About this property

Oostburg, WI, house on Lake Michigan

This rustic and charming 3 bedroom cottage has been in our family for over 100 years. It can sleep 7 adults plus we have 2 cots that can be pulled out for kids. The cottage is nestled in the woods on the shore of Lake Michigan near Oostburg, Wisconsin. Our wonderful Sweetbriar creek is out our back door with beautiful Lake Michigan out the front door.
This cottage is a joy to be at during the warmer months of spring and summer, But is also is a cozy peaceful place to get away from the hustle and bustle of our increasingly hectic modern world in the early and late fall months.

(IMPORTANT information... Please bare with us as the beach is constantly changing in size and in the last 3 years the Lake levels have been relatively high.
Luckily the sand is coming back and filling in.

* Update April 2024 there is beach for walking and swimming, playing. The beach is coming back and we had some of our stone waterbreak filled in with sand to construct more beach. Inside our cottage there is ample room for cooking, baking, and dining together. There are games, tables, nooks for reading, a wood burning fireplace in the living room and a sunny sitting room facing the lake. Also we offer wireless internet and an HD flat screen TV. for local channels and for your streaming plus a cottage phone line.
The deck looks out over the lake and In the morning our sunbathed deck provides a wonderful place to sit, read, visit and sip morning coffee. (We provide a table umbrella and sand Beach umbrellas. (also available beach towels and some hats. This deck becomes shaded in the mid afternoon as the sun drops behind the White Pines providing relief from the late afternoon heat.

As evening comes on, building an outdoor fire, enjoying dinner around the fire ring or on the deck provide a fitting finale to the day.

Particular activities for this natural area include taking a beach walk or a bike ride in the wooded one lane shaded road that parallels the meandering creek. You can admire the natural boreal forest with its Canadian Hemlock, Sugar Maples, Beech trees, and native ferns.

Well behaved dogs are always welcome.

Close by are an abundance of activities including- the Kohler art museum, state parks, bike paths and quaint little towns.

For more places to visit, walk, and swim at a Beach you can take a quick drive north to Kohler Andrea State Park (North)Beach. It is a 5 minute drive ! Approximately 4 miles away. Very fun to walk, collect beach stones and drift wood, picnic and swim, dogs are allowed in certain places on a leash. There is also a visitor center for kids and Adults to enjoy. Entry is 3.00 / day pass. ( It is a State Park so fees apply but if you already have a yearly sticker you are all set. (and if you choose, there is plenty of room at the park to social distance and to enjoy the beach safely.) You might also look into Amsterdam State Park or Sheboygan City Beach.
Sheboygan also has a wonderful Library and Children's museum to visit. )

We hope that you enjoy your time at our cottage as much as we do.

Thank you and We hope that you will stay with us. Thank you for looking.

Quiet and peaceful
The cottage was perfect for much needed solitude and long walks with my dog. Kitchen has everything you’ll need and the sunroom is the best part of the cottage-the beach is great, too.

Charming old cabin right on the lake
We love the Oostburg-Cedar Grove lakefront area and come here often. Overall, we had a lovely weekend on the lake. The house is right on the water with a nice sandy beach (not rocky), and even when inside the house it feels like the water is right there. There is a room where you can hang out inside and still enjoy the beach because it’s so close to the water. There’s also a great selection of board games and a nice fire pit area where we had lovely lakeside bonfires every night. The house is a charming old cabin with lots of character. However, the character comes with a few things that are less than luxurious. The mattresses are uncomfortable. The shower’s weak water pressure made showers take 2-3x as long as normal. There was a dangerous hole in the deck area that one of us fell into but luckily wasn’t injured. (We then covered the hole with rocks.) Overall, however, we enjoyed our stay and would return.

Lovely location, charming cottage
We enjoyed are weekend stay at the cottage, especially sitting on the deck watching the waves, boats and sky. We could see the Milky Way one night and we watched a lightning storm cell make it’s way across Lake Michigan another night which was amazing! The beds were very firm which my spouse enjoyed more than I did. The cottage is charming, quiet (except for sound of the waves!) and very close to the water. It feels like you are visiting a place that one family has loved for decades, rather than a cookie cutter VRBO listing. The drive to Sheboygan is quick which was nice.
