Cozy retreat. 1 bedroom house, Internet. Open May 1st -Nov 1st

Nature abounds at this peaceful cottage for one or two. If you're looking just to get away from it all, write the Great American Novel, or kick back and relax, this is the perfect place for you! Sit by the campfire, enjoy the deck or on those cooler nights, light a fire in the fireplace and get cozy. Cottage has been completely renovated and redone from head to toe. Perfect for one or two or a couple with a baby. King size bed in bedroom with a back wall of windows that overlook the rear yard and woods on an acre of land. About 10 minutes from Sturgeon Bay, which is filled with quaint shops and delightful restaurants.

Had a wonderful time!
We love quiet places surrounded by trees, so this cottage just outside of Sturgeon Bay was a perfect fit for what we look for in a vacation destination. The bungalow was just the right size for 2 people, the mattress was wonderfully comfortable, the kitchen was easy to navigate, the back deck was a great place to hang out... in all, the experience exceeded the cottage's description. We'll be returning to this one, no doubt.

Perfect lake cottage getaway! We saw some complaints about the lack of cell coverage, yet we came for exactly that. Maybe the tv works, never even thought of turning it on. We loved this cottage. The sky views of the stars outside by a fire were beautiful. Hope to return again soon!

Perfect getaway spot
Secluded location, but only a 10 min drive into town, this place made a perfect base for spending a week in Door County. The cottage is comfortable and completely updated, large bed and sectional for relaxing and recharging. Great communication from the hosts, the cottage is east to find and access. Wi-Fi seems to be added recently, I would not rely on this however, so either have your online planning done beforehand, or do it closer to town. You should be here to unplug anyway :) Would recommend and would stay again.

Always a Wonderful Place
Everyone always loves to go to Door County and we love to visit Sturgeon Bay! This is a wonderful little cottage, the WiFi signal helped my iMessage texts come in better but I actually missed not having WiFi as on our visit last year. We don’t always need to be “connected”. Loved the new couch it’s so cozy. Great little place, highly recommend!!

Delightful Hideaway
This property was wonderful. A fantastic base of operations for our daily excursions into northern Door County. We cooked meals in the well-stocked kitchen, relaxed by the firepit, & got some our best sleep in months on the comfiest of beds. Thank you for hosting us. We will be back soon!

Great location, clean, quiet - needs a few things fixed
Easy to get to, but far enough away from the traffic to be quiet and private. Only a few minutes away from Potawatomi State Park, which gets fewer visitors than the bigger parks to the north. Bed is comfortable. Kitchen is adequate, but like most rentals, you'll need to haul real kitchen gear in if you're doing any serious cooking. All of the important stuff was well-maintained. A few easily fixable problems: The sofa is in bad need of replacement, and there really is no other comfortable seating. The bedroom needs dark blinds or shades on the west windows to block light from nearby outbuilding - I had to hang up blankets to darken the room enough to sleep, especially with the rain making that light flicker. When the wind was blowing, which it did quite a lot on our last night there, we heard a constant knocking sound. I think it came from the TV antenna mast, which is loose in its mount and bumping the fascia. I still gave the place 4 stars. We're both really light sleepers. Fix that and you get 5 stars. A few guests complained about lack of cell service and wifi in older reviews. We got two bars on our phones, so I think the mobile providers have built more towers since. Hold your phone near an open window for more signal. Hey. you're in the boons. All in all, it's a pretty good place to stay for that price point.

Sturgeon Bay cottage
Cute, cozy 1BR, 1.5 bath cabin near Sturgeon Bay. It was very clean & the king bed was nice and firm. Only downside is that there is NO WiFi, so unless you desire to be off the grid, be sure to check your coverage for that exact address. My mother is ill, so I had to drive up the road a couple of times each day to check in with her & my sister

Cozy Secluded Cottage in Sturgeon Bay - August 2022
We were impressed with the little details to make us feel comfortable during our stay. Filtered water, comfy king-size bed, Keurig machine with coffee pods provided, plenty of towels and blankets, beautiful deck with nice patio furniture, and very well-maintained and clean. It seemed like no corners were cut. A very cozy cottage in a quiet area near the bay. Just what we needed. Thank you for a relaxing stay.

This property was well cared for and maintained. Clean and as pictures show. A bit off the beaten path with an approximate 10 minute drive to Sturgeon Bay but totally quiet and reclusive because of it. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

Sweet Little Cottage
This is the sweetest little cottage in the middle of nowhere and yet close to home. It was exactly what my husband and I needed, a place in the country somewhat close to town without any cell phone reception! It was such a blessing to unplug! We once in a while would get a little text message by the coffee pot but otherwise, no reception which was a God send for two busy workers. Thank you for an amazing stay we loved it and will be back!!
