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!
