Your own small pier is directly in front of your own private retreat. First floor one bedroom/one bathroom with steps to a loft that has another sleeping area. There is outdoor sitting and viewing space both by the house and down on the pier. Boat tie ups on the pier for docking your day fishing/recreational boat (no overnight docking available). The cottage has a well equipped kitchen (refridgerator, range, toaster oven, coffee maker, electric skillet and full size webber grill) and all the amenities for a quick vacation away from life (towels, beach towels, beach chairs, cooler, linens, paper products and soaps/shampoo). Pelicans fly in over the bay, fishing off the dock is best on the bay for bass, views cannot be beat.

Ellison Bay with restaurants, coffee shops and a well-stocked "Pioneer Store" is a short two miles away. Come enjoy one of the most beautiful bays in Door County!

Cute little place with a great view, within a short drive of some awesome hiking trails. A fun experience for us and the pup. Would definitely recommend!

Peaceful setting with a great view

We enjoyed the waterfront and peaceful location. The host was helpful, accommodating and very available. We had dogs with us and they were quite comfortable, too! We had a nice time!

It isn't all about the beautiful view.

Let me start this review by stating that we have stayed at a few rentals in Door County and elsewhere over the years so we are not new to this. Based on the location,amenities, reviews and pictures we (4 adults) rented this cottage for 3 nights. Temps were in mid-80's when we arrived late afternoon, unfortunately the cottage was stuffy and like a sauna. We found the "a/c" standing unit upstairs in loft area and turned it on. Found a standing tower fan in lower bedroom, turned it on, closing all windows. Went out to eat with the hopes that it would be much cooler when we got back at 10:30/11:00pm. Not the case. Too hot for sleeping in the loft area so young couple slept on a broken futon in living room. Texted Jen in the morning after we found out the "a/c" wasn't even vented to the outside! Why was the exhaust hose duct taped to the wall??? The bathroom is a whole other issue. Yes, a pump issue was mentioned in reviews but we had no idea that it would have to be used frequently when showering. Very inconvenient. As mentioned in reviews the place is cute but needs some cleaning touch ups.This is a beautiful spot, the view is as you would want on the water in Door but the view isn't everything. We've never left a bad review but it was such a disappointment regarding our comfort level that we felt it had to be stated.

I've enjoyed Garrett Bay all my life (I grew up three houses down from the Garrett Bay Rest). Thankful to have this property in one of my favorite places on earth to share with my family and others. It is one of the most beautiful places I know.
