About this property

Sister Bay Cozy Cottage, Door County

Sister Bay Cottage

Cozy and comfortable cottage located on 1.5 acres just 1.8 miles from downtown Sister Bay. Truly, the pictures just don’t do this spot justice. This great cottage features 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, terrific modern kitchen with basically every appliance you could need, wrap around deck for relaxing and entertaining plus a deck with seating off master bedroom. It is tastefully decorated and furnished and supplied with everything from dishware to cookware to linens and towels to much, much more. The huge fire pit and seating provides a lovely spot to enjoy any mild evening. Cottage is located on a quiet street just off Highway 57 with lots of privacy and trees around the property. Sister Bay is ten minutes from Fish Creek, Ephraim, Ellison Bay and Baileys Harbor – so this cottage puts you right in the middle of everything that northern Door County has to offer. First floor consists of great room with dining area with seating for four, lovely kitchen and cozy living room with vaulted ceiling with fire view propane stove. There is also a first floor laundry area with full sized front loading washer and dryer and storage, main bedroom with queen sized bed, roomy storage and full bathroom. Stairs lead to the loft area with media area and leather seating, second bedroom with queen sized bed and second full bathroom. Cottage has central heating and air conditioning – so it is the perfect spot in any weather. Satellite TV and wifi/internet are provided in case you time to settle in for a bit! We are definitely dog friendly -- with advance agreement. We use Mosquito Squad to treat our 1.5 semi wooded acres to keep mosquitos and tick populations down. Huge firepit with seating. Wrap around deck with gas grill and dining table and chairs. Private deck with seating off main, first floor bedroom.

We will leave bulk sized bottles for your use of hand soap, shampoo and conditioner. We will wash those bottles prior to your arrival. We will leave extra cleaning supplies and sprays under kitchen and bathroom cabinets.

And, in order to provide us with greater time to clean your rentals, we have moved check out time to 10 am and check in time to 4 pm. You can always contact us to see if it might be possible to arrive sooner – but with discharge at 10 am and arrival delayed until 4 pm, we need to have sufficient time to provide you with the cleanest rental possible. Ourdoor furniture will be cleaned as well prior to your arrival. All of our grills are gas grills and we will be certain to leave a back up small gas tank if needed at that rental. Please bag all garbage and leave in the outdoor garbage cans. Lawn care is provided to us every week to two weeks. We are often not aware what date they will be coming – but please rest assured that they will be fast and will not interrupt your visit.

The house was outstanding. It was simple and very comfortable. The porch/deck were certainly highlights of this property. I was especially happy with the kitchen. Part of the yard is natural space, which was a huge plus for us. And, Sister Bay is sort of in the center of everything Door County. An awesome week.

Amazing stay!

Karen's cottage is absolutely beautiful. I have visited the Door County area several times and always stayed in Egg Harbor. This year I wanted to be close to Sister Bay and this is the PERFECT location. Only about a half mile from Sister Bay Bowl/the downtown area. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Door County Summer Retreat

The property was great. It was tucked into a small neighborhood just outside of the main strip of shops and restaurants, yet walking distance from a nice winery. We had access to the garage too, which was a great bonus. The kitchen was very well appointed. I truly appreciated the filtered water right inside the refrigerator door. The beds were very comfortable. There were 3 large smart TVs that allowed us to easily access our Apps. There was several great places outside in the deck around the home where we relaxed and took in the beauty of the surrounding property grounds. Our dogs enjoyed the yard and were very comfortable in the house. We were careful to cover the furniture, pick up after them, and kept them leashed when outside. We loved our stay and will definitely be back again next year.

Perfection!

My husband and I loved our stay at this cute, quaint, and adorable cottage. The cottage is nicely decorated and we felt comfortable right away. The location was everything we were hoping for. It is private, but close enough to everything. When we walked in it was very clean and smelled nice. The garage was a nice plus. We enjoyed the fire pit and the peace and quiet. We will be back for sure!

Christmas in Sister Bay

My son, dog and I stayed at the cottage for a couple of days over our holiday break. It was the perfect location. The cottage was pup friendly. Karen provided all the things we needed to make our vacation easy. Many of the restaurants were closed for the holiday, so we cooked most of our meals. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with all the utensils we needed. Highly recommended this cottage for any dog owners. We will definitely be back again.

Sisters Trip to Sister Bay

My sisters and I had a great time visiting Door County. The house was perfect for our needs. There were 3 of us and 2 dogs, and there was plenty of space. Just a few minutes from town, and rather centrally located to all the things we wanted to see. Beds were very comfortable, and you have everything you need in the house. We loved our stay. Thanks so much!

Cozy Cottage

We were very happy with the cottage we rented. Karen takes great pride in her properties and it shows with the cleanliness, darling furnishings and amenities. The bottle of wine she provided when we arrived was an unexpected treat. The location was perfect for quick trips into town and access to the countryside. Our dog loved the space, too. We will definitely return! Mary Ann, Joe and Hansel
