About this property

Sister Bay Log Cabin - Recent Remodel!

We invite you to stay in our lovingly restored vintage Door County cottage. Historic, fresh and charming describes this remodeled log cabin built by a Norwegian immigrant in 1938.

This home is ideally located along the desirable Bay Shore Drive in Sister Bay! A short 5 minute walk into town allows you to take advantage of the park, marina, beach, boutiques, restaurants, ice cream / coffee shops and more, then retreat to the private quiet cabin to sit, relax and unwind. Additionally, we are centrally located in the county making visits to Gills Rock, Ellison Bay, Fish Creek, Ephraim, Egg Harbor and Bailey's Harbor all within a short drive (5-20 min).

This lovely 2 bedroom, 1 bath, full kitchen, cottage provides everything you'll need for a pleasant and relaxing stay. First floor: bedroom, open family / dining room, bathroom and kitchen. Upstairs: spacious bunkroom.

A large wrap around deck and front yard is a relaxing place to gather with family and friends...enjoy your morning coffee watching the people of Sister Bay pass by, grill / dine on the back deck, sip an evening cocktail watching the sun set over the bay, then end your day with a bonfire, smores and a little star gazing.

We host guests year round and ensure your comfort with a whole house furnace and central air conditioning. Please come soak up all four seasons in Sister Bay. We hope to see you soon.

Note: For safety and security purposes, one outdoor camera is located on the property. It is mounted and clearly visible on the rear exterior of the cabin. It monitors activity in the parking area.

IMPORTANT:
* We are PET FRIENDLY for approved dogs with a reservation.
* Max Occupancy is 5 people / 2 cars per our permit with the village of Sister Bay.
* We extend a warm welcome to all guests in our home. Please do not attempt to violate the basic house rules related to: occupancy, pets, smoking or parties etc. and put us all in an uncomfortable position.

Cozy, remodeled historical cabin with all needed amenities & extras (e.g., ample parking, firepit, wrap around porch w/ chairs in front for relaxing/reading & dining table & grill in back, wifi). Stayed for 4 nights. Daughters loved bunk bed suite upstairs. Small dog friendly! Check in was easy and host was quick to respond to questions. Excellent location with 5 minute walk down same street to beautiful water viewing, shops and places to eat. Highly recommend.

Great stay in Sister Bay

We loved this cozy cabin. Everything was as pictured, super clean, and walkable to downtown Sister Bay. We had everything we needed. We didn’t have our kids with us this stay, but the upstairs in this cabin would be great for kids as well. This is such a great Door County location! We highly recommend!

Michelle was an excellent host! The day before our scheduled trip, Door County experienced sever storms and had many places with power and internet outages, she reassured us on the state of the property and how to get around road blocks to get there safely. This 1938 log cabin is beautifully restored and updated and we had a comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed the details of the history of the home which made this cabin even more special in our hearts. Although it is a compact space, the areas are well designed to utilize the home well and the kitchen as stocked with necessary items for those who like to cook their meals vs dine out!Thanks for such a wonderful place to relax!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle (A Door Away, LLC)

Host profile image
Our family has enjoyed vacationing and living in Door County for decades. In the winter of 2020 my husband, my son and I fell in love with and purchased this cozy little log cabin in Sister Bay in the hopes of sharing the Door County experience with other families. Over the next 4 months, we worked to remodel and update the home, keeping as much of the historic charm as possible. In June 2020, we began welcoming guests and it's been a pleasure hosting so many wonderful people and helping them create their own Door County vacation memories.
