Beautiful Apartments in a turn-of-the-century historic building-Apt A
This listing is for Apartment "A". Beautiful Apartments in a turn-of-the-century historic building. This is your chance to experience a bit of history when you stay in one of two beautifully furnished apartments above the Gerhart Building. This building dates back to 1891 and 1905. The oldest portion of the building first served as a tavern and the 1905 section of the building was built to be a hardware store known for many years as Gerhart's Hardware. The street-level portion of the building currently houses "Hello Dolly", a delightful gift and apparel shop, and "The Honeycomb", a great place to drop in and find local artisan items or handmade soaps and candles while vacationing.
After you enter the unassuming door on the street level of 2nd Street and climb a short flight of stairs, you will be pleasantly surprised to find two of the loveliest vintage apartments in all of downtown Algoma! They are bright and sunny with floor to ceiling windows in the living rooms and cozy bedrooms, with fully appointed kitchens/ Apartment A has three bedrooms (one queen, one full, and two twins) and one bath and an extra sink and vanity in the hall. There is a large front living area that also has a pull-out couch and a gorgeous '4 seasons' room with knotty pine ceilings and windows around the whole room that offer a panoramic view of the winery, lake, and marina. This apartment has 4 small TV's that are either DVD or VHS ready and there is an extensive DVD and VHS collection with 100's of movies to choose from. Free WiFi is also available. The full-sized kitchen is completely stocked with everything you would need to create a beautiful meal, but you may prefer any of the many fine dining establishments that are less than a block away. "Off the Hook" and "Pizza Bowl" are couple of the owner's favorites. There is a washer and dryer available for use also.
When you walk into Apartment B, the floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors, and graceful arches in the living dining room will take your breath away. This lovely apartment has two bedrooms (one with a queen and one with two twins) and one bathroom. The kitchen is huge and cheery - a great place to cook a good old fashioned breakfast to enjoy at the antique dining table. Again, there is free WiFi and access to a multitude of movies.
This would be a perfect place to host a 'girlfriend trip' or a romantic get-away. And don't forget about the Von Stiehl Winery directly across the street! They have a wonderful tour and they host several events throughout the year.

Beds were very comfortable! Mark was able to stop in to help get the gas stove working - he was very nice and timely! Furniture needs to be updated as the 4 seasons room loveseat and recliner have seen better days..
Oh I'm so glad! Algoma and Door County are loaded with fun things to do but it's always nice to be able to hang out at the apartment and watch a movie, do a puzzle, play a game, or create a masterpiece! You and your family are welcome back any time :)
This was an awesome place to stay, very clean and spacious.
Everything was in walking distance and the Northwater Bakery and Deli is absolutely the best. Highly recommend this property for your stay in Algoma.

About the host
Your host
Goose Down Properties was the result of four friends who met through a duck hunting forum. The members were offered the opportunity to purchase the Gerhart Building from the wonderful owner after staying in the apartments several times over the years. Three of the members live in the nearby Fox Valley. All of the members share a passion for the outdoors.
Why they chose this property
We enjoy the convenience of it all. It's a very close walk back from some good hangouts. You can hit the bowling lanes directly across the street from the front door, and the winery is just across the other street. You can be at the beach in a matter of minutes on foot. The shops downstairs offer some nice items.
What makes this property unique
The building, itself. It is in a fantastic location, only minutes from anything. There is plenty of space to spread out in Apt A, with its two living rooms. Apt B boasts a very charming readers nook and family room area. Its antiquity adds to its appeal. It's one of the oldest buildings in town and is part of the Algoma historic walking tour.
