This true waterfront, private, classic Door County home offers a great location for exploring all Door County has to offer. Great rates make it perfect for both large and small groups as it sleeps up to 12 in 5 bedrooms, in real beds. (no bunks, pullouts, futons or worse here) Thoughtfully restored and renovated to honor the vision of the original owner, it is unique for a historic, turn of the century cottage, it offers 3 bedrooms on the first floor, 2 with queen beds, 1 with a king bed - a boon to those who might struggle with mobility, or simply dislike stairs. The two bedrooms upstairs are adjacent to a sitting room and are great for groups with teens or kiddos who don't mind getting away from the 'grownups'. 2 Baths, one down and one upstairs, large living room with original fireplace that opens to the waterfront, 3 season comfortably furnished porch, dining room and fully equipped kitchen round out the interior. A waterfront firepit (with all the wood you want), tennis court, private, huge fishing pier and harbour and acres of woods and hundreds of feet of waterfront to explore round out the outdoor amenities.
Imagine waking up and grabbing your coffee to step outside the porch and 50 feet down to the water to watch the the ducks, geese, jumping fish and sailboats cruising in the distance. Grab your fishing pole and head to the private pier and harbor to test your skill. Or step across the driveway to play a few sets of tennis or pickleball on the private tennis court.
After a day exploring the property or Door County and grilling your dinner on the propane grill on the patio, sit around the waterside firepit (firewood provided) to enjoy a fabulous sunset and trade stories while making and eating smores.
The lawn slopes gently to the waterline where you can step right into the bay to swim, fish, or launch your own kayak. The large patio with gas grill and plenty of seating and tables that overlook the bay as well.
Bring up to 2 dogs, it is dog heaven with woods, shoreline and lots of space indoors and out. Water dogs especially love being able to jump into the bay.
This beautiful cottage is part is part of a large, family owned for over 100 years property/compound with extensive acreage, lots of history and privacy. The Annex has been thoughtfully updated and renovated to provide modern conveniences, but not lose the charm and vision of the original occupants. A classic Door County 'cottage' (if 5 large bedrooms can be called a cottage) you will enjoy hundreds of feet of walk into the water private waterfront (with more waterfront at the private pier/harbor) . Not a condo, motel in sight (or sound).
Play tennis or pickleball on the tennis court (or let the kids blow off steam and ride their trikes or play dodgeball on it - safe from traffic). The large, private pier provides fishing and stargazing opportunities.
Inside - Central A/C, wifi and smart TV are provided. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, flatware, cookware and electrics including pot and single serve coffee makers, crockpot, griddle, mixer. We also provide a water cooler with bottled water.
There is plenty of parking available adjacent to the house as well as parking for a boat/trailer if needed.
Great location a few minutes from the boat launch at Frank Murphy County Park, historic Horseshoe Bay Farms, downtown Egg Harbor, farm stands, wineries, art galleries, boutiques, golf, mini-golf, hiking, biking and dining options ranging from casual to full out splurges.
We offer direct booking and if interested contact Linda at cherryannexcottages@gmail.com or 608-438-4243 to enquire .
If you require dates that don't quite fit the VRBO calendar availability please contact Linda, sometimes we can make date accommodations, sometimes the VRBO calendar is messed up. Although Annex sleeps up to 12, our direct book rates are reasonable so why not have lots of room, privacy and waterfront instead of a condo and nosy neighbors? This home is larger than it looks. There is plenty of room for 12 people to spread out.
If you require even more rooms, our other waterfront property, Cherry Lodge is just a short, private path stroll away.

Your group was great! We are happy that you found it nice, as well as convenient.
I have to say it is not often that our cleaner goes in after a group leaves and calls me to say ‘wow! They left everything immaculate!’
Thanks again for choosing to stay at The Annex and you are welcome back any time!
Rob, Linda and the rest of the team

Our family spent a long weekend in Door County at this property. It is right on Green Bay and the views are amazing. The accommodations were great and very convenient location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful location! Privacy of the woods & the water is just past the yard! We saw the deers everyday. So much space in this location! It was perfect for our long Anniversary weekend to check out Door County!

We are happy you enjoyed yoir stay and the cottage! Thanks for leaving everything in such great shape and hope to host you again!
5 55+ ladies each had our own room! Nice house. Not super fancy but nice living room and bedrooms. Bigger and better than a cabin. Beautiful view and sunsets. Right in the water. Too cold and rainy for us to use the fire pit but it looked great. Close to egg harbor for food and such. Rob has great recos in his welcome letter. Make sure to make reservations for supper club! And perch fish fry in sister bay. Would love to come back in the summer!! Would recommend!
Incredible sunsets. We had never stayed on the water bayside. It will hard not to now. House had beds in bedrooms for 12. Also enough room to eat inside for 12 and outside for 12. We had up-to 8 people stay and 10 eat while staying and never felt crowded. Outdoor furniture was better than online pictures.

Thank you for your kind review! We are happy that you enjoyed your stay (and that new firepit seating) good to know that there was adequate room for all your group and guests.
Those sunsets really are something!
We appreciate that you treated the cottage as if it were your own and that you left it clean. You are always welcome back! Stay safe, stay well!
We were 9 adults and 2 children under 2 years. We had plenty of room for indoor activity and also enjoyed the firepit each night. Each evening, we experienced great sunsets on the Bay. Our daughter also did an outdoor baby reveal (It's a GIRL!!) This waterfront location is secluded but has great access to all that Door County has to offer.

Hi! first I ( and our cleaning person) want to thank you for leaving the house in amazing condition. It is so greatly appreciated because as you personally know, not everyone cares for other people’s belongings i they were their own. I am Really sorry you were disappointed with the kitchen and bathrooms, 100 year old cottage, limited space......:( I will let the owner know We always appreciate guest input as it helps us plan and budget for the future. Thanks again , and enjoy a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!
No problems at all. Lovely house, perfect for our family. Amazing view.

About the host

Why they chose this property
The Annex is part of a larger, over a century old, family owned summer retreat. Particular care has been taken to modernize it, yet keep a real Door County feel to it. Located on a private road, you won't experience traffic zipping by, yet you are just minutes from many Door County activities.
What makes this property unique
Waterfront privacy and spacious, this property is a far cry from cookie cutter condos and investor owned rental homes. Sleeping up to 12 in real beds, in real bedrooms at a per person nightly rate far less than motel rooms, this is the perfect base for exploring Door County, or hanging out and relaxing. A quick 4 lane drive from Green Bay to Sturgeon Bay and then just another 15 - 20 minutes gets you to this classic getaway.
