About this property

Great swimming, kayaking, huge yard, fishing, free firewood, and prime sunset.

Porch Time is a perfect gathering space for couples, families, and friends looking to enjoy a comfortable new house with unique outdoor spaces and "perfect sunset views" of Little Sturgeon Bay from the massive covered porch that spans the entire length of the house or through large glass doors in the great room and bedrooms. The house is easily accessible with 36" doors all on 1 level and is well equipped with all linens, towels, soaps, spices, games, puzzles, TV, and reliable WiFi.

Only 45 minutes from Green Bay and 15 to Sturgeon Bay.

The modern kitchen with large island overlooks the great room and is perfect for food prep and conversation. All the pots, pans, utensils, and casseroles are provided as well as a well stocked coffee bar with a coffee maker, ground coffee, filters, and a grinder. The great room comfortably accommodates TV watching or game playing on the ornate coffee table and seating for 8 at the dining room table.

We can accommodate 6 adults comfortably in the 3 bedrooms. 2 bedrooms have queen beds and the master suite has a king bed. The master suite also has a full sized futon AND a set of twin sized bunk beds in over sized walk in closet. Both the futon and the bunk beds work great for kids, but can accommodate adults as well. We also have a queen size mattress under the king bed available which can be placed in the great room or in the master suite. Bedroom 2 also has a twin sized futon that comfortably accommodates 1 person.

The covered porch highlights the property. You can spend an entire day here in the comfortable patio furniture watching the boats and wildlife, eating your meals, sampling from your cooler, and then enjoying the setting sun. Grill up your food on the gas grill (with propane provided) and eat at the glass topped table.

There is also a protected sitting area outside the front entrance for days when there's a strong wind off the lake.

In the large yard, you can enjoy sun or shade (there is plenty of each!), play any of the provided yard games, enjoy volleyball or badminton (net is set up May -October), commune around the large fire pit (wood provided), hang out in one of the provided hammocks, or simply relax on the waterfront.

A seawall protects the waterfront with large rocks in the water and a flat, lighted walkway on the house side. The walkway provides an incredible vantage point for the expansive views of the bay.

You can easily access the water through an opening in the wall. We provide 2 kayaks and other items to enjoy the water. There are stairs crafted from large rocks leading into the water and is shallow but rocky and there are weed patches. The swimming here is great!

You may also use the 2 car attached garage and garage door openers.

Looking for 4 bedrooms? Check out our other property Peaceful Shores Door County (property ID 1198300)

Fantastic area with hiking, restaurants, golf, biking, county and state parks, boating, fishing, shopping, farms, orchards, all close Sturgeon Bay, Door County's largest and most vibrant city. There is also a friendly bar with great food and incredible views across the street! Check it out, it's called Sunset on Riley's Point.

Head to Sturgeon Bay and don't miss the Saturday morning Farmer's Market in summer and fall! Throughout the year, you can stroll through downtown and enjoy great shopping, food, and drinks. Be sure to walk across the steel bridge and enjoy the great views of nature, yachts, industry, and the wonderful collection of people that live in and visit this special place.

Viewing the North Pierhead lighthouse by walking out on the break wall jutting into Lake Michigan on the north side of the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal can make for a memorable experience and should not be missed. This may be the more photogenic place in all of Door County!

Don't miss Potawatomi State Park if you are looking for mountain biking, a boat launch, an invigorating hike (Hemlock Trail) or a challenging ski when there is snow.

Looking for a beach? Head to Haines County Park, just 2 miles away. The sand, sun, and water can not be beat here. This is a real Door County treasure!

Of course, you can always head north of Sturgeon Bay if you are looking for more shopping, dining, hiking, and beautiful shorelines.

Rileys Point is situated between Rileys Bay and Little Sturgeon Bay. We say “get to The Point!” meaning Rileys Point. Once you’ve been to The Point, you’ll understand what makes this area, and especially this property, very special.

Late Summer getaway

We had a wonderful stay at the home. It was nice sized, comfortable, and a great location. The property had everything we needed. I liked the separation of the bedrooms on each side of the open concept living room. The view of the bay was spectacular!

Even Better In Person

We booked this place last minute for 4 nights during Spring break and it was better than expected. We typically go somewhere warmer rather than colder but let me assure you that this home and its views were still stunning. The home is equipped with everything needed to be comfortable. The layout of the home is perfect. The open concept made family time easy and effortless. The sound system was great for watching movies and listening to music while cooking. My 3 year old loved running outside in the big yard and playing hide and seek indoors. We played board games and spent a lot of time looking out the windows at the water and the birds. The private entry to the lake is so cool, we got to get close enough to collect shells and skip rocks. Every day we enjoyed the beautiful sunsets! This place must be a ton of fun in the summer but if you’re unsure about booking in the cold months, I guarantee you will still very much enjoy it!

