About this property

Private Wooded Cottage - 8 Min to Sister Bay

  • Tucked among the trees in a peaceful, private setting, Birch Isle Cottage is your own little Door County hideaway — just 8 minutes from downtown Sister Bay and 5 minutes from Ellison Bay. In the fall, the wooded setting becomes especially cozy– crisp mornings, changing leaves, fires at night, and Sister Bay just minutes away.

    Spend the day exploring Door County, hiking nearby parks, shopping in Sister Bay or enjoying dinner and drinks in town. Then come home to the quiet of the woods, gather around the private fire pit, sip a glass of wine on the patio or challenge the family to ping pong or foosball in the game room.

    Whether you`re planning a couples getaway, family vacation or weekend with friends, Birch Isle Cottage gives you the best of both worlds: privacy and room to relax without sacrificing proximity to everything you came to Door County to enjoy.

August was very accommodating to our reservation and worked well with us on extending our reservation an extra day. Awesome property, well worth the cost especially for larger families. Garage game room was a plus however we really appreciated the outside firepit.

Nicely renovated house in the northern quiet area of Door County. The house fit us nicely (4 adults, 3 kids). The bunk bed room was great for the kids and they loved the game room in the garage. The outdoor patio and fire pit area has nice seating. The hosts are very welcoming and responsive. Would definitely stay again.

Overall great experience and accommodations. Beds were very comfy, towels and bedding higher quality. Small bath needs some updating, new shower head would be an upgrade (this one hurts) and a slight mildew smell from plumbing detected but not a deal breaker. Outdoor yard was well equipped with fire pit, WOOD, Adirondack chairs, table/chairs for al fresco dining, rocking chairs for early morning coffee, and game room/garage space also well equipped. Kitchen nicely appointed with plenty of serving pieces, plates, etc. as well as toaster, blender, coffee pot and/or Keurig, etc. Larger coffee mugs would be nice. Other bath updated but again mildew smell from drains. Overall, we would highly recommend this property.
