Dog-Friendly Door County Cottage | Wooded 3 Acres + Screen Porch + Fire pit

Welcome to Three Little Birds cottage, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! This darling cottage is tucked away on three beautiful wooded acres on Bay Shore Drive. Enjoy this property all year long! You can enjoy the wood-burning fireplace and close proximity to Sturgeon Bay in the winter, watch for the lady slippers and baby deer to appear in the spring, relax on the huge front porch or back deck during the summer, and enjoy being surrounded by seasonal colors in the fall.

This home has recently been updated and is set up to spend time together and/or separately. Go explore all of Door County's treasures during the day and return home to your own private retreat at night.

We love our family pet dogs and welcome yours too. Your well-behaved dogs are allowed with prior approval. This property allows up to 2 dogs. There is a fee of $50 per dog/per night, which is collected separately and approximately one week prior to your check-in date.

Great stay!

Three Birds is a lovely house, very comfortable for our group of two adults and five teens. The house is well appointed with everything we needed and the space was really great for board games, movies and porch time plus good proximity to all Door County has to offer. Easy communication with the management team, too. Five stars all around!

This is a fantastic house. The three bedroom and two bath set up is great. We loved the wonderful seating in the living room, and the kitchen has every amenity. It is set back off the road which offers a ton of privacy. The host was very attentive, and we really enjoyed our stay!

We all had such a fun and relaxing time in your beautiful house. All the furnishings were very comfy. My oldest son did a lot of birding. Had an awesome thanksgiving meal. It was a great place to chill. Even the dogs were relaxed. Loved it and plan to return again.

Girls retirement getaway

Myself and 4 friends who have all retired within the last year decided to celebrate with a mini girls vacay.. the house was more beautiful then the pictures, extremely clean and comfortable. There was enough room for all 5 of us to have a own beds, we did not want to leave. The only thing i could recommend would be handles to get into shower. Was a wonderful time at your beautiful 3 little birds house.

Door County 1st timers.

Three Birds was exactly as shown in rental listings. A beautiful home tucked into the woods. So quiet and cozy. The newly screened in porch was a great bonus - although we never saw or heard a mosquito all week! We had 8 adults (4 couples) in our group. The only comment on sleeping arrangements was the the bed at the top of the stairs is not meant for anybody over 6’ tall. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans, coffee pot(s) etc. we had a great time checking out Door County!

Door County Vacation with Family

Check in was a problem since the door code we were given didn't work. With little to no cell service, we were only able to get management help because a member of our party was an IT person who figured out how to get a signal for a short time. The second night a plumbing problem occurred. Again, the lack of cell service made contacting management a real problem. Eventually, the issue was conveyed and a plumber arrived the next morning. He commented that modifications were made to the toilets, which he believed contributed to the problem. We noticed that in previous guests' comments, some also had plumbing problems. For our group, the sleeping arrangements weren't ideal. Other than that we had fun.

Great place

We stayed for 4 nights for a family wedding in Egg Harbor-6 adults and 2 dogs. Loved it. This is a very nice home, cute decor with a great layout. Variety of porches including a screened porch, and wonderful hammock. The lofted area bed nook was a big hit. Super clean. The house has everything you might need from kitchen items to blankets to indoor and outdoor games. It sits about a block from the lake. It’s about halfway between Sturgeon Bay and Egg Harbor. I wouldn’t recommend walking on the main road but there is a side road down by the lake which was good for walking our dogs. There was even a nice welcome gift on the kitchen counter which was really appreciated. The only downsides are : not the best water pressure in the showers, and little to no cell service and weak Wi-Fi….but I don’t think any of those issues are the fault of or fixable by the owners. It’s just the reality of the location. If someone HAS to be able to connect to internet/phone whether for work or whatever, it would be a problem. We adapted and actually enjoyed being disconnected. Thank you to Three Little Birds!