Midweek getaway

We very much enjoyed our stay! The house has a nice single level layout. Very comfortable and casual. There's also a good size attached garage to park. The property is in a nice quiet neighborhood just right for walking our dog. Outstanding sunsets, and about 10 miles from Sturgeon Bay.

Relaxing Fun Fall Get-Away

My family is 3 teens, mom and 90-year-old grandma! Each of us had a wonderful experience! My teens loved kayaking, fishing and bonfires. My mom felt safe everywhere she walked, listening to the water and kids laughing. The kitchen had much more than I ever expected! I cooked big breakfasts, snacks trays and movie night fun! I would just recommend always add an additional day to your visit!

Great stay by the bay

At this property, youll want for nothing. All very well appointed, everything you need and an amazing view. Thoughtful to have not only plastic dishes for children but also picnicware to use if needed. Really, everything you need is at the house. The area was quiet for our visit and should be at high season because it is away from the main area. Enjoy!

I cannot begin to describe the joy in this property. The house is perfect. Well equipped with supplies in everything from cooking pans, utensils, spices and eating dishes to towels, shampoo, soap, laundry supplies, then kayaks, fully stocked campfire supplies, and the list goes on. Very comfortable and decorated so cute. You will NOT be disappointed and worth every penny. Scott was great to work with and very responsive and accommodating. We will be back. Thanks for the memories. ♥️

Door County Stay

Great yard and we loved being on the water. Beautiful view to wake up to! Nice set up in the house with bedrooms being separated with each their own bathrooms. Great views from every room! The firepit area needs a little work. The shower needed a little better cleaning. And I noticed a lot of dirty dishes- I think the older dishwasher doesn't do a good job. Also, the refrigerator was older and a little dirty. The "host" was excellent to work with and answered all my questions in a timely manner.

Great peaceful location with FUN amenities

We used the property both as our Door County home base as well as enjoying time at the property using provided amenities (fire pit - saucer tree swing - kayak - paddle board - badminton - bocce ball - grilling dinners). Our 3 generation group of 3 small families totaling 10 people fit nicely with the 3 bedrooms. It was our first time to Door County so we had a lot on our wish list of things to do. Location in Rileys bay / Little Sturgeon bay was peaceful and very minimal boating and calm waters with plenty of pelicans to watch keeping us amused.

fathers day getaway

the property is excellent if you have someone with a walker and has mobility issues. My elderly 90 year old father was able to enjoy the facility. I was disappointed that we were only given two rolls of toilet paper and had to go into town to purchase some. It made the three day weekend a bit stressful.

A great place to call home while visiting Door County

Property is as advertised. Clean and modern with great views of the bay. The sunsets are amazing! Fully stocked kitchen with plenty of dishes and utensils for cooking. The owner supplied plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, soaps etc for the week we were there. Also plenty of towels. This property is pet friendly which was a big plus for us as well! The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Easy access to all you want to take in. A quick drive into Sturgeon Bay where you’ll find some great restaurants and coffee shops. Overall a great place to call home while you’re visiting Door County!

Great Lake get away

The property was very nice and well stocked. It was nice for only 5 days to have enough things like toilet paper and paper towels. Kitchen was well stocked with pans and such and plenty of firewood stacked outside for fire pit. The location was a little remote but we liked that and choose it knowing that. The only issue we had at all was the sink water smelled like rotten eggs. Not sure if that is a area thing or not but it was very off putting and we just used bottled water except for showers. Overall was very happy, owner was very responsive and easy to deal with.

About the host

Hosted by Scott Fuller

Host profile image
I have been visiting Door County as often as possible my entire life to visit family and to enjoy the special lifestyle here. I enjoy sharing my love for this special place and providing opportunities for others to experience a bit of that magic. This is our 2nd property available to rent in Southern Door county and I couldn't be more thrilled about this exciting journey. When I'm not working, you can find me biking, paddling, or enjoying a great meal with my wife or family in the back corners of the county.

Why they chose this property

Our family has always enjoyed "porch time" to relax, share stories from the day, and plan for the next adventure. We fell in love with this property when we first encountered it because of the west facing covered porch that's perfect for sitting to gather and enjoying the sunset.

What makes this property unique

We love this part of Door County with its slower pace and immense beauty. This house has been everything we dreamed it would be centered around the great room and kitchen. We are so excited to share it with others when we are not able to be there ourselves!
