About this property

Ellison Bay tranquility close to Europe Lake, Newport State Park and Beach!

This charming rental property has been lovingly updated inside and out. Deceivingly larger on the inside than it looks from the outside, we have plenty of room for everyone!

We now have Starlink internet so you can work while you are here (if you really want to) and everyone can stream on their devices!

A combination of chic, classy and traditional decor welcomes you while the neutral color pallet soothes away your daily worries and invites you to relax and unwind. Close enough to all that Door County has to offer yet quiet enough to forget the hustle and bustle.

This adorable house sits on one and a half acres with the perfect front porch for enjoying your morning coffee or an afternoon glass of wine. The large open field area is perfect for throwing the football or frisbee and overlooks 2 of our neighbors often photographed, picture perfect red barns. You might even see our neighbors 2 goats 🐐!

Inside you will find the perfect floor plan to fit all of your needs and allergy friendly hardwood floors throughout!
The first floor includes a living room complete with a realistic faux fireplace, a dining room with seating for 6 adults plus we offer a highchair, an open kitchen floor plan, a pantry with mini fridge for drinks, a bedroom with a California King size bed, chair and closet, a full bath, a laundry closet and a family room with loveseat and toy cabinet.
Upstairs you will find a full bath, a bedroom with a Queen bed and small closet, a small nursery nook with crib and rocking chair and another bedroom with a Queen size bed, chair and a walk in closet. For your child's added safety, we have baby proofed all of the lower outlets in the house.

Perfect for families, couples, get-togethers and small reunions, this property allows you to escape to a peaceful country setting while remaining only minutes away from all of the fun-filled places, activities, shops, parks, beaches, water sports and so much more Door County has to offer.

After a full day of activities, pick up some firewood and s’mores fixings and end your night under the stars sitting by a campfire in our popular fire pit circle.

County Comfort is perfect, very clean, they have thought of every detail. The location is kind of out of the way and perfect for a quiet setting. We enjoyed a fire, we played games on the dining table. The beds are super comfortable. We already booked again for next year! Love this place.

Northern Door County Oasis

My wife and I really enjoyed our recent stay near Ellison Bay. The house and property were very spacious. The house was very clean, comfortable, and private. We were a bit surprised by the amount of drive by traffic as the location is off the main road, but we didn’t find it to be distracting or bothersome. Overall, an excellent place to stay that is plenty close to all the areas of interest in northern Door County. We would definitely stay here again.

10/10. Would stay again.Beautiful little cottage, and very comfortable. Each room has its own temperature control, which is nice in the summer. Great wifi connection and a smart TV. Within driving distance of everything we wanted to do. The fire pit was nice. Great amenities. Very clean. The hosts were very welcoming and sweet and answered all our questions.

This was the cleanest and most organized Vrbo I’ve ever stayed in. The location was perfect. Very easy to zip to the busier towns but able to leave the congestion and relax when we wanted peace and quiet

We loved our family vacation to Door County in this lovely home. Our kids routinely asked if we could live in the house forever! The big side yard was great for running around before/after s'mores and stargazing. There was a very pregnant goat next door that also brought a lot of joy to the visit. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was great - the only downside is that you're a bit of a drive from some of the centrally located attractions in Door County. We would still come back!

About the host

Hosted by Valerie & Daniel Austgen

Host profile image
My husband and I met in Sister Bay in 1996. We married in 1999 and feel very blessed to live and raise our family in Door County.
Along with raising our family and taking care of this rental, we also own and operate Bay Battery & Towing, Inc.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this quiet little house in 2002 and completely gutted and remodeled it over the span of the next 2 years.
We raised our 4 children in this house until purchasing my in-laws house in Sister Bay in 2011. After renting year round to a few different renters, in October of 2016 we decided to try renting the house out as a Vacation Rental By Owner.
Over that winter and spring, we repainted the interior and exterior and enjoyed hunting for bargains to completely furnish the house.
A few of our favorite things about this house include listening to nature with a cup of coffee on the covered front porch in the morning, enjoying stargazing in the dark night sky by the fire-pit at night and having individual thermostats to control the temperature in each of the rooms for those cooler evenings.
We hope that you will come and join us at our little slice of Ellison Bay heaven that we call Country Comfort in beautiful Door County, Wisconsin!

What makes this property unique

This house has hardwood floors throughout for those carpet suffering allergy haters. It is spray foam insulated for cooler summers and warmer winters. Each room has it's own thermostat so that everyone can find their own comfort level. There are more than enough outlets to plug all of your electronics into and all of our electrical is in conduit just like a commercial building would have. We have plenty of unobstructed views of the night sky from our one and a half acre lot. Close to Highway 42, Europe Lake and Newport State Park & beach.
