About this property
A Woodsy Retreat Surreounded by nature
This large spacious 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home is nestled between two beaches and surrounded by 6 acres of beautiful Door County woods in a very quiet corner of our county. Enjoy your time away from the hustle and bustle down by the fire pit, a hike through the woods or take in a nice 1/2 mile stroll down to the waters edge in either direction.
A home where memories are made.
DCTZ Permit | **3656173117**
You may see the maintenance guy (a.k.a my father-in-law/home owner) from time to time grabbing something out of the private garage or mowing the lawn if weather prohibited him from mowing between guests.
Property manager hours are between 9am and 5pm.
This place gives you the best of Door County. This quiet retreat in the woods showcases the beauty of our peninsula while being just 6 miles from the heart of Sturgeon Bay.
While exploring the 6 acres you'll be engulfed by the beauty of all the forest textures like the moss covered limestone formations to the stunning landscapes of nature itself.
If you are visiting in the spring you may just catch the amazing beauty of the forget-me-nots popping up through the mossy covered limestones along with the soothing unfurling of the giant ferns that line the forest floor. When hiking we hope you run into some wild life, as we have a giant deer population and in the most recent years a family of fox and all the furry little creatures that call the forest home.
This home is perfect for just a single family, multi-family reunion or intimate celebration with those you hold dear.
Just two miles down the road is a 9-hole par three golf course with a driving range if you’re looking to hit the links.
You'll have full access to this home except for the garage.
The house and bedrooms are all very spacious and it will fit your group of 8-10 very comfortably.
Please note that cell service could be very limited depending on your service provider.
We are located 6 miles from the heart of Sturgeon Bay, if you are wanting a night on the town I would suggest putting the one cab company contact info in your phone!
