Minutes east of I-43 nestled in beautiful wooded acreage with a short walk to the shores of Lake Michigan. This cottage is on a private drive and a great panoramic view. The only neighbors that are close by are the owners of this cottage which gives this a great appeal for those who value service.

We are 12 minutes from Sheboygan where the famous Blue Harbor Resort is located along with several unique restaurants and specialty shops along the Sheboygan River. Sheboygan County has several opportunities for golf enthusiasts including The Bull at Pinehurst Farms, Riverdale Country Club, Blackwolf Run and Whistling Straits. Ryder Cup is at Whistling Straits just 20 minutes away from the tournament. For fishing enthusiasts Sheboygan offers Dumper Dan’s Charters where you can take a ride on Lake Michigan for some exciting fishing. Racing enthusiasts? Just a short drive away you can enjoy weekend races at Road America in Elkhart Lake. For those who like to shop we have several local towns that not only have antiques and boutiques but also several good local restaurateurs and wedding venues.

PERFECT spot for a little getaway. Adorable cottage with everything thought of. We enjoyed our time! Not as close to the lake as we would have liked as it was a bit of a walk around to the public access. Thank you for the hospitality!

Cozy winter getaway

We just love everything about this place! It's super clean, beautifully decorated (and so festive around the holidays!), cozy, comfortable and in such a peaceful location. The hosts are always great too. This is our third time coming around the holidays and we always look forward to it. Maybe this year we'll try to go in the summer too :)

Perfect Fall Family Getaway

We absolutely loved our stay at the Sandalwood Cottage. We are a family of 5 (kids ages 5,4&2) and this was the perfect location! The house had everything we needed (kitchen supplies, towels, laundry, etc) it was exceptionally clean and close to all of the main Sheboygan attractions. We loved Bookworm Gardens and Above and Beyond Children’s Museum (both less than 15 minutes away). The yard was absolutely gorgeous and our kids had so much fun exploring the woods and playing on the swing set/tree house. Amy’s communication exceeded our expectations. She was so kind and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Cozy family stay for races

Loved our stay. Wish we could have used the fireplace or fire pit but our stay just wasn’t long enough! It’s about 25-30 min to Road America which was fine for us. Plenty of room. Comfortable beds, pillows and blankets! Pretty wooded setting. Will look to book again if going to area!

Cottage by the Lake

This is our third time staying at this location. Every time has been a positive experience. We love the close proximity to state parks and the nice backyard. The only negative was a neighbor who was doing concrete work while we were there. This was only one day thankfully and definitely not something the owners could have controlled. We would definitely stay at this cottage again.

Lovely house

We enjoyed our stay. We created meaningful memories here. I would like to visit again! I did have one misunderstanding with the listing. When it stated 300 feet from the lake and showed a picture of a trail, I thought our property had lake access 300 feet away. Although the lake was 300 feet away, it was someone else’s private property. We were able to enjoy the lake, however, at the public access down the street.

Woods Plus Water = Relaxation

My wife and I were looking for a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of our working lives. We found the perfect place, a “Tranquil Cottage in the Woods with Lake Michigan only 300 feet away.” The perfect combination of the beautiful woods and the lapping/crashing waves of Lake Michigan gave us a relaxing weekend. The cottage was immaculately clean and well furnished. We highly recommend this home away from home.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Sue DeVrou

Host profile image
My husband, Wayne, and I moved here in 2004 with our four children. He is a local Pastor at Grace Bible Fellowship in Oostburg. Our roots come from Southwest Michigan in a small town called Jenison. Our kids are all grown up, married with children and now was the perfect time for us to invest in a place where we can share our hospitality and love for people.

Sandalwood, is on the south side of our adjoining properties. We always had hopes to one day own and renovate it for the purpose of turning it into a place where guests can rest, relax and unwind. With that in mind we have designed the property for our guests to immerse in the natural setting that Sandalwood has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This cottage is on a private drive 300ft from Lake Michigan. Wildlife is abundant in any given season. Wooded lot. Most neighbors are seasonal. No neighbors to the south and we are to the north separated by the woods. The sounds of nature make this an attractive place to visit. From the winds to the waves to the chirping birds to the hooting of owls. Sandalwood is a place like no other.

What makes this property unique

Owners live north of the property. We are close to the City of Sheboygan , Kohler, Milwaukee and and hour away from Green Bay to catch a momentous NFL game at historical Lambeau Field. All of these cities have attractions to many to count.

Sandalwoods Lake Access Points:
The lake level has progressively gone down since 2019 and we are seeing signs of beach recovery. The access points below have minimal beach to sit and enjoy the view, but you will be able to walk on the beach from the North access point which will take you all the way to Kohler Andrae State Park if you are feeling ambitious. You can certainly swim in the lake from our access points:

Going South on Cardinal Lane: Once you see a paved cross street called Foster Rd, it will be at the end of that road, which dead ends to the lake. If you take your car down by the access, parking is permissible on the North side of the road, facing West.

Going North on Cardinal Lane: Once you see a paved cross street called Townline Rd, it will be at the end of that road, which dead ends to the lake. This access, on a calm day, walking North, will lead you to Kohler Andrae State Park.

As an alternative, I would recommend Kohler Andrae State Park as an option for your beach experience. It is about a 5-minute drive from Sandalwood. There are available brochures about the park in the magazine rack by the dining table.

This information is subject to change as the lake water level goes down.
