About this property
Bay Cliff Cottage Retreat | A Southern Door County Retreat
Welcome to the tranquility of Door County. When it is time to kick back, relax, and unplug, this is an ideal place to do it.
From the moment you walk in the front door you'll be greeted with stunning water views. A hallway opens up to a thoughtfully designed and curated great room, dining, and kitchen area. The living area includes a number of board games, as well as a smart TV where you can log into your preferred streaming services.

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.
