This was our second year staying at Starboard Cottage. The million dollar views of the bay are why we love it so much. It is the perfect cottage for my sister and I on our trip up to Door!!

Great location! The sight and sound of the waves right outside the cottage was definitely the highlight of this stay. Clean and quaint cottage had all we needed to get by. The staff we spoke with were excellent! It was far enough out of town to be peaceful but close enough to be able to zip in for anything. If you're brining your pup, know that there are three dog parks on the peninsula where they can run free. Our Zula slept well!
Saw the Northern Lights during a snow squall a few miles before we reached the cottage on the first night.

One Year Anniversary!

We had a great time for our anniversary with the fireplace, lapping waves, and fresh air. The cabin was cozy, had plenty of room, and the amenities you need. We would definitely go again. It was a wonderful space.

What a view

Our cottage provided a breathtaking view of Green Bay and even included the sound of waves to lull us to sleep. Fall colors were at their peak and we loved the forest around the cottage.

Perfect location for a couples weekend away

Loved this property! From the dog-friendliness, to the bike access, and of course, sunsets over the lake. I definitely recommend for a weekend retreat of rest and relaxation. While, as noted, there is no WiFi, there is a smart tv with streaming available for entertainment. The location is just a short drive to anything you would want to see in Door county.

Beautiful site right on the Bay!

Nice small yard with fire pit right on the bay! Beautiful sunsets and good location! Beautiful state and county parks in the area! I imagine it’s a lot more populated in warmer months but we loved the peace and quiet! Cabin is small and cozy and very clean! It had everything we needed!

Beautiful view

Nice quiet location. Not too far of a drive from all door county towns. Especially liked that we had wifi service. Nice new tv. Galley kitchen and small bathroom but much nicer than a motel and the water front view and fire ring is the main attraction.

Cozy Cottage

Cozy cottage, perfect for a short friends getaway. The water is just a few feet away, and the sound of the waves lulled us to sleep at night. Awesome sunsets. Cottage is small but clean and well stocked, even with extras like hand sanitizer, hand soap, etc. and plenty of extra towels and toiletries. Enjoyed our short time here!!

Just what we needed

This little cottage was perfect for our stay. A place to eat and sleep with the bare necessities. The place was right on the bay so you could look out the back door and watch the water hit the rocks. The backyard is perfect to sit and hang out. It stormed a bit while we were there but the little place held up fine and we hunkered down safe and sound.

Cozy cottage - small but mighty

This cottage is cozy but has everything you need. It's small, but you won't miss the space. With expansive views of the bay and only steps to the water/ice, you will have a big experience regardless. We enjoyed our winter excursions - it's a short drive to a lot of what's going on in Door County.

Breathtaking views

This was such a cute little cottage. Perfect for our group of 4. Beds were comfortable. Everything was visually pleasing. Well stocked. Owner took the time to fill planters with spring flowers. Area was quiet and peaceful . Wasn’t too far from the town where there were lots of cute little shops and bars. And the sunset views were stunning!! Didn’t like how far out of the way we had to drive to check in but that was a minor detail. Would definitely stay again.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Location
Disliked: Check-in
The cabin was nice but much smaller than we expected. There wasn’t an indoor dining area, which wasn’t mentioned in the listing. The beds were probably the most uncomfortable beds we’ve encountered while at a VRBO. Because of the tight living area, no indoor dining area (which was challenging during the rain while we were there), and the uncomfortable beds, we chose to cut our stay short and leave a day early.

We own and operate a small hotel in Sturgeon Bay, WI. I was a school teacher and my husband a welding inspector but decided to try our hand at running a hotel. We started 30 years ago and have never looked back. We love it. It does get a bit cold in the winter.... haha
