The Little Harbor is an 8,000 SF waterfront rental in Door County, accommodating up to 32 guests with 19 beds. It offers 8 hotel-style suites with ensuite bathrooms, two common living rooms and kitchens, a brand new 6 person hot tub, and 5 patios for socializing. Our "Adventure Shed" is stocked with kayaks, fishing gear, bikes, strollers, golf equipment, and games. The property features a concrete pier with breathtaking panoramic views reminiscent of Hawaii. Situated on a spacious 1-acre lot, it boasts waterfront access and private woods, making it ideal for families and dog-friendly.

*Please read description in full before booking*

Previously known as a popular bed and breakfast for nearly three decades, The Little Harbor underwent a transformation to cater to large groups as a waterfront rental. Whether it's a romantic getaway, family reunion, corporate retreat, or a trip with friends, this property offers ample indoor and outdoor spaces for socializing. Each guest in your group will have their own private hotel suite, complete with a bathroom, Roku TV, and sitting area. As one of the largest group rentals in Door County and the only one of its kind, The Little Harbor stands out. Its robust construction, featuring 3-inch wide solid oak commercial grade doors, ensures minimal sound transfer between rooms and living spaces.

Adjacent to the kitchen, there is an outdoor concrete deck with a grill, perfect for social gatherings or wine nights for the ladies or couples.

SECOND FLOOR GAME ROOM/KITCHEN-LIVING SPACE:
- On the 2nd floor, a large area awaits, including a game room with a poker table, bumper pool table, and a Golden Tee arcade game.

This space is an excellent spot for the guys to hang out, play games, or entertain the kids separately from the parents.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS:
- The property offers a total of 8 individual hotel-style bedroom suites. The sleeping quarters are separated from the social rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors, ensuring a peaceful environment for guests. Each room has its own private bathroom, work station, a door leading to a waterfront patio deck, and a sitting area. For families with babies, three pack-n-plays are available in the closet of the game room on the 2nd floor. Additionally, both common area living rooms have large couches for additional sleeping space.

Perfect spot for a large group getaway

We loved the large property with individual rooms for our group of friends to enjoy together with plenty of space. Very clean! The long dining table was perfect for everyone to spend meals together. Just across from the Bay and close driving distance to other natural areas were other top points of this house!

Perfect place for family Christmas

This is the second year we've celebrated our family Christmas at Little Harbor. All 22 of us enjoyed our stay. Plenty of space for adults & kids, together or separate. A big perk for us is each micro-family having their own bedroom and bathroom, for some privacy and down-time. The bedrooms are very sound-proofed, and no one was bothered by the late night festivities or the early risers. The place is very clean, and really well stocked. And the hot tub was a treat for many! Thank you, Little Harbor, for helping us make some wonderful memories!

Great property for family reunion

Perfect for multiple generations to gather. What a blessing to find one place that could accomodate our large family traveling from multiple states. We really enjoyed being able to dine together and share family time around the firepit. Memories were made. The home is well appointed and had everything we needed. A separate bathroom for each room is a bonus.

Space to Spare and Unbelievable Sunsets

We loved our stay at Little Harbor Inn! There was plenty of space for our big group with opportunities for folks to do their own things (fire pit, hot tub, kayak, walk, drink coffee on the porch). We hosted several big meals there and with 2 kitchens and great outdoor patios there was space to spare. The rooms were quiet and peaceful (even with a house full of people), the views of the bay were to die for (sunset was unbelievable), and the house was cozy. Also, ample parking! We’re already talking about coming back for a family reunion or the holidays.

About the host

Hosted by Emily Taylor

Host profile image
The Little Harbor in Door County was a Bed & Breakfast for 24+ years and three cousins from Northeast Wisconsin purchased the property and turned it into a large group rental. Their families have always loved Door County by traveling there, living there, working there, and enjoying everything Door County has to offer. They are excited to start this new chapter in their lives.

Why they chose this property

Guests have the ENTIRE resort (indoor and outdoor) to themselves. But we do have a professional management company on call if there is something urgent that needs to be addressed. There is a professional cleaning company that cleans before and after guest stays. Including fresh linens, towels, vacuuming, sanitizing, and wipe downs.
