This property was built by my great grandfather, and I grew up living here. The original house burned down when my grandfather, Frank, was a small boy (who also grew up in the home). The current house was rebuilt by members of the community who came together to help, with the lumber from a church in Ephraim that had been dismantled.
Growing up my parents also owned the 5 cottages across the street and my father ran a charter fishing business in the summer and upholstery business in the winter. The office was in the front room of our home and the boat was docked at the dock (at the time it was owned by my grandfather Frank). Before my parents bought it, my great grandmother and great grandfather ran it as a bed and breakfast for visiting fisherman. If you look above the doors upstairs, you can still see the room numbers, 1-4.
We purchased this property from my father in 2021 to keep it in the Teskie family. We are working on repairs and upkeep as well as updating. We are doing this slowly because want to keep our rates low because we believe that Door County should be a place where everyone can stay and enjoy it's natural beauty and fun activities.
We hope you enjoy your stay and are always pleased to accommodate you!
