We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage with our two kids! The location couldn’t be better — just a short walk to downtown Sister Bay for breakfast, shopping, and the beach. The cottage was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed (and even things we didn’t realize we’d want!) — from beach towels to marshmallow sticks for evening s’mores. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and the host’s communication was excellent. This was the perfect spot for an October weekend, and we’re already planning to return!

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin! It was very cute and very clean. It is very updated inside with a modern full kitchen. The street is very quiet and it was a short walk to downtown for restaurants, shopping and sunset viewing. The property owner was very quick to respond to any questions that I had. We will definitely consider staying here again on future visits.

First stay in Sister Bay

We loved the property! It was just a couple blocks off of the downtown strip and the water, but very quiet and had a real cottage feel with great updates. Really the best of both worlds because it was close to everything, but the little backyard was private and had a woodsy feel but close to lots of great places.

For me this stay it was perfect location - choice of spots to watch the game, eat and meet friends for cherry drop (look it up), all 5 minutes walking at most. The cottage was cleaned professionally, well outfitted and kept up.

About the host

Hosted by Matthew Johnson

Host profile image
Born and raised in Sister Bay, I moved out to Minneapolis for college at the University of Minnesota. Upon graduation, I found a home and stayed in the Twin Cities. I enjoy outdoor activities like boating, snowboarding, and traveling with my family!

Why they chose this property

This home was build almost 50 years ago for my Great Grandma and has since been rented out by my grandparents in the summer to families and summer visitors. When the opportunity to own our little piece of Door County arose, we were so excited. We love vising family in the summer and enjoying all the parks, beaches, and wonderful things to do in Sister Bay.

What makes this property unique

Private fire pit and bike or walk to downtown Sister Bay. Nestled not far off the main road, it offers a peaceful setting in nature with the excellent access to the amenities of downtown. Enjoy shopping, restaurants, beer gardens, and plenty of night life!
