Waterfront cottage 3bdrm


This cottage is on the water, overlooking beautiful Sturgeon Bay. Perfect place for fishing, kayaking, bonfires, biking... One block from Otumba Park's tennis, basketball, volleyball courts, playground, and a public beach. gorgeous walk to downtown Sturgeon Bay. The 3 bedrooms in the cottage hold a King, Queen, and a Full bed. Additional Queen and Full sized hide-a-beds are available so we can now accommodate up to 10 guests. Full kitchen dining room for dinner parties with lots of indoor/outdoor space for family cookouts, reunions, or weddings. Musical instruments, vinyl records, movies, games, and books can entertain if the weather keeps you indoors. 2000' waterfront sundeck and 5' fire ring. 84'' dock (June 15th until Sept 15),
I have built/rebuilt it with friends over the years with what I like to call "a hodgepodge collection of my emerging (and emergency) carpentry skills". My 12 year old son and I call Door County home year round and love to travel as much as possible during our guest stays. We hope that you will enjoy the cottage as much as we do. Guests of ALL AGES are ENCOURAGED to play the instruments in the music room. We love to hear it! In fact, feel free to use anything you find in and around the cabin: from tools, appliances, utensils, to the fire pit, and outdoor grills, or even the row boat or kayaks(at your own risk (during the day (and use life vests!))). We are not your typical waterfront rental.

Property is definitely not like the pictures. Whole house smelled like weed as soon as we walked in. Floors are all uneven, kids kept tripping. Outside is ruff, junk all over, patio furniture is rusty and dirty.

Very family friendly. The old games and musical instruments were a hit with my grandkids. The owner had the pullout beds made up and ready which was a plus. The only negative was 7 people in one bathroom but we were fully aware of that going in.

This cottage was an adequate size for the three people in my group. However, sharing one bathroom was a little difficult but we managed it by planning our schedule the night before our event. The cottage was clean and the beds were very comfortable. I felt relatively safe staying there. The owner was nice and friendly.

Terrible experience!

We ended up leaving and finding a hotel instead because the property was filthy to the point we did not feel comfortable staying there. And we paid over $500 for one night! I think the homeowner is a hoarder. There was trash and junk, including an old mattress, wheelchair and broken trampoline outside and inside the property was unclean and run down. We also had difficulty reaching the owner to get the code to get into the property so in the end it took up our entire day and ruined our weekend trip! I am very disappointed with my Vrbo experience and wonder if you vet the properties on your site.

Saturday Night on the Bay

A group of 60+ stayed for one night and loved sitting on the huge deck enjoying the music cascading across from the bay. The cottage is very comfortable for a group and we loved the music room. Michael was a great host! We all would stay there again.
