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.

Christmas in Sister Bay

My son, dog and I stayed at the cottage for a couple of days over our holiday break. It was the perfect location. The cottage was pup friendly. Karen provided all the things we needed to make our vacation easy. Many of the restaurants were closed for the holiday, so we cooked most of our meals. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with all the utensils we needed. Highly recommended this cottage for any dog owners. We will definitely be back again.

Perfection!

My husband and I loved our stay at this cute, quaint, and adorable cottage. The cottage is nicely decorated and we felt comfortable right away. The location was everything we were hoping for. It is private, but close enough to everything. When we walked in it was very clean and smelled nice. The garage was a nice plus. We enjoyed the fire pit and the peace and quiet. We will be back for sure!

Loved Our Stay!

First of all, Karen is one of the kindest hosts I’ve ever met. She was so responsive and attentive to any questions I had. The house was so clean!! We absolutely loved the location - only a short drive from the beach/restaurants/shops but secluded enough that it was so nice to be surrounded by trees and nature. We plan to stay here again next fall!

Annual trip for mother in law

This is a great cottage conveniently located in Sister Bay. Easy access to all the places in Door County. The cottage is well appointed, clean and quiet. It does have well water which did not bother us, but if you are not a fan, bring your own. Also, everything is very comfortable aside from the loft furniture. The seating is a bit broken down and you can feel the wood framing on your legs when sitting. Otherwise, wonderful place to stay and will book again if available when we return to Door County.

The Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was in a perfect location and had great amenities. However, the bed in the main bedroom needed a mattress replacement. The queen size felt like a hammock rolling to the center. That is my only criticism of this rental.

Pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness and privacy. Very clean and excellent amenities. Also I left a couple of items behind and the owner went out of her way to see that I was able to retrieve them. I would return!

We'll be back.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was super clean, had all the comforts of home, and was very private. It is in a very quiet neighborhood, and there are trees and shrubs surrounding the property for lots of privacy. There are outdoor decks and a nice fire ring. Inside, we particularly enjoyed the gas 'wood' stove. The interior is decorated very charmingly. It is a very short drive to Sister Bay. Our host, Karen, was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again.

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.

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!
