About this property

Kelley's Cove - Family Home

Kelley’s Cove has been a great family home for many years with lots of wonderful memories. It is conveniently located between the ferry and town. It has a great view, lots of wildlife, grass yard, and water access.

Kelley’s Cove is located towards the start of Fairbank Point, where the water starts on the southeast side (sunrises). Beautiful morning sunrises are across the water and to the left some. Kelley’s Cove is a dug-in bay which provides well protected water access and dockage. This is a great area for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and decent fishing. It is about 2.7 miles from the ferry dock and about 5.5 miles from town.

The Kelley homestead was originally built in 1951 and has had many additions and renovations. Being built in the 50’s, it was common for bedrooms to be smaller and without closets. There are 3 bedrooms with queen beds and an open wardrobe for clothes. There is one bathroom and a half bath setup in the laundry room. The living room has a great water view and door access to the front deck. The kitchen has an electric stove, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, cooking utensils, dishes, and pantry items (everything). There is a laundry room with a washer and dryer. Towels and linens are provided. Internet WiFi is provided and is good enough for streaming Youtube or Netflix.

Outside is a front deck with grill, table, and chairs. Out front is a dock providing a boat slip for you, while the other is for the caretaker’s boat. Often there is a swim raft in the bay. In the front yard, is a fire pit with log style seating and enough firewood provided for a campfire. There is a lot of wildlife in this area. Often two families of ducks are being raised in the cove, with plenty of deer, sandhill cranes, and other wildlife in the lake or passing thru. The bay itself is about 6 ft deep and the bottom is not rocky or sandy, but muck(a squishy soft bottom). On the front right side of the yard, is a rarely used right of access to the water for some family members. On the satellite view, you will see outside the kitchen window is a private drive, which gets occasional use by people not knowing it is a private drive.

Best ever

This is the best run house I have ever stayed at with vrbo. Everything was well stocked and easy communication with owners. When we ran out gas for the grill they replaced it in 5 minutes or less. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Loved it.

The property is perfect. We were looking for affordability and more than one bathroom, not hi-falutin accommodations. So we were thrilled to find this comfortable family cottage on a small cove of Sturgeon Bay a couple of miles from the ferry. The home (it feels like a home) was clean, nicely furnished and well supplied with amenities. Incredible views and wildlife sighting, and a reasonable distance to trailer the side by side for a day of riding. Kari was an awesome hostess — available as needed, rich with information, and very helpful. Definitely recommend.

Had everything you could imagine in the kitchen and pantry. Extremely clean and better than described. Bed was very comfortable, television reception was great wi-fi was excellent. So, they even furnished kindling and the wood for the firepit and a gas grill with a full tank of propane. Excellent location and close to the ferry. The host Kari was w=very friendly and made us feel right at home. When we left we washed and dried the bed linens and remade the bed. Up to 5 deer at a time in the cove, sand hill cranes and even had loons. Extra dock where a friend was able to pick us up by boat for a 3 hour cruise and drop us back off. Highly recommend and will defentely go back.

We had a great time. We fished and kayaked and shopped and ate in the local restaurants. It is beautiful and peaceful here. Very easy to go to Mackinaw Island, which was great. House was clean and we saw all kinds of wildlife. We fed the deer marshmallows by hand. Beautiful beach nearby for swimming.

I grew up in the area and knew this is where I wanted to be.

Why they chose this property

This is a great location with lots of memories as I often came here to visit grandma and grandpa. They built the home in the 50's and raised their family here.

What makes this property unique

The dug-in bay and surrounding terrain create a well protected cove. Lots of wildlife.
