Waterfront! New Construction The Resting Place

*New Home with availability for Summer 2024!*
Welcome to the Resting Place, hosted by Simple Life Rentals. This newly constructed in 2024 home is your waterfront retreat on 1.5 wooded acres, nestled right on the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan in Sturgeon Bay!

With 2 bedrooms, a third private versatile room for sleeping or lounging, and 2 baths, the Resting Place comfortably sleeps 5 guests, making it ideal for families or small groups seeking a tranquil getaway. As you enter on the ground floor, a full flight of stairs leads you to the inviting second-floor living space where panoramic views of the lake await.

Just 50 steps away, you'll find your private shoreline where you can relax, barbecue, or gather around the firepit for cozy evenings under the stars. Take in the breathtaking view of the Canal Lighthouse, complete with its nostalgic foghorn echoing across the water.

Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both, The Resting Place offers an unforgettable escape in the heart of Door County.
