to rotate grandchildren in and out of the lower level.

Because we are only one cottage that needs to book confirmed reservation well in advance, we need to charge a 50% cancellation fee for any reservation cancelled within the 14 days prior to your arrival. Rest assured we'll work with you should a special circumstance arise requiring you to cancel. We appreciate your business and will do what we can to deserve your trust and friendship.

We look forward to meeting you.

Very nice property in an excellent location. Have been coming here for a couple years on fishing trips. Plenty of room for boat parking. No matter where you’re trying to go in Door County you’re never more than 30 minutes from any boat ramp. Thank you Rich and Emily for being excellent hosts! Will be planning many more trips in the future!

Great Location and Property

We were in Egg Harbor for an extended weekend and this rental was perfect for us. It was very clean, the house exactly what we expected based on the posting and we loved that we had the option to walk into the village if we didn’t want to drive. It was quiet but still close to everything which is exactly what we were looking for. We’d definitely consider renting again.

A VERY PLEASANT AND RELAXING STAY

While the property is not modern, such as we prefer, it satisfied all of our needs extremely well. Everything from cleanliness, to check-in and check-out, and that in between, was all we could have asked from the experience. The owner met us at check-in and check-out. Both he and his wife couldn't have been more accommodating. We will return to this property in the future.

Peaceful place, close to everything

Even though the house sleeps 6, it was perfect for 2 of us. 2 comfortable living spaces up and downstairs. Ample counter space in both bathrooms and kitchen. Well-equipped kitchen with everything we needed to make breakfast and other meals. 2 large porches for watching the sunset and the stars. Great internet connection. Large yard with fire pit, grill, seating. Would be happy to come again!

Remote lodging in Door County

We like this property because, your actual only minutes away from the downtown, you feel like you’re in country settings. If your looking for all the amenities, this may not be for you. If you want to retreat after a busy day and watch deer and birds this is the place. We loved the fire pit.

Memorial Day weekend

Emily and Richard were extremely helpful with the last minute booking for a Holiday weekend. We found the house to be no frills but perfect for what we needed. Nice drive way for our boat and an outdoor plug to charge our batteries. The house was extremely clean and we will definitely stay again in the spring or fall. The upstairs gets extremely hot we used the fan and opened the windows which let in a nice breeze. The area is safe and we walked to shops and restaurants several times during our stay. Thank you Emily and Richard for everything. I’m sure we’ll be back!

House is very old and “quaint” but awesome location!

This is a no frills rental. The refrigerator and range were older than me (over 55…..). Hence no photos of the kitchen I guess…..the spiral staircase was scary and wobbly. Thankfully there was only 2 of us so we didn’t need to use. Downstairs is its own suite. Having to take your own towels (bath and hand towels….) with was annoying. Means more laundry to do when you get home! There is no washer/dryer or dishwasher at the house. However, on the plus side, the yard was perfect for groups or families. Safe, huge, fire pit etc. and the house location was perfect for exploring Door County. Egg Harbor IS easily walkable, but don’t recommend walking back to the house in the dark.

Not a great experience

I have been using VRBO for >15 years and have never had a bad experience. Things started off odd with a call from the host informing me he made ice and asking if I could call upon arrival. Upon arriving I did give the host a call to let them know we got in ok. I then received a call back from the host, who did not listen to my message, and also informed me that his wife "might be stopping by". Sure enough a few hours later his wife stopped by with new pillow cases for one of the beds. At this point pointed out that we had "too many guests". (We are family of 5)Unfortunately I had not realized that I had not put in the correct number of children in my search, and even though this listing sleeps 8 you had to pay for "extra guests". Later on that evening just after we had finished dinner, the host stopped by yet again - unannounced - proceeded to walk right in the door and sit down at the dinner table where my husband was still eating dinner. He then told us we owed $444 more dollars for the 2 extra children we had. I was so shocked, and felt very violated by the uninvited entry into the home we were staying. My husband and I decided to send 2 of our children to stay in a cabin with my mother for the trip after that. I am disappointed to have to write this review because the location was perfect and the house had it's charms. Although we did have to air the house out upon arrival, as it had strange smell, and there is only 1 AC unit for the entire house - everything else was ok.

Charming Property and Central Location

The little home is in a very convenient location in Egg Harbor. A minute or so drive in any direction will lead to shops, restaurants, golf courses, wineries and almost anything else you could ask for when visiting the area. The home was very clean and provided everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. What's more, the host, Rich and his wife, were very communicative and welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed and were able to provide so much information on popular activities and sights to see in the area. I will definitely be checking back to book this property when we stay in the area again.

Door County Getaway

We had a great time for our little getaway. This location is nice and I loved the more rural, quiet setting. The hosts were super attentive to ensure we had everything we needed. The house was well stocked - to even include a first aid kit that came in handy for a wasp sting I got on one of our hikes. We did lots of hiking, biking, and a wonderful surprise - can't wait to see this again - Ridges Sanctuary visit in Bailey's Harbor. We are already planning our return visit!

Convenient location

It's an odd little place. The downstairs is a bedroom/sitting room with two double beds and a half bath. The upstairs is like a 1-bedroom apartment. The circular stairs are wobbly and steep, so use caution. The location is great as it is not right on 42. Egg Harbor is easily walkable. The hosts are communicators although it would have been nice to know BEFORE we got there that the cottage was central to staging the 4th of July parade. It's not your typical VRBO.

About the host

Hosted by Richard "Rich" Woldt

Host profile image
Born and raised in Door County, Woldt's In-town Farmette is a replica of our farm just south of Fish Creek. Our family built the first motel in Egg Harbor back in 1953. I started building our farmette when our farm sold in 1968. We're related to just about everyone north of the Sturgeon Bay bridge.

Why they chose this property

We are State licensed, which means we are inspected annually by the health department. That's one reason why we don't allow dogs. Our family has been in the hotel/ restaurant business in Egg Harbor since 1868 and we run our cottage rental as a "turn-key" cottage, meaning if you need something, you'll either find it in the cottage, or we'll come running. In that we offer a fully equipped “small” country cottage ideal for up to six, we attempt to structure our rates to attract grandparents wanting to rotate their favorite grandchildren in and out of the lower level, or four golfers renting the cottage for the week and inviting their husbands up for a sleep-over prior to picking up the tab for the weekend. We're building a veteran's memorial fire pit north of the cottage for an added $25/night. Free for my fellow veterans. Visit our website at for details or call me (Rich Woldt) at 608-712-7880.

What makes this property unique

You can leave your car at the cottage and walk to restaurants, bars, the beach, the open-air music pavilion, Main Street Market, our new library, one of four golf courses. We'll even offer you one of our hand-pull golf carts. The headquarters for Door County Trolley is less than 1/3 mile up the road.
