About this property

True waterfront, private, fishing, swimming, sleeps up to 12! Dog friendly!

True waterfront on acreage so you have lots of privacy! Great rates and perfect for large groups as it sleeps up to 12 in 5 bedrooms. 2 Baths, waterfront 3 season porch, fireplace, waterfront firepit, tennis court, private, huge fishing pier and harbour.

Some listings say they are are waterfront, but are across a street or parking lot. This is really waterfront. Imagine waking up to the sight and sound in of lapping water, birds and rustling trees right outside your windows. Grab your coffee and step outside the porch and 50 feet down to the water to watch the the ducks, geese, jumping fish and sailboats cruising in the distance. Grab your fishing pole and head to the private pier and harbor to test your skill. Or step across the driveway to play a few sets of tennis or pickleball on the private tennis court.
After a day exploring the property or Door County and grilling your dinner on the propane grill on the patio, sit around the waterside firepit (firewood provided) to enjoy a fabulous sunset and trade stories while making and eating smores.

The lawn slopes gently to the waterline where you can step right into the bay to swim, fish, or launch your own kayak. The large patio with gas grill and plenty of seating and tables overlooks the bay as well.

Bring up to 2 dogs, it is dog heaven with woods, shoreline and lots of space indoors and out. .

This beautiful cottage is part is part of a large, family owned compound for over 100 years with extensive acreage, lots of history and privacy. A classic Door County 'cottage' (if 5 large bedrooms can be called a cottage) you will enjoy hundreds of feet of walk into the water private waterfront (with more waterfront at the private pier/harbor) . Not a condo, motel in sight (or sound).

Play tennis or pickleball on the tennis court (or let the kids blow off steam and ride their trikes or play dodgeball on it - safe from traffic). The large, private pier provides fishing and stargazing opportunities.

Inside - Central A/C, wifi and smart TV are provided. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, flatware, cookware and electrics including pot and single serve coffee makers, crockpot, griddle, mixer. We also provide a water cooler with bottled water.

This cottage sleeps up to 12 in real beds in real bedrooms. There are no pullouts or inflatables here so everyone will get a good nights rest and be ready for the next day's adventures. If you are no fan of staircase there are 3 light filled bedrooms (1 king, 2 queens) and a bathroom downstairs, and upstairs there are 2 large bedrooms (3 twins each) with a TV /gaming/reading nook and a bathroom, perfect for a retreat.
A nice sized living/dining room with a gorgeous fireplace and a kitchen are on the first floor, as well as that waterfront 3 season porch.
There is plenty of parking available adjacent to the house as well as parking for a boat/trailer if needed.

The Annex is up to 2 well mannered dog friendly. Your "water' dogs will be so happy here!

Great location a few minutes from the boat launch at Frank Murphy County Park, historic Horseshoe Bay Farms, downtown Egg Harbor, farm stands, wineries, art galleries, boutiques, golf, mini-golf, hiking, biking and dining options ranging from casual to full out splurges.

We offer direct booking and if interested contact Linda at cherryannexcottages@gmail.com or 608-438-4243 to enquire .

If you require dates that don't quite fit the VRBO calendar availability please contact Linda, sometimes we can make date accommodations, sometimes the VRBO calendar is messed up.
Although Annex sleeps up to 12, our direct book rates are reasonable so why not have lots of room, privacy and waterfront instead of condo and nosy neighbors?


If you require even more rooms, our other waterfront property, Cherry Lodge is just a short, private path stroll away.

Both The Annex and Cherry Lodge have 10+ years of happy, satisfied guests. (many of whom book their next season's getaway before checking out) Please contact Linda at 608-438-4243 or cherryannexcottages@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Fun girls weekend

5 55+ ladies each had our own room! Nice house. Not super fancy but nice living room and bedrooms. Bigger and better than a cabin. Beautiful view and sunsets. Right in the water. Too cold and rainy for us to use the fire pit but it looked great. Close to egg harbor for food and such. Rob has great recos in his welcome letter. Make sure to make reservations for supper club! And perch fish fry in sister bay. Would love to come back in the summer!! Would recommend!

Fabulous sunsets

Incredible sunsets. We had never stayed on the water bayside. It will hard not to now. House had beds in bedrooms for 12. Also enough room to eat inside for 12 and outside for 12. We had up-to 8 people stay and 10 eat while staying and never felt crowded. Outdoor furniture was better than online pictures.

Great location right on the bay. House is as advertised. Not a glamourous stay, but functional and well away from crowded areas of Door County.

Awesome Annex

We were 9 adults and 2 children under 2 years. We had plenty of room for indoor activity and also enjoyed the firepit each night. Each evening, we experienced great sunsets on the Bay. Our daughter also did an outdoor baby reveal (It's a GIRL!!) This waterfront location is secluded but has great access to all that Door County has to offer.

About the host

Why they chose this property

The Annex is part of a larger, over a century old, family owned summer retreat. Particular care has been taken to modernize it, yet keep a real Door County feel to it. Located on a private road, you won't experience traffic zipping by, yet you are just minutes from many Door County activities.

What makes this property unique

Waterfront privacy and spacious, this property is a far cry from cookie cutter condos and investor owned rental homes. Sleeping up to 12 in real beds, in real bedrooms at a per person nightly rate far less than motel rooms, this is the perfect base for exploring Door County, or hanging out and relaxing. A quick 4 lane drive from Green Bay to Sturgeon Bay and then just another 15 - 20 minutes gets you to this classic getaway.
