About this property
Tranquil Cottage in the Woods with Lake Michigan only 300 feet away.
Minutes east of I-43 nestled in beautiful wooded acreage with a short walk to the shores of Lake Michigan. This cottage is on a private drive and a great panoramic view. The only neighbors that are close by are the owners of this cottage which gives this a great appeal for those who value service. Enjoy the sights and sounds of Lake Michigan with a tranquil walk down our lane. We are 12 minutes from Sheboygan where the famous Blue Harbor Resort is located along with several unique restaurants and specialty shops along the Sheboygan River. Sheboygan County has several opportunities for golf enthusiasts including The Bull at Pinehurst Farms, Riverdale Country Club, Blackwolf Run and Whistling Straits. Ryder Cup is at Whistling Straits just 20 minutes away from the tournament. For fishing enthusiasts Sheboygan offers Dumper Dan’s Charters where you can take a ride on Lake Michigan for some exciting fishing. Racing enthusiasts? Just a short drive away you can enjoy weekend races at Road America in Elkhart Lake. For those who like to shop we have several local towns that not only have antiques and boutiques but also several good local restaurateurs and wedding venues.

About the host
Hosted by Amy Sue DeVrou
My husband, Wayne, and I moved here in 2004 with our four children. He is a local Pastor at Grace Bible Fellowship in Oostburg. Our roots come from Southwest Michigan in a small town called Jenison. Our kids are all grown up, married with children and now was the perfect time for us to invest in a place where we can share our hospitality and love for people.
Sandalwood, is on the south side of our adjoining properties. We always had hopes to one day own and renovate it for the purpose of turning it into a place where guests can rest, relax and unwind. With that in mind we have designed the property for our guests to immerse in the natural setting that Sandalwood has to offer.

With that in mind we have designed the property for our guests to immerse in the natural setting that Sandalwood has to offer.
Why they chose this property
This cottage is on a private drive 300ft from Lake Michigan. Wildlife is abundant in any given season. Wooded lot. Most neighbors are seasonal. No neighbors to the south and we are to the north separated by the woods. The sounds of nature make this an attractive place to visit. From the winds to the waves to the chirping birds to the hooting of owls. Sandalwood is a place like no other.
What makes this property unique
Owners live north of the property. We are close to the City of Sheboygan , Kohler, Milwaukee and and hour away from Green Bay to catch a momentous NFL game at historical Lambeau Field. All of these cities have attractions to many to count.
Sandalwoods Lake Access Points:
The lake level has progressively gone down since 2019 and we are seeing signs of beach recovery. The access points below have minimal beach to sit and enjoy the view, but you will be able to walk on the beach from the North access point which will take you all the way to Kohler Andrae State Park if you are feeling ambitious. You can certainly swim in the lake from our access points:
Going South on Cardinal Lane: Once you see a paved cross street called Foster Rd, it will be at the end of that road, which dead ends to the lake. If you take your car down by the access, parking is permissible on the North side of the road, facing West.
Going North on Cardinal Lane: Once you see a paved cross street called Townline Rd, it will be at the end of that road, which dead ends to the lake. This access, on a calm day, walking North, will lead you to Kohler Andrae State Park.
As an alternative, I would recommend Kohler Andrae State Park as an option for your beach experience. It is about a 5-minute drive from Sandalwood. There are available brochures about the park in the magazine rack by the dining table.
This information is subject to change as the lake water level goes down.
