About this property
New cottage with pool and walkable to downtown/beach
Thanks for checking out our vacation home! Built in 2020, Fort North is located at the end of a dead end street in a quiet and quaint neighborhood. The house is walkable to everything- 3 blocks from Main Street downtown, 6 blocks from beach. It overlooks the Galien River Marsh with spectacular views from the balcony. Relax on the sprawling front porch and enjoy the sunset over the marsh or choose to eat dinner on the back patio. We are located just minutes away from restaurants like The Stray Dog and Caseys as well as the grocery store, quaint downtown shops, and the public beach. Our favorite is enjoying strawberry ice cream at Nancy's after a late afternoon walk. Just steps away, you can spend the day chilling at the private heated association pool. Close to the local casino, wineries, and breweries, the house is designed for large groups and the neighborhood is family friendly. The kitchen/dining area has seating for 12 and in includes a stocked kitchen with a gas stove and custom cabinets. The living room features a gas fireplace, perfect for curling up with a book. There is an additional living space with bar, table, and beverage fridge in the basement. You will love the peaceful, relaxing vibe our house has!

We had a wonderful stay. The host was communicative, the property was clean, it was a great proximity to town, and provided ample sleeping arrangements for our group. We will be recommending this spot to others and hope to be back!
The property was adorable, and perfect for a large group. It was within walking distance of everything, super clean, and the space was extremely well thought out. The host was kind and proactive. Make sure to bring your own paper towels, but otherwise everything was provided.
Overall a really nice cottage with a lot to offer for a fun family getaway! We loved the ability to walk downtown and the lower level was great for family game night.
Fabulous family trip to gather and celebrate Thanksgiving. The accommodations were perfect. The walk into town and to the lake was easy for the kids. The local market had everything we needed. The host was responsive to all inquiries. We hope to be back next year.
This cottage was well equipped with everything you'll need for your vacation. Beautiful cottage and wonderful location. Will definitely stay here again.
Home is even better than the pictures. We loved our time there. The house was adequately supplied and furnished and clean. We would absolutely stay here again.
We've stayed at a couple of the Merchant Street Cottages and we absolutely loved our stay here. Plenty of space inside and out, fantastic porch and tons of beach toys, games, etc. Honestly had everything we needed. We just booked again for next year and would love to do the same from here on out.
Great beach house just over half a mile walk from a lovely public beach. House is well maintained. We were there during the week in the summer and the beach wasn’t overcrowded. The water was clear and the beach was reasonably free of litter.
3rd year in a row we've stayed here and it never disappoints! Looking forward to staying here again next year
