About this property
Waterfront 1 bedroom and loft cottage with small private pier on Garrett Bay
Walk out your front door (or sit inside) and enjoy views of Garrett Bay. Death's Door Bluff is to your left and Washington Island to your right. Your own small pier is directly in front of your own private retreat. First floor one bedroom/one bathroom with steps to a loft that has another sleeping area. There is outdoor sitting and viewing space both by the house and down on the pier. Boat tie ups on the pier for docking your day fishing/recreational boat (no overnight docking available). The cottage has a well equipped kitchen (refridgerator, range, toaster oven, coffee maker, electric skillet and gas grilll) and all the amenities for a quick vacation away from life (towels, beach towels, beach chairs, linens, paper products and soaps/shampoo). Pelicans fly in over the bay, fishing off the dock is best on the bay for bass, views cannot be beat. Gills Rock and ferries to Washington Island and the Shoreline restaurant are a mile around the bluff. Ellison Bay with restaurants, coffee shops and a well-stocked "Pioneer Store" is a short two miles away. Come enjoy one of the most beautiful bays in Door County!

This place is great. Quiet and secluded with beautiful views and sunsets. Easy communication with the owner and no suprises. We had a great time and enjoyed fires by the lake and waking up to the sunrise over the lake.
Charming, private and quaint property nestled in the quiet Garrett Bay area. It felt like home the moment we walked in and booked two additional dates.
We absolutely loved our stay. Property was nicely maintained, the area was extremely dog friendly and it was so relaxing. Being right on the
Lake was perfection!
A totally charming cabin with a rare beach access with its own dock! It is a magical location, and the furnishings were eclectic and comfortable. The host lives nearby and was very friendly and responsive to any questions or concerns. It is the perfect combination of peaceful, out-of-the-way seclusion yet just minutes away from Sister Bay, the County's most cosmopolitan village.
We enjoyed our stay! Great location and very pleasant renters. Close to plenty of activities and restaurants but away enough to enjoy the peace and quiet.
My family of 3 (and our pup) had a wonderful time at this cottage. The access to the water and its location were awesome. Upon entering the cottage, the clean smell of bleach and disinfectant made me feel that great care was taken to make sure it was ready for us. Jen was a great host! I'd love to rent from her again in the future!
Enjoyed the view, fishing, and the location.
Recommend upgrading furniture and decor as it is dated and/worn.
Pls identify or mark kayaks that are noted in the description so they can be used without disturbing others.
Lovely location and host. Beautiful views. Opportunity to use their kayaks on Lake Michigan but check to make sure equipment has plugs so you don't take on water.
Cute little place with a great view, within a short drive of some awesome hiking trails. A fun experience for us and the pup. Would definitely recommend!
We enjoyed the waterfront and peaceful location. The host was helpful, accommodating and very available. We had dogs with us and they were quite comfortable, too! We had a nice time!
