About this property

Waterfront cottage 3bdrm


This cottage is on the water, overlooking beautiful Sturgeon Bay. Perfect place for fishing, kayaking, bonfires, biking... One block from Otumba Park's tennis, basketball, volleyball courts, playground, and a public beach. gorgeous walk to downtown Sturgeon Bay. The 3 bedrooms in the cottage hold a King, Queen, and a Full bed. Additional Queen and Full sized hide-a-beds are available so we can now accommodate up to 10 guests. Full kitchen dining room for dinner parties with lots of indoor/outdoor space for family cookouts, reunions, or weddings. Musical instruments, vinyl records, movies, games, and books can entertain if the weather keeps you indoors. 2000' waterfront sundeck and 5' fire ring. 84'' dock (June 15th until Sept 15),
I have built/rebuilt it with friends over the years with what I like to call "a hodgepodge collection of my emerging (and emergency) carpentry skills". My 12 year old son and I call Door County home year round and love to travel as much as possible during our guest stays. We hope that you will enjoy the cottage as much as we do. Guests of ALL AGES are ENCOURAGED to play the instruments in the music room. We love to hear it! In fact, feel free to use anything you find in and around the cabin: from tools, appliances, utensils, to the fire pit, and outdoor grills, or even the row boat or kayaks(at your own risk (during the day (and use life vests!))). We are not your typical waterfront rental.

Very family friendly. The old games and musical instruments were a hit with my grandkids. The owner had the pullout beds made up and ready which was a plus. The only negative was 7 people in one bathroom but we were fully aware of that going in.

Charming Cottage

The cottage was charming and very clean. Yes, as I read in other reviews it may be a bit dated, but that’s part of the charm. Would definitely stay there again.
