Waterfront cottage 3bdrm
This cottage is on the water, overlooking beautiful Sturgeon Bay. Perfect place for fishing, kayaking, bonfires, biking... One block from Otumba Park's tennis, basketball, volleyball courts, playground, and a public beach. gorgeous walk to downtown Sturgeon Bay. The 3 bedrooms in the cottage hold a King, Queen, and a Full bed. Additional Queen and Full sized hide-a-beds are available so we can now accommodate up to 10 guests. Full kitchen dining room for dinner parties with lots of indoor/outdoor space for family cookouts, reunions, or weddings. Musical instruments, vinyl records, movies, games, and books can entertain if the weather keeps you indoors. 2000' waterfront sundeck and 5' fire ring. 84'' dock (June 15th until Sept 15), I have built/rebuilt it with friends over the years with what I like to call "a hodgepodge collection of my emerging (and emergency) carpentry skills". My 12 year old son and I call Door County home year round and love to travel as much as possible during our guest stays. We hope that you will enjoy the cottage as much as we do. Guests of ALL AGES are ENCOURAGED to play the instruments in the music room. We love to hear it! In fact, feel free to use anything you find in and around the cabin: from tools, appliances, utensils, to the fire pit, and outdoor grills, or even the row boat or kayaks(at your own risk (during the day (and use life vests!))). We are not your typical waterfront rental.

Very family friendly. The old games and musical instruments were a hit with my grandkids. The owner had the pullout beds made up and ready which was a plus. The only negative was 7 people in one bathroom but we were fully aware of that going in.
We just want to say thank you so much!! We had an amazing time!!! there were plenty ofthings to do there, The property was clean and cozy felt like home away from home, and even brought happy child hood memories back! We definitely recommend!!! And we cannot wait to come back and make more memories!! Thank you so much our family had a great time!
Very nice place, finally enough towels and garbage bags, lots of games, didn't use the outdoor area because of winds but it was t perfect for us

This cottage was an adequate size for the three people in my group. However, sharing one bathroom was a little difficult but we managed it by planning our schedule the night before our event.
The cottage was clean and the beds were very comfortable. I felt relatively safe staying there. The owner was nice and friendly.
Great location, beautiful view, comfortable beds. Responsive Host. Couldn’t ask for anymore!
Our family of seven had a wonderful stay.
The accommodations had everything we needed, including kayaks and a canoe to explore the bay. Mike was a great host. We would definitely recommend to others!
A group of 60+ stayed for one night and loved sitting on the huge deck enjoying the music cascading across from the bay. The cottage is very comfortable for a group and we loved the music room. Michael was a great host! We all would stay there again.
Views from bay side of house and deck were great, house was very clean, if a bit dated, there is a city park with playground and sand beach two blocks walk away, the dock is serviceable(24’ boat with ~ 3’ draught), lots of things to do close by, about 1/2 hour to Lake MI by boat, great boat launch/cleaning station five minutes away, quiet neighborhood, lots of games and TVs if the weather turns bad. We’ll stocked kitchen and plenty of towels.
My friend's and I loved staying at this scenic waterfront cottage! The views were fantastic and the cottage provided a great space to hangout and relax both indoors and outdoors. Highly recommend!
The cottage was charming and very clean. Yes, as I read in other reviews it may be a bit dated, but that’s part of the charm. Would definitely stay there again.
