About this property
Authentic Waterfront Log Cottage On Sand Beach
Step out the front door onto one of Door County’s finest sand beaches! Relax on the expansive porch overlooking the water (Lake Michigan) or spread out on the handcrafted table which can seat 8 for dinner. Pioneer cottage provides the perfect setting for a deeply relaxing vacation. You stay in an authentic log-cabin but with modern conveniences like fast wifi and electric heat as well as a fireplace. You can sleep upstairs overlooking the lake, lulled to sleep by the waves. Enjoy your own private beach right in front of your cottage, or stroll along the sand beach, with the waves lapping on your toes, for a mile in either direction.
Pioneer cottage sleeps up to eight in four bedrooms: a twin and a double bedroom downstairs, and a twin and a double bedroom upstairs, 1.5 bathrooms, and a beachside screen/glass porch to enjoy the beach regardless of sun or rain.

About the host
Hosted by David Groenfeldt
I live in Santa Fe, NM where I direct a small non-profit institute promoting ethical water policies. My father and grandfather were born in Door County, and I spent nearly every summer in this and adjacent cottages have a special place in my heart for this cottage, the beach, and Lake Michigan.
Why they chose this property
My dad built this waterfront cottage in the 1930s on our family property and it was our summer place when I was growing up. We rented it out when we were not using it and many other families now regard the cottage as their family vacation spot too. My wife and I continue the practice of renting it out when we are not able to be there.
What makes this property unique
The cottage is uniquely relaxing and grounding, the perfect place to unwind and rediscover yourself. The logs are cedar from the local forest and most of the furniture is handcrafted. There is a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room, a living room with fireplace, and a large sun porch overlooking the lake. Two bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms are downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. There is also a back breezeway and a carport, also built from logs. The cottage is as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside.
