We wanted a place that felt secluded and close to nature, but not far from the more bustling areas of Door County. This fit the bill exactly! Would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our time together. The house was very nice and owners left a thoughtful note for us! House was not in town but was in a nice location outside of town. Still close enough to be able to get items if needed.

Great location, the best part of the stay. It was a very quick walk to the lake and bay. The common areas were comfortable with nice couches, and the kids/teenager enjoyed the outside games.That said, we were disappointed with the property's policies and communication. We were required to purchase a mandatory 50 rental insurance policy, which is unique among all the rentals we’ve booked. This felt especially egregious after receiving a reprimanding email from the owner for accidentally leaving the non-weatherproof cornhole set out overnight an issue that should be covered by the required insurance or addressed by providing simple instructions. Furthermore, two of the three beds were old and uncomfortable and should be replaced.

Beautiful Sunsets

My family loved the rental and our time in Door County. The rental was very clean with comfy beds and plenty of room for the family. It was a short walk to the bay where we enjoyed the evening sunsets. Judy was a great host and made sure my family was comfortable. We will definitely stay here again.

Uncle Bob's cabin

Property was in an area of wooded, rural feeling. Lots of trees, saw deer and a bunny. Inside cabin was quirky, with addition built on. Spacious, but you must mind the steps inside. Only one shower, which also requires a step up. Very quiet area, walked the short distance to nearby bar and grill, which had a wonderful fish fry. We spent most of our time visiting museums, parks, and lighthouses, didn't cook. Was disappointed that previous guests didn't wash dishes well, so we had to wash everything before using.

Excellent Recovery Cottage for Fall 50

Great little cottage away from the hustle and bustle of Sturgeon Bay. Close enough the get to where we needed, yet far enough to decompress after the Door County Fall 50. Plenty of space for my family, quiet location, all of the needed amenities and then some. Could kick back, watch a movie, sip some coffee, and watch the deer walk across the backyard.

About the host

Hosted by Dick & Judy Laessig

Host profile image
This property has been in the family for many years. The original owner/builder was my parents, Gilbert & Marian Laessig.. My dad was a mason and thus, the red brick on the exterior. The house was purchased by my brother, Bob in the 80's, who then added on a large addition. Bob was an artist and musician. The hand carved kitchen cabinets and the hand painted pictures on the walls are samples of his artistic talent. Bob passed away in 2018, and now my wife and I own the house and have spent months remodeling the interior. My wife and I take great pride in doing all the interior and exterior maintenance and all the housekeeping ourselves, so there's no management company to deal with. You will feel the TLC throoughout this home.

Why they chose this property

Location is great...walking distance to boat launch, Sherwood Point Lighthouse, Sherwood Point Bar & Grill, and fantastic sunrises & sunsets. Only 2 miles from Idlewild 18 hole golf course and only 3 miles from Potawatomi State Park. Enjoy all the hustle & bustle of all the attractions in Door County and come back in the evening to the peace and quiet of the country. Also in 40 miles to Green Bay.

Cleanliness is our promise: All counter tops, door knobs, door/drawer handles, bathrooms, etc. are thoroughly sanitized after every guest. Bedding and linens are washed using an added laundry sanitizing agent. Visitors love watching all the wildlife. You will often see deer walking through the property.

What makes this property unique

No outside management firm is involved in the care and cleaning of Uncle Bob's house. Owners take great pride in the upkeep and cleanliness of Uncle Bob's House. If you have any issues or concerns, owners respond immediately with a resolution.
