Great location, beautiful views, not for swimming though

We had a great time as a location for a extended family vacation. Sunsets were superb! Bummed the swimming was not possible at the location but kayak and SUP was great!

Thanks Stephanie for the review. Sorry to hear that your group didn't take the opportunity to swim at the Chalet. We are definitely not in charge of Mother Nature but most of our guests love the convenience of an easy in and out right from their own private pier. Glad you enjoyed the kayaks and SUP. Sure wish you would have been more communicating and tidy, you left behind quite a mess at our Chalet. I heard you were also pretty rude to our cleaning help...Big Bummer! The three of us work really hard for our 5 star review and feel a bit underappreciated and taken advantage of by you and your family. Best with other future rentals. Jennie & Brian and Nichole

Perfect Getaway!

Updated, clean, and comfortable house right on the water

We had a wonderful stay in this house. We had great access to the water and were able to swim right off the doc with our large dog. The kitchen and grill had plenty of room and supplies for us to cook our meals. The yard and patio were great for relaxing and eating meals with a view of the water. We had a wonderful stay! Thank you Jennie and Brian!

First time Door County-ers

Loved the location. Right on the water at the end of dead end. Dogs could roam freely and enjoy the water at their will. Easy access to the downtown of Sturgeon Bay. Easy day trips to anywhere in Door County. Very clean and well kept home.

This property is amazing! The house was perfect for our family of six. Jennifer and Brian have provided everything down to the smallest detail.

Great Door County Family Vacation

After 32 years, my husband and I returned to Door County with my son's family for a week of family fun. The Chalet on the Shore was the perfect home for all of us. With young children from 1-8, there were activities available for all, from playing yard games to fishing off the dock and kayaking. Our hosts could not have been more accommodating and we look forward to making this a new annual family tradition.

Charming lakefront home with plenty of amenities

This cozy bay front home made our first trip to Door County truly memorable. We appreciated the many thoughtful items offered at the house that made it comfortable. Our family enjoyed sunset picnics overlooking the water, leisure bike rides on country roads, napping on the hammock, fishing, boating, kayaking and more. There really was something for everyone and we couldn’t have asked for a better summer getaway experience.

Our little secret...

This place is amazing, but I’d kinda like to keep it a secret ;) So cozy, clean and very well kept. The owners thought of everything! No need to travel further north as we prefer a somewhat rustic less commercialized area yet near everything we need from groceries to a quaint downtown to sandy beaches and boat rentals. It was perfect for our family and we intend to return.

Cozy and charming chalet

This sweet chalet by the water provided a relaxing getaway while being convenient to Door County for day drives. The stay provided all the amenities one would wish for, from a cozy fireplace indoors to kayaks and bikes and a hammock. We enjoyed fishing off the dock with the poles provided. Everything was sparkling clean and the owners were responsive and engaged. There are so many places to hike/walk just a stone's throw away. We would most definitely love to come back!
