As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a spacious and inviting living area with modern furnishings and tasteful decor. A brand new sectional couch and a pair of comfortable chairs offer an excellent space to converse or watch a movie around the fire (just flip a switch to turn it on!). Sink into a good book and unwind after a day of exploring the scenic beauty of Door County. Large windows allow natural light to flood the room, creating a warm and inviting space.

The fully-equipped kitchen is a chef's delight, boasting stainless steel appliances, premium coffee bar, and ample space for preparing delicious meals. Whether you're whipping up a quick breakfast or hosting a gourmet dinner party, you'll find everything you need right at your fingertips.

Adjacent to the sunroom, you’ll find one of the highlights of the home: a private outdoor hot tub, professionally maintained and ideal for year-round relaxation. Slip into the bubbling waters and let your worries melt away as you soak under the stars. It's the perfect spot to relax and rejuvenate after a day of hiking, biking, or exploring the charming shops and galleries of Door County. On rare, clear nights during peak conditions, guests may catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights. The hot tub is professionally maintained and typically kept between 100–104°F. During cold weather, reheating may take additional time after extended use.

When it's time to retire for the night, you'll find three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each offering a tranquil sanctuary for rest and relaxation. The master bedroom features a luxurious king-sized bed, plush linens, and elegant furnishings, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The two additional bedrooms offer cozy accommodations for family or friends, with comfortable beds and ample storage space. The living room offers a hide-a-bed in the couch for extra sleeping if needed.

Outside, a spacious patio provides the ideal setting for outdoor enjoyment or simply soaking up the sunshine. Fire up the grill and enjoy a barbecue with loved ones, or simply lounge with a good book and a glass of wine.

Located just minutes from Ellison Bay’s charming downtown area, the home is walkable to select local spots like coffee shops, the general store, and the harbor, while most restaurants and attractions throughout Door County are a short, easy drive away. Whether you're exploring nearby state parks, sampling local wines and ciders, or simply walking to the shoreline, you'll find endless opportunities for adventure and relaxation in Door County.

This home is especially well suited for families, couples, and small groups looking for a quiet, well-appointed base to explore Door County by day and unwind in comfort at night.

4th of July Stay

Wonderful hosts and beautiful home. It's the rare place that's even cleaner and nicer than described in the listing. We had a great few days staying in the home and had no issues at all. The hosts checked in to ensure everything was going smoothly, and the house is very well stocked with anything you might need. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay in Door County.

For anyone wanting to explore Washington Island and the Clearing this is the perfect launching point. As a plus great pub food at Mink River Basin and don’t miss Della Porta for fabulous Italian cuisine. Both within walking distance from the house. House was comfortable for two couples and could have handled two more. Would consider renting again.

Excellent Property

This vacation rental is beautiful and has all the amenities we needed for an awesome vacation...from all types of coffee preparation equipment (we used them all!!) to a wonderful outdoor patio area including grill, gas fire pit, and hot tub. The house is beautifully appointed with plenty of space for 4 adults.We appreciated access to streaming services for rainy day entertainment. The location is very private/quiet and perfectly situated for exploring northern Door County. Check in instructions were perfect and the owners communicated very well. We highly recommend this property!

AMAZING

The attention to detail was amazing! We loved every minute of staying here. Actually being able to use the hot tub and all the amenities. I had a family with 3 small kids/infant and we had everything we needed. I love the fact they pay attention to every detail of the property. They left good qualify coffee, appliances, beds, sheets, Tvs, audio, kids paltes, highchair, pack and play, etc. We even loved the decor. We wish we would have stayed here our entire trip to door county!

About the host

Hosted by Laura & Nate

Host profile image
Our family lives in southeastern Wisconsin, and we grew up coming to Door County with our families. We look forward to sharing our space with you as you make your time in Door County exactly how you want it!

Why they chose this property

We love northern Door County, and couldn't wait to share a special spot to us with other people. The location is very quiet and serene, yet only minutes away from the water and some of our favorite places to go enjoy.

What makes this property unique

This home is very new, with a fun, unique design that appeals to everyone. A beautiful private backyard full of tall trees can be enjoyed on the comfortable patio furniture and fire feature. At the end of an exciting day in Door County, the hot tub offers the chance to relax and recharge and gaze upon the stars above, and possibly catch the Aurora Borealis.
