We had a wonderful stay at the cabin! It was very cute and very clean. It is very updated inside with a modern full kitchen. The street is very quiet and it was a short walk to downtown for restaurants, shopping and sunset viewing. The property owner was very quick to respond to any questions that I had. We will definitely consider staying here again on future visits.

This cottage is absolutely amazing. Well kept up and modern and very close (but out of the way) of town. I often walked to get to the Bay Area and town. I would recommend this cottage to anyone.

First stay in Sister Bay

We loved the property! It was just a couple blocks off of the downtown strip and the water, but very quiet and had a real cottage feel with great updates. Really the best of both worlds because it was close to everything, but the little backyard was private and had a woodsy feel but close to lots of great places.

Hits the spot

For me this stay it was perfect location - choice of spots to watch the game, eat and meet friends for cherry drop (look it up), all 5 minutes walking at most. The cottage was cleaned professionally, well outfitted and kept up.

Nicely updated cottage

Nicely updated interior to an old family cottage provides the modern amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Nice location just outside of downtown Sister Bay makes it easy to walk or bike to all the town has to offer. The house is perfect for a small family getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Matthew Johnson

Born and raised in Sister Bay, I moved out to Minneapolis for college at the University of Minnesota. Upon graduation, I found a home and stayed in the Twin Cities. I enjoy outdoor activities like boating, snowboarding, and traveling with my family!

Why they chose this property

This home was build almost 50 years ago for my Great Grandma and has since been rented out by my grandparents in the summer to families and summer visitors. When the opportunity to own our little piece of Door County arose, we were so excited. We love vising family in the summer and enjoying all the parks, beaches, and wonderful things to do in Sister Bay.

What makes this property unique

Private fire pit and bike or walk to downtown Sister Bay. Nestled not far off the main road, it offers a peaceful setting in nature with the excellent access to the amenities of downtown. Enjoy shopping, restaurants, beer gardens, and plenty of night life!
