About this property

Quaint lakefront cottage by Cave Point-Whitefish Dunes State Park-Door County

PROMO FOR WEEKLY STAY OF 5% / MONTHLY STAY OF 10%
Door County is one of our family's favorite places to be together & explore. Our cleverly designed intimate cottage is close to 2 beautiful parks-Cave Point & Whitefish Dunes. They are a good long walk away or a short bike ride away. 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.
Biking is one of our favorite things to do in Door County--all 4 of the state parks have incredible spots to bike/hike & cross country ski in the winter.
It can be enjoyed in any season with a woodstove inside. Bring books & cross country skis in the winter & warm up by the woodstove or enjoy family time exploring one of the nearby parks or swimming in the Great Lake Michigan in the summertime.
Gather around the outdoor chiminea for s'mores in the evening & listen to the waves as you watch the stars come out.

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.

Although our location is close to numerous places and spots to explore, we think you can be perfectly content with our cheery cottage that offers beauty & activity--inside & out. The little loft area is perfect for a reader, writer or napper in your midst! There's a work table and lamp if you need a fresh work space.

Work or play...it's a true refuge for any weary heart or eager explorer!

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) Both cottages together: (6 bedrm/3bath: vrbo.com/4457576)

We loved how clean, cozy and quaint the cabin was, so many details to make our stay comfortable! We loved how quiet, peaceful and relaxing the cabin and yard were. Hearing the waves roll upon the rocks and the birds sing were truly music to our ears! The spot was so close to so many fun parks and beaches!

The cabin was just perfect for the two of us. It was clean, comfortable, and the air conditioning was great! The location was the best! It was a 10 second walk from the cottage to the lake and you could see the lake from the cottage and hear the sound of the waves. The breeze off the lake kept the mosquitoes at bay so we could sit in the chairs at the edge of the lake and be quite comfortable.

The Perfect Spot

The location was wonderful and not overly touristy but close to all the small towns on the Peninsula. The house was so creatively done and being right on Lake Michigan was such a treat. A perfect spot to unwind.

A great Door Co. get away

My teenage son & I had a wonderful time staying in this cozy cottage on Lake Michigan. We loved the quiet side, and the cottage was an excellent location for our adventures of hiking, swimming, and eating lobster rolls. We can't wait to make another visit and stay in this charming property again.

Wonderful Stay!

This precious cottage was a perfect stay for me and my mom. I highly recommend it and would stay here again! The view including the sunrises was amazing and we loved being so close to the water. This was our first time to Door County and probably won't be the last. It's a wonderful area and we enjoyed all the little towns and driving on the relaxing and calming backroads - great getaway from city life hustle and bustle! So glad we did this trip and didn't want to leave, a special place indeed!

We love this place!

Wow … this small cabin worked out great for our family of four. Right on the lake, with large windows facing the lake … everything you need in the kitchen … and while on the “quiet side” of Door County, it was a quick drive to the other side — where we traveled often to Fish Creek / Ephraim / Sister Bay. Can’t say enough good things about our stay here.

This cabin is exactly as advertised and more! The view is gorgeous, especially the sunrises. Cabin is incredibly clean, nicely decorated, and comfortable. We stay in lots of vacation homes and this one ranks in the top 3 for sure! Location is really nice if you want to explore all of Door County. Owners were super nice and attentive. We would totally stay here again, and probably will.

Twins' tale

My mother rented this property for us and we thoroughly enjoyed staying there. This was our first Vrbo stay in Wisconsin and everything went off without a hitch. I am her daughter and I would really like to come back again when the weather is warmer, but we still had a fantastic time. The thunderstorms which rolled in on our second night there were really something.

Adventures in Door Country

Cabin is absolutely lovely. Very cute and had everything you could possibly need. The view is even better in Person. We took this vacation to relax and work on designs for our next art show. The views were peaceful and the sunsets at near by marinas were amazing. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Becca

Host profile image
Our family loves the beautiful Wisconsin parks & often camped in Door County as our kids grew. We also love vintage cottage charm but wanted to provide conveniences of modern life with the feel of relaxing surroundings. 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!
