About this property

Sister Bay Cozy Cottage, Door County

Sister Bay Cottage

Cozy and comfortable cottage located on 1.5 acres just 1.8 miles from downtown Sister Bay. Truly, the pictures just don’t do this spot justice. This great cottage features 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, terrific modern kitchen with basically every appliance you could need, wrap around deck for relaxing and entertaining plus a deck with seating off master bedroom. It is tastefully decorated and furnished and supplied with everything from dishware to cookware to linens and towels to much, much more. The huge fire pit and seating provides a lovely spot to enjoy any mild evening. Cottage is located on a quiet street just off Highway 57 with lots of privacy and trees around the property. Sister Bay is ten minutes from Fish Creek, Ephraim, Ellison Bay and Baileys Harbor – so this cottage puts you right in the middle of everything that northern Door County has to offer. First floor consists of great room with dining area with seating for four, lovely kitchen and cozy living room with vaulted ceiling with fire view propane stove. There is also a first floor laundry area with full sized front loading washer and dryer and storage, main bedroom with queen sized bed, roomy storage and full bathroom. Stairs lead to the loft area with media area and leather seating, second bedroom with queen sized bed and second full bathroom. Cottage has central heating and air conditioning – so it is the perfect spot in any weather. Satellite TV and wifi/internet are provided in case you time to settle in for a bit! We are definitely dog friendly -- with advance agreement. We use Mosquito Squad to treat our 1.5 semi wooded acres to keep mosquitos and tick populations down. Huge firepit with seating. Wrap around deck with gas grill and dining table and chairs. Private deck with seating off main, first floor bedroom.

We will leave bulk sized bottles for your use of hand soap, shampoo and conditioner. We will wash those bottles prior to your arrival. We will leave extra cleaning supplies and sprays under kitchen and bathroom cabinets.

And, in order to provide us with greater time to clean your rentals, we have moved check out time to 10 am and check in time to 4 pm. You can always contact us to see if it might be possible to arrive sooner – but with discharge at 10 am and arrival delayed until 4 pm, we need to have sufficient time to provide you with the cleanest rental possible. Ourdoor furniture will be cleaned as well prior to your arrival. All of our grills are gas grills and we will be certain to leave a back up small gas tank if needed at that rental. Please bag all garbage and leave in the outdoor garbage cans. Lawn care is provided to us every week to two weeks. We are often not aware what date they will be coming – but please rest assured that they will be fast and will not interrupt your visit.

Wedding Weekend
We were there for a wedding and this location couldn't have been any better. We were so close to the main drag of shops and restaurant as well as all the wedding events. The house was great for our family including our infant and doggo! Clean and cozy!

Sister Bay Cottage 2024
We were very impressed with the communication with Karen. She went out of her way to make us comfortable. Even contacted us during a storm to let us know what to do in case of power outage. Her cottage is very clean and well equipped! Never have we stayed somewhere with so much thought gone into the property and the people who stay there. Great location, quiet neighborhood, use of garage is a huge plus! Highly recommend this property. Karen is great to work with, she will make sure that you are taken care of. You will not want to leave.

Sister Bay Cottage
Wonderful Gem! My daughter and I stayed for our annual May getaway and we’re so happy we chose this place! The host was so helpful and the amenities were perfect. We enjoyed the deck, and loved having a washer/dryer, along with a fully functional kitchen. I would highly recommend this little piece of paradise in Sister Bay which is conveniently located to all Door County has to offer-parks, shopping, dining. A bonus- being able to bring our 4 legged family member.

Comfortable, Cozy Cottage
The Cottage was just as described. It was clean, comfortable, in a great location, was quiet and had everything we needed to make for a wonderful stay! The Owner was very responsive, when we had to shorten our stay by one day, and was great to work with! Sister Bay turned out to be a good location when visiting other parts of Door County! We definitely plan to book this Cottage another time! It made for a very Relaxing Girls Getaway!

Very clean and quiet
We stayed in the cottage for a long weekend in May. We were able to bring our dog with us and the owner makes the place very dog-friendly! Although there is wonderful outdoor spaces on multiple patios and a firepit, it was a bit too cold for us to enjoy those spaces. The neighborhood is very quiet and we slept with our window open every night. It is also so close to all the other towns in Door County that we like to frequent - Egg Harbor, Fish Creek, and Bailey's Harbor. The owner gave us info on grocery stores, etc. close by in case we needed supplies. Really great place to stay!

Great spot in Sister Bay
We had a lovely stay at Sister Bay Cottage over the Thanksgiving Weekend. The cottage was beautiful with every available convenience. Our host, Karen, was so responsive. The only minor thing I would mention as something to be aware of is the bed in the downstairs bedroom is quite high off the floor. There is a small step stool to assist if you would need it, but it could be a bit of an issue if your mobility was not great. Very minor issue for us, though. Again, we had a wonderful stay and will be returning to this property in July for another stay.

This cottage was so comfortable for our family group of 3. It is well appointed & super clean. We enjoyed hiking and biking, some long walks and wonderful meals out. Truly a great get away from our city life. Karen was promptly helpful when l texted her with a garage door issue - Excellent hosts.

Short stay
Came to Door County for a friend’s wedding. Stayed at this lovely home for 3 nights. Very relaxing and comfortable. Perfect for us and friend as we each had our own bedroom and bathroom. Cooked breakfast in the kitchen—well-stocked. Would definitely recommend this rental if the description meets your needs! Thanks Karen.
