About this property

Door County's Chalet On The Shore

Our home is set on a quaint piece of Door County's shoreline. Just steps from the waters of Sturgeon Bay, its location is very private, yet convenient to the city. The Chalet was built by my father in law, who spent his life working as a shipbuilder in Sturgeon Bay. Much of the structure is constructed with wood from ships dating back to the building of mine-sweepers during World War II. We've worked hard to try and update the home without losing its true uniqueness.

The Chalet hosts 3 bedroom-2 baths. With its distinctive structure, the cathedral ceilings present an open concept living/dining room area plus a newly remodeled kitchen with upgraded appliances.
Captains Quarters- The upstairs loft including a balcony provide the master with a king bed and en suite bathroom. The balcony adds extra sleeping with a futon.
On the main floor there are 2 bedrooms & a shared full bath.
Queens Stateroom-Has a bed fit for a Queen. Also a Pack & Play and an air mattress are in this bedroom closet.
Crews Quarters- Supplied with 4 twin beds (1-Bunk Bed & 1-Trundle Bed), to accommodate added guests. As well as the toddler rail for one of the twin-beds. Full-size laundry facilities are tucked in the closet of this room.
Also a Queen Sleeper Sofa is located in the shared living room on the main floor.

From the Chalet's large patio you will enjoy the early morning sunshine peaking from the east and the evenings captivating colors lighting up the surrounding bay. We hope you take pleasure in its unique hidden setting and think you're going to love the charm of our shoreside retreat.

This property is amazing! The house was perfect for our family of six. Jennifer and Brian have provided everything down to the smallest detail. We had many trips up into Door County and quiet evenings on the deck watching the most beautiful sunsets.

Updated, clean, and comfortable house right on the water

We had a wonderful stay in this house. We had great access to the water and were able to swim right off the doc with our large dog. The kitchen and grill had plenty of room and supplies for us to cook our meals. The yard and patio were great for relaxing and eating meals with a view of the water. We had a wonderful stay! Thank you Jennie and Brian!

Great Door County Family Vacation

After 32 years, my husband and I returned to Door County with my son's family for a week of family fun. The Chalet on the Shore was the perfect home for all of us. With young children from 1-8, there were activities available for all, from playing yard games to fishing off the dock and kayaking. Our hosts could not have been more accommodating and we look forward to making this a new annual family tradition.

First time Door County-ers

Loved the location. Right on the water at the end of dead end. Dogs could roam freely and enjoy the water at their will. Easy access to the downtown of Sturgeon Bay. Easy day trips to anywhere in Door County. Very clean and well kept home.

Cozy gem on the waterfront

What a beautiful home, well-kept, thoughtfully decorated and stocked, with stunning views of the shoreline from both indoors and out. Our family of 4 truly enjoyed our stay. We went kayaking twice a day with the fantastic kayaks provided, grilled outdoors on the charcoal grill, enjoyed the outdoor toys and hammock, and indoor board games. The hosts welcomed us with a basket of local snacks and treats, and were very responsive throughout our stay. We can't wait to come back.

Charming lakefront home with plenty of amenities

This cozy bay front home made our first trip to Door County truly memorable. We appreciated the many thoughtful items offered at the house that made it comfortable. Our family enjoyed sunset picnics overlooking the water, leisure bike rides on country roads, napping on the hammock, fishing, boating, kayaking and more. There really was something for everyone and we couldn’t have asked for a better summer getaway experience.

Our little secret...

This place is amazing, but I’d kinda like to keep it a secret ;) So cozy, clean and very well kept. The owners thought of everything! No need to travel further north as we prefer a somewhat rustic less commercialized area yet near everything we need from groceries to a quaint downtown to sandy beaches and boat rentals. It was perfect for our family and we intend to return.

Cozy and charming chalet

This sweet chalet by the water provided a relaxing getaway while being convenient to Door County for day drives. The stay provided all the amenities one would wish for, from a cozy fireplace indoors to kayaks and bikes and a hammock. We enjoyed fishing off the dock with the poles provided. Everything was sparkling clean and the owners were responsive and engaged. There are so many places to hike/walk just a stone's throw away. We would most definitely love to come back!
