Perfect Retreat for 2 | Studio Above Bakery, Dogs!
Bird's Nest by Getaway and Stay
This cozy studio is on the second floor and is situated directly above a bustling sourdough bakery, 'Cultured.' We may be getting up early to prepare some delectable treats. To prevent any disruption to your rest, we have supplied a noise machine for your use. This studio has its own private entrance located at the back of the house and its own balcony perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee or a sunset overlooking the stunning scenery.
Once you open the upper floor doors, you'll enter immediately into this studio's core - we've got our washer and dryer here in an enclosed space, then next is our fully stocked kitchen including a sink, stove, and oven, full-size refrigerator, coffee machine; all for use when inside. This place also includes dishes (including silverware) and cookware to make breakfast or dinner for yourself during your stay.
Walk right past the kitchen, there sits a spacious dining table by windows looking out over trees - perfect for eating while taking in nature! Past the dining area is our bright bedroom space configured with a large King bed. On the other side of this space, there you'll find the living area with a "full" size sleeper sofa & flat screen TV tucked away in one corner; what comes next? Well just beyond it all is our full-size bathroom just waiting for its next guest.
This unique and tranquil home in the heart of Door County is designed especially for couples, or perhaps a couple with 1-2 young children. With its unique design, this studio provides an open space living and dining area and a fully-equipped kitchen perfect for your intimate relaxation. It is a wonderful place to be alone and unwind, and yet a short distance to all that Northern Door County has to offer!
Please note that our vacation rental is located above a live bakery, which may result in some delicious aromas wafting into the space. While we hope that you enjoy the scent of fresh-baked goods, we also understand that it may not be for everyone. Therefore, we have taken measures to minimize any potential disruptions to your stay. We have provided an air purifier to help with any lingering bakery smells, as well as a white noise machine to mitigate any early morning noise. We hope that these amenities will ensure that you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay with us.
★ Curious about our cleaning fee? While ours might be slightly higher than others, we believe it's worth it for the quality experience we provide. Take a moment to read through and learn how it contributes to an exceptional stay! ★
OUTDOORS Enjoy a relaxing evening in our backyard with a cozy fire pit. It's perfect for roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, or simply unwinding under the stars. A great addition to your stay, offering a warm and inviting space to gather with family and friends.
CULTURED (Sourdough Bakery) Indulge in specialty sourdough bakery, where mouthwatering bagels, bread, and a delightful selection of fermented goodies like sauerkraut and kimchi are crafted. Visit their newly opened storefront every Friday to Sunday for a delicious experience (Please check their Social Media Pages for updated hours). Enjoy tempting bagel sandwiches, paired with aromatic drip coffee, while relaxing in our inviting outdoor seating area.
PETS Dogs are welcome. We allow up to 2 dogs, with a pet fee of $75 for every 2 dogs. Please bring bags and clean up after your pets.
WI-FI We have high-speed internet in this house, which is plenty fast enough to stream videos on multiple devices and facetime your friends and family. The cell phone service can be a bit spotty, but the WIFI will hopefully make up for it.
PARKING The driveway can park up to 2 cars or trucks but please do not park in the grass.
LAUNDRY We have a washer and dryer in the unit you can use.
NEIGHBORHOOD Our studio is above our bakery! :) This property is in a residential neighborhood while also situated next to other local businesses. Please respect our friends and neighbors and avoid loud, large parties. Please treat the neighbors like you live there. The neighborhood and backyard are perfect for grilling out, enjoying a fire, and laughing with your friends and family.
DAMAGE WAIVER While you're on vacation, rest easy knowing that you are protected under Safely if any accidents or damage occur. We will take care of the cost of this coverage, which is additional to any protection provided by the platform. If any damage happens, please let me know and I will make a claim with Safely. You can trust me to take care of everything for you, provided that you clean up after your dog.
The damage waiver fee, which is included in the total cost of your reservation for this property, covers up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the property or its contents, such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances. To qualify for coverage, you must report any incidents to us before checking out.
Please note that this waiver does not negate your responsibilities as a renter for items beyond Safely's scope of responsibility.
CANCELLATION POLICY We understand that plans can change unexpectedly, which is why we have a flexible cancellation policy that puts your mind at ease. If you decide to cancel your booking more than 14 days before your scheduled arrival date, you will receive a 97% refund of the total booking amount. The remaining 3% will be retained as a non-refundable transaction fee to cover the costs associated with processing your booking. However, if you cancel your booking within 14 days of your scheduled arrival date, we regret that we will not be able to offer any refund. Nevertheless, we will do our best to accommodate any change requests that you may have, subject to availability and applicable fees.
CLEANING FEE We understand you may have questions about our cleaning fee, so let us shed some light on its purpose. It's not just a number; it reflects our commitment to immaculate cleanliness and fair treatment of our cleaning team.
The cleaning fee primarily supports our cleaners with living wages, empowering them to thrive in today's economy. We believe in respecting their hard work, which directly translates into the quality of your stay.
Beyond cleanliness, we're dedicated to ensuring your experience is seamless. We're on call to address any issues promptly, guaranteeing your peace of mind throughout your stay.
Rest assured, the cleaning fee isn't for profit. It directly supports fair compensation for our cleaners and includes a unique damage coverage policy, providing added protection for both you and our property.
Additionally, our commitment to excellence is reflected in the consistent praise for our cleanliness from previous guests.
We look forward to hosting you in our carefully prepared home, where every detail is chosen with your comfort and peace of mind in mind. We're here to ensure you have a great stay!

The apartment was very clean and well equipped. We felt very secure and it was very quiet as well. The bed was very comfortable too! The furniture is in great condition. Unfortunately the bakery was closed during our stay, but judging by the number of cars that stopped by to check on it it must be very popular. We certainly will keep this place in mind for future visits!

Clean and convenient location. There is some noise from the bakery downstairs but there is a fan provided that drowns it out. We very much enjoyed it and would stay again.

The property was well maintained. Owner was extremely courteous. We stayed for two nights. It was wonderful. Place is near to major attractions in Sister Bay.
The area is great however we did not have ac or Wi-Fi for a few days which was difficult. But overall we had a great time.
