My name is Kelly and I am the property manager, my office hours are 9-6pm.
Bay Cliff View Cottage was once part of one of Door County mom and pop resorts, our cottage is one of the few that visually has the cottage charm on the outside but fully renovated on the inside.
The cottage is one side of a duplex so we ask that our guests are respectful to the neighbors that live in the other side of the duplex and respect quiet hours 10pm-7am.
This is a great home base for access to all that Door County offers and 45 min to Lambeau Field. It is one mile to the Wave Pointe Marina.
You'll have access to the entire home.
You’ll appreciate the well stocked kitchen, comfy living space with fireplace, & classic Door County water views.
Outside on the deck, there’s a picnic table and charcoal grill for your use. Door County locals enjoy a friendly yet competitive game of cribbage over a favorite drink-- maybe you will too.
If you want to get even closer to the incredible sunset and bay views, settle into the well-designed and serene fire pit area, which overlooks the bay from the cliff above. It’s just a few steps down a grassy walkway to a classic Door County beach with an endless supply of skipping rocks. However you spend your time, this is a place to sit back, relax, and recharge.
Master Bedroom with a walk in closet includes a King Bed + Smart TV
Second bedroom is has a twin trundle bed
The living room offers additional sleeping with a queen pull sofa sleeper.
There are 2 smart TV’s & board games available to you.

Yay, We love to read reviews like this! Come back again!
Beautiful and Peaceful place to relax by the lake. The lake house is beautiful inside and out. We had gorgeous sunsets and enjoyed the quiet location. Very clean and are definitely planning on returning.
We stayed here to celebrate a wedding anniversary. It was a lovely home and a beautiful setting. We really loved waking up each morning to the water. Our kids enjoyed finding all the painted rocks among the landscaping rocks. Thank you for allowing us to stay, we would stay again!
Very clean and in good condition. It was very quiet and private. Price is right. Loved the back yard and the view.

Things they don’t tell you…
This is a lovely home, no doubt about it. It is about 10 miles from stores so kind of isolated, but located right on the bay with a gorgeous view of sunsets. We were not informed that the clothes washer wasn’t working nor was the fireplace. Management did refund us $100 for this but we were traveling with a 2yo and needed the washer. Also turns out there was loud construction on both sides of the house. So getting away to Door County was like being in the center of Chicago part of our 4 night stay there. Rent at your own risk. We weren’t told, management said they didn’t know about the construction so we are telling you here.
Also when they finally give you full details close to your rental day, they go on in some detail about not using much water because of the septic system. Not letting water run as you brush your teeth for instance. The water pressure was good but no garbage disposal in the kitchen. Long drive they ask you to haul the garbage up to the street Sunday nights for Monday pick up. All this is worth it to be out away from noise, but you don’t get that. At least not this year. Best to ask before you rent this house. You’re welcome!

Hi Judy,
We are sorry you didn't enjoy your time with us. Bay Cliff is truly a special spot and the majority of our guests love the place but everyones comfort level is different and we can respect that.
Unfortunately, we are not updated by private property owners with their plans for their property so we were not aware of the construction you mentioned and do recognize that that may have been unwanted.
The washer has been fixed but those types of things are something we can not plan for and do to where we live, there isn't the service people to pull from like other cities and our waits tend to be much longer to get things fixed. It is part of living in such a small, remote yet stunning peninsula.
We ask our guests to be water conscious not only because we have a holding tank for our septic but also it is just a good practice not to waste water.
We hope you find a place that is better suited for you in the future in Door County.
Sincerely,
Kelly
