Waterfront Log Cabin | Sunset Views, Fire Pit, Screened Porch
Welcome to Thenell's Cottage, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! This rustic log cabin is conveniently located between Sturgeon Bay and Egg Harbor, just steps away from the bay. Gorgeous views await you in this cottage that sleeps 4. Enjoy the sunset views over the bay from the main room or the screened-in front porch. You will have panoramic views of Potawatomi State Park and the Sherwood Point Lighthouse. You can hear the waves lapping the shore as you cozy up around the fire pit, or you can choose the wood-burning fireplace inside for those chilly evenings. There is plenty of space for the kids to run and play outdoors. There is a bar and grill restaurant within walking distance of the cottage. Enjoy a tranquil getaway just minutes from the many attractions Door County has to offer!
Set behind the home, youlll find Thenel's Beach House--a great rental option for additional space to
sleep up to 6. Adding modern amenities and a spacious, updated living space, the Beach House
provides an ideal setting for family group gatherings when renting both homes.
