About this property

PROMO FOR WEEKLY STAY OF 5% / MONTHLY STAY OF 10%
Door County is one of our family's favorite spots--it never disappoints. Whether you like hiking, swimming or theatre & shopping--there is something for everyone in the area. Nestled directly on Lake Michigan our spot is close to Cave Point County Park & Whitefish Dunes State Park, which has a beach wheelchair to use on their trails when you want a bit of dune trail adventure.
Jacksonport is a couple miles north of the cottage & can be a fun place to enjoy a cup of coffee, watch the sunrise at the park or take a kayak tour of the lakeshore.

We designed our cottage with families, like ours, in mind. Our youngest, often in a wheelchair, needs some accommodations & so we designed it with a wheelchair/walker friendly bathroom, shower & bedroom. All doorways, halls and entrances are zero entry for ease of moving around the downstairs. And the main features (fireplaces, tv, dining) are on the first floor thoughtfully designed for togetherness. Gather around the outdoor chiminea for s'mores in the evening & listen to the waves as you watch the stars come out, all accessible with a wide sidewalk for wheelchair/walker users to join in the gathering.

We are proud and thankful to have the best professional cleaning service prepare our cottage in between stays as that is an important piece of hosting to us.

The upstairs has a fun catwalk leading to an upper deck facing Lake Michigan and the upstairs also has 2 bedrooms- one with a desk for those who may need a fresh work space in a beautiful spot.
Our cottage can be enjoyed in any season with fireplaces inside and on the cozy porch. Bring books & cross country skis in the winter & warm up by one of the two fireplaces or enjoy family time exploring one of the nearby parks or swimming in the Great Lake Michigan in the summer.

Although our location is close to numerous places and spots to explore, we think you can be perfectly content with our cheerful cottage refuge that offers beauty & activity--inside & out.

Please note: One address, two cottages- both have their own private waterfront beaches and private yards with outdoor chimineas. Blue cottage (4 bedrm/2 bath: vrbo.com/2716912) & Red cottage (2 bedrm/1 bath: vrbo.com/2717178)

Fantastic Lake Michigan Rental

We had a wonderful time at the lake house. Everything was as stated and seen in the listing. We especially enjoyed spending our time on the porch or by the lake listening to the waves crash on the rocks. The beds were very comfortable, everything was clean and tidy, and we only wished we could have stayed longer.

About the host

Hosted by Becca

Our family loves the beautiful Wisconsin parks & often camped in Door County as our kids grew. We also loved vintage cottage charm. Although older constructed cottages provide quaint charm they aren't accessible in design. So, building this esp. with our family's needs in mind, we wanted to share our wheelchair accessible with others to enjoy beautiful views, make memories & spend time with loved ones in all seasons--of the year & in life. Our fireplace has stones from significant places of both our families' histories-Stan's family farm north of Madison, WI & Becca's family cottage on St. Joe Island, Ontario. The flag over the galley kitchen is from the Cliff's Victory's captain, through his friendship with Becca's dad. We love the freighters' history found in Door County & love that the flag connects us to those Great Lake Ships. We have found great refreshment in the summer swimming & many activities in each surrounding communities & we've also found refueling of our souls in the snowfall with a fire going & good books to read. Our hope is that this spot can provide others with the gift of togetherness, memories, adventures & blessings so hearts return home full.

Why they chose this property

We love the hustle of all the shops & artists on the Bay side of Door County but, are most refreshed by the 'quiet side' on Lake Michigan--known for the quiet water activity that we enjoy most--kayaking, swimming, paddleboarding & reading by the waterside.

So to be on Lake Michigan is a stunning gift! One we want to share! The location is optimal for staying in and enjoying activities & togetherness but, also close to beautiful parks, great restaurants, horse back riding & lighthouse exploring! We consider ourselves very blessed to be in our beautiful spot & share it with joy!
