About this property

Oostburg,WI Beach front, Lake Michigan

This rustic and charming 3 bedroom cottage has been in our family for over 100 years. It can sleep 7 adults plus we have 2 cots that can be pulled out for kids. The cottage is nestled in the woods on the shore of Lake Michigan, 3 miles from Oostburg, Wisconsin. Our wonderful Sweetbriar creek is out our back door with beautiful Lake Michigan out the front door.
This cottage is a joy to be at during the warmer months of spring and summer, But is also a cozy peaceful place to get away from the hustle and bustle of our increasingly hectic modern world in the early and late fall months.

(IMPORTANT information... Please bare with us as the beach is constantly changing in size and in the last 3 years the Lake levels have been relatively high.
Luckily the sand and beach has come back and is filling in.

* Update April 2024 there is beach for walking and swimming, playing. The beach is coming back. Inside our cottage there is ample room for cooking, baking, and dining together. There are games, tables, nooks for reading, a wood burning fireplace in the living room and a sunny sitting room facing the lake. Also we offer wireless internet and an HD flat screen TV. for local channels and for your streaming plus a cottage phone line.
The deck looks out over the lake and In the morning our sunbathed deck provides a wonderful place to sit, read, visit and sip morning coffee. (We provide a table umbrella and sand Beach umbrellas). (also available beach towels and some hats.) This deck becomes shaded in the mid afternoon as the sun drops behind the White Pines providing relief from the late afternoon heat.

As evening comes on, building an outdoor fire, enjoying dinner around the fire ring or on the deck provide a fitting finale to the day.

Particular activities for this natural area include taking a beach walk or a bike ride in the wooded one lane shaded road that parallels the meandering creek. You can admire the natural boreal forest with its Canadian Hemlock, Sugar Maples, Beech trees, and native ferns.

Well behaved dogs are always welcome.

Close by are an abundance of activities including- the Kohler art museum, state parks, bike paths and quaint little towns.

For more places to visit, walk, and swim at a Beach you can take a quick drive north to Kohler Andrea State Park (North)Beach. It is a 5 minute drive ! Approximately 4 miles away. Very fun to walk, collect beach stones and drift wood, picnic and swim, dogs are allowed in certain places on a leash. There is also a visitor center for kids and Adults to enjoy. Entry is 3.00 / day pass. ( It is a State Park so fees apply but if you already have a yearly sticker you are all set. (and if you choose, there is plenty of room at the park to social distance and to enjoy the beach safely.) You might also look into Amsterdam State Park or Sheboygan City Beach for more Lakefront fun.
Sheboygan also has a wonderful Library and Children's museum to visit. )

We hope that you enjoy your time at our cottage as much as we do.

Thank you and We hope that you will stay with us. Thank you for looking.

Relaxing

I didn’t leave for 4 days except to take long walks with my dog. It was very relaxing and so quiet. This is the fourth year that my dog and I have been here and we will be back again next year! So nice to have a lot of beach to walk on.

A Hidden Gem

We had a wonderful time spending the end of summer at this hidden gem. Our boys thoroughly enjoyed the extra toys in the back room and children's books. We loved sleeping to the sounds of the lake waves. Thank you for sharing your family's cottage with us!

Family getaway

The cabin is great, the location wonderful, quiet, remote, and peaceful. There are a ton of games, books, and even some sand toys to enjoy. We had a great time relaxing on the beach and playing games and reading on the porch. We didn't note the lack of A/C or that it's a charcoal grill but we had a great time and would come back. You can tell the house has been loved by generations and it feels cozy

This house provided a great getaway with friends for my anniversary. The house was just as described and was very relaxing. We particularly loved spending time on the deck right at the water, utilizing the the fire pit in the evening and swimming in the lake during the day. Overall a great stay!

Lovely cottage w/ beautiful views!

This was a perfect spot for a short get-away for me and my family! The cottage is cozy and views are spectacular with it sitting right on the shores of Lake Michigan. The narrow, wooded lane to the property is picturesque and was perfect for walking our dog. Thank you for the hospitality, Byrd Family!

Can't wait to come back!

Location, location, location! What a wonderful spot right on the lake. Nothing more idyllic than hearing the waves all day, while enjoying a breeze off of Lake MI. The place was darling, had all the amenities you would need. Communication was awesome, as well. The shower is pretty small but definitely doable! We loved our stay and will be back soon.

memory lane

Staying at Byrnside Cabin was a flashback to the good ole days! Lots of nostalgia in the furnishings that reflect the cabin's history, alongside comfortable amenities. Check in and departure were easy, we had no issues and no need to contact the property manager. Fabulous view of the shoreline from the deck, and we had the pleasure of a super full moon during our stay. A good choice for a cozy getaway to Lake Michigan!
