Stop scrolling, you have found THE one. Often described as one of Door County’s best-kept secrets, this charming cabin sits on a private peninsula which means 360-degree views of the water, privacy, and an East AND West facing dock so you can enjoy a cocktail at sunset and coffee with the sunrise.
Located on a rare Door County inland lake, offering that “getting away from it all” up north feeling while being just 15-30 minutes from towns like Bailey’s Harbor, Fish Creek, Egg Harbor, and Sister Bay. Enjoy your own oasis while being close to the restaurants and shops of the famous (and busier aka more crowded) Door County towns.
As you approach the cabin, you’ll drive until the road ends because we’re the last stop. Enter the gate and you’ll find a completely private oasis and entire peninsula to enjoy your time away and notice water views no matter which direction you look. It’s truly something you have to experience to appreciate how special this place is. Along the circular driveway sits 3 separate structures: the cabin, the garage with 2nd story loft, and the “doghouse” which is what we call our clubhouse for kids.
As you enter the cabin you’ll notice a newly renovated bathroom to your left with a new washer and dryer to use during your stay. Next, the kitchen has all new appliances as well and has everything you’d ever want or need to cook and host your group while at the cabin. Notice that water view out the kitchen window before continuing on to the living room with vaulted ceilings, wood beams, a pullout couch should you need an additional sleeping area, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace that is the star of the show... Water views to your left and right make you feel like you’re directly on the water.
Continuing on to the first-floor master bedroom with a queen bed and ensuite bathroom - this room was thoughtfully designed by the previous owner who was a sailor and his love of boats inspired the use of space here. Steps from the water, you’ll again see nothing but lake out the windows and notice two hammock tree swings hangout out over the water from the tree and make a note to enjoy a book or cocktail at sunset in that spot later.
Up the stairs, you’ll find a third newly renovated bathroom with concrete vanity, white tiled shower, and stone floor (and of course, another water view out the window)! Two more bedrooms finish out the 2nd floor each with king beds, smart TVs, and you guessed it - yet another water view for each. The east-facing bedroom also has a twin pullout bed for kids and there is a pack-n-play should you need it during your stay as well.
Moving back outdoors, the expansive deck stretches across the waterfront offering a few spots to hang out and enjoy the view including a gazebo, outdoor fireplace, and concrete patio. Kayaks, canoes, and the option to rent a pontoon offers a variety of ways to enjoy the water!
Onto the next structure, “The loft”, is a 2nd-floor area great for hosting privacy for one of the families in your group with a queen bed, 3-level twin bunk bed, dining/game table, couch, coffee maker, frig, and microwave.
The final structure, our kid's favorite - “The Doghouse” is a cute clubhouse for kids offering its own lakeside deck, two twin beds, a couch, tv, and chairs, and a sound system to communicate back to the main cabin. Books, games, and a lake view make this sweet spot another private oasis to enjoy during your stay.
Saving the best for last is the entertainment area in the middle of the peninsula offering a 15 ft farm table under twinkly lights for dinners al fresco and game nights and s’mores by the firepit.
Head down your own hiking trail to the tip of the peninsula and you’ll find a large wooden swing that fits 8 people, a special family heirloom of where the owners got engaged, and the perfect spot to take in the views of the lake, surrounded by water and nature. Sometimes, we won’t see our kids for hours because they’re off exploring the peninsula, building forts, or fishing.
Did we mention we’re dog friendly? We wouldn’t leave our buddy home from a trip to the lake and don’t expect you to either. $150/dog - just let us know you’ll be bringing your pets with you so we can add the fee to your booking.
Our cabin is less than 2 miles from famous local attractions like Cave Point, Whitefish Dunes State Park, and Lake Michigan, you’ll be able to enjoy all that inland lake life has to offer (swimming, boating, and fishing) while being steps away from some of the most popular spots with visitors.
