Located minutes away from Murphy Park, a locals favorite jumping pier, beach and play park for the littles. It's a perfect spot to set up shop for the day with your family or friend crew and enjoy a game of sand volleyball, jumping off the pier or just sit and enjoy the meditative sounds of the waves and read your favorite book!

Just 10 miles north of the City of Sturgeon Bay, 10 minutes from Egg Harbor and 25-30 minutes from Sister Bay, depending on traffic, The Bluff House is centrally located and the perfect spot to explore all of Door County or just settle in and enjoy being immersed in the woods of Door County.

5 miles from Murphy Park and Beach
10 minutes from Egg Harbor

Heading North:
Egg Harbor a offers everything you need and more from the shops, galleries, wineries, grocery and tasty eateries!

Keep driving north to check out Fish Creek Barringer's, one of my favorites restaurants or Bayside Coffee Shop for a fresh brew while you walk the streets.

Sister Bay offers a lot of outdoor seating and libations spots along with a visitors favorite, Al Johnsons, the place with the goats on the roof!

Head all the way to the tip of the Peninsula and drive the iconic curving road to the Washington Island Ferry Dock.

Heading South:
Sturgeon Bay offers many Artist Collectives (The Pearl, Lightbox, ReClaimed & Co). You can check out a play at Sturgeon Bay's newly renovated theater (Third Avenue Playhouse | T.A.P) or go enjoy a show at the one-of-a-kind Peninsula Players Theater or under the stars at Northern Sky Theater.

Door County is full of wonderful places to shop, galleries to peruse, wineries to stop and sip and top notch restaurants that starts in Sturgeon Bay and go all the way to the tip of the county.

The Bluff House
We loved the inside rooms and all the space. We paid the daily fees to have our 2 dogs along and they loved the nearby beach! Not many places let pets let alone 2 so we were very thankful! Perfect location to all the great towns in Door County.

Musty after rainfall
First night was really bad with a musty smell. The rest of the trip was great after airing it out and cranking the AC. I noticed the gutters don't have extensions and the ground slopes towards the house. I would not stay there again since I don't control the weather.

Stay
Enjoyed the stay. Nice location near egg harbor and very secluded surrounded by lots of forest. The interior was well designed and comfortable. The exterior had some debris around the property like old tires, fencing material, and an abandon sauna.
