About the host

Host profile image
Built in 1946 by a founding fishing family with lumber from the surrounding cedar trees and recently remodeled, the cottages preserve the original layout while offering comfortable accommodations and a relaxing atmosphere.
Bought in 2001 by a Door County native with the idea of offering a restorative and safe environment close to nature and the beautiful landscapes of the Northern Peninsula.

Whether you are travelling with your family, friends, loved one or spending sometime exploring on your own, the cottages offer an ideal location for visiting the busier towns farther South and returning for a quiet evening dinner at home.
