4th of July! Festivals! Secluded true waterfront! Sleeps 12, dogs, great rates
Nestled between the woods and the water, Cherry Lodge is truly secluded and private. True waterfront with hundreds of feet of private wash stone beach, this craftsman era home is surrounded by thick forests on 3 sides of the home, and of course beautiful Green Bay is just steps across your lawn. There are no other cottages in sight (or sound) Sleeps up to 12 in 6 bedrooms and is up to two doggos friendly. We have 4th of July, fall weekend, festival and mid-week availability .
Cherry Lodge sleeps up to 12, but our rates make it an affordable choice for smaller groups or couples. Wouldn't you rather have your own private firepit at the edge of your own private beach with lapping water to watch the sunset and the migrating geese and other wildlife than a communal firepit at a condo? or have neighbors gawking at you?
At Cherry Lodge you will wake up to the sound of lapping waves, birds singing and leaves rustling and then enjoying your first cup of coffee on your waterfront 3 season porch or patio! After a day of festival going, hiking, wine tastings or shopping fire up the grill on your patio for dinner, and then relax around your private waterside firepit (we provide all the firewood you want)
This large cottage has been in the same family since it was built over a century ago and has been thoughtfully renovated and updated to retain its charm and history. Great for a family or group getaway, A private fishing pier is a beautiful 3 minute walk down a wooded path, as is a private tennis/pickleball court. Waterfront fire pit (with firewood provided) is perfect for toasting marshmallows while enjoying beautiful sunsets over the bay. A wash stone beach, huge, sunny lawn, patio with grill and gorgeous sunsets give you plenty of options to relax outside. The home is down a private drive and so you WILL NOT have cars whizzing past your bedroom windows. Plenty of parking for cars and trailers available.
Beautiful, craftsman woodwork and original stone fireplace are exceptional details in this room. The large living room with statement staircase open to the 3 season porch.
With 6 bedrooms including 2 waterfront, heated and AC'd 'sleeping porch' bedrooms upstairs, 2 bathrooms, a large living room, dining room and comfortably furnished 3 season porch overlooking the bay you will have plenty of space to spread out. These are real bedrooms, with beds. No sleeper sofas, bunks, inflatables or futons here. One waterfront bedroom even has a romantic brass bed.
Fully equipped kitchen has everything you need if you choose to stay in and cook those fish you've caught or have a relaxed breakfast before heading out for the day, or settling in with a book to truly unwind while you view the wildlife. A large dining room offers plenty of room for dining.
Well mannered dog friendly (up to two of your best friends) with an additional pet fee.
Great location -We are adjacent to historic Horseshoe Bay Farm on Horseshoe Bay Drive and a minute drive, 10 minute walk to a public boat launch and park at Frank Murphy Park and 5-10 minutes from downtown Egg Harbor with restaurants, boutiques, wineries, art galleries, antiquing, stables, golf courses, farm stands, orchards, mini golf nearby.

The house was very nice, the property was outstanding. Close to amenities of town and other destinations than a short drive back to the woods and waterfront. What a wonderful place, I would recommend The Cherry Lodge to everyone wanting a great getaway!

The ten of us had a marvelous time! The property was exactly what we needed and wanted and the hosts made sure that our stay was uncomplicated and pleasant. We hope to stay there again soon!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I am thrilled you got to see one of our resident bald eagles!
I do want to apologize for the misplaced fireplace tools,I hope you didn’t want to build a fire inside. It appears a guest with toddlers moved them to the corner between the sofas to reduce toddler play and we did not catch that.
You left the cottage absolutely beautiful, our cleaner asked if anyone had been there so thank you.
Rob and I hope you will consider staying here again for your next girls getaway!
We wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!

After a few months of home school and work due to covid, we were extremely excited for a change of scenery. The cottage was perfect for our family of 5, plus a few extra family guests...and my brother's dog. We had wonderful weather, enjoyed the yard lake, firepit, and cooking meals together. We look forward to returning!

Our family of 7 plus one dog had a wonderful time at your home. The large yard and fire pit were extra's that we enjoyed each day. The house in itself meet all our expectations. I would recommend your property highly.

Linda the caretaker, her husband and the owner were so very nice and helpful with suggestions for the area. The owner sat with us for a bit and gave us a nice history of the property. We were allowed to check in early when we anrrived annd check out late since we were on a trolley tour our last morning. The house is super cozy, clean and right on the water. I fell asleep to the sound of lapping waves. 6 bedrooms and 2 full baths were perfect for a family girls getaway! The property is secluded in nature and private, yet 5 min to the town of Egg Harbor. I ran in the neighborhood in the early morning hours and only saw a few dog walkers and bicyclists. We are coming back next year!!

Thanks again and best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous new year! (And best wishes to the brides)

My husband and I and our dog had a wonderful stay at the charming Cherry Lodge! The lakefront is absolutely stunning. Watching sunsets around the fire pit and listening to the waves was a dream. Thank you for allowing us the privilege of enjoying this gem in Egg Harbor!

We are happy you enjoyed your stay in Door County at Cherry Lodge, and that the fall weather cooperated so you could experience the fabulous sunsets! I want to especially thank you for caring for and leaving Cherry as if it were your own.
Best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year, we hope you visit again!
We loved our stay at Cherry Lodge, it was just what we needed. We did a lot of hiking with our dog "Fred" and some shopping and ate too much at some good restaurants. The manager was very responsive and we adored sitting in the sun room and looking at the lake. There were some breathtaking sunsets. We did not get to use the fire pit but maybe next time. There certainly would be room to bring our kids and grandkids!

Lenore- we are so happy you enjoyed your trip ( despite a rainy week) . and do hope you return with your extended family. By next summer the little play ‘cottage’ should be ready.
Thank you for taking care of the cottage as it were your own, and leaving it in immaculate condition.
You were wonderful to work with, gracious and understanding.
Enjoy the rest of the year, stay well and safe and have a happy, healthy and prosperous year.
Best regards-
Linda, Rob and the rest of the team
Amazing vacation spot. Secluded, spacious, amazing sunsets, open yard for the children to play.
We had 12 people stay at Cherry Lodge from 65 years old down to 2 years old. Everyone had a great experience. There are actually 6 bedrooms with a lot of room both inside and out for children to explore. You have a private beach and caught small mouth bass from our shore. The sunset is absolutely amazing. Our closest neighbor was probably 300 to 400 yards away. I would highly recommend this lodge. We will be back.

Truly waterfront, you will enjoy your own private, walk right into the water wash stone beach that slopes gently into the water.
What makes this property unique
A perfect family getaway, it is private but conveniently located to get to Egg Harbor in a few minutes and Murphy County Park with a public boat launch and fishing pier is less than a mile south. There is plenty of space inside for everyone to spread out, and reliable WIFI for a workation.
