About this property

Three Sisters Cottage Barn Retreat

There is a custom kitchen with soapstone countertops and finely crafted oak cabinetry, open shelving for the stoneware and glassware at your fine tips. The vintage Viking stove, cookware and utensils, large prep space, many small appliances, stocked spices make it simple to dine in. You can be inspired to prepare food at home, enjoy the open meadow with fire pit and charming stone patio with outdoor seating. There is a cherry island bar with four cushy stools, a slender teak table that seats four for sit down. A stand up workstation cabinet and a window seat round out the kitchen.

Original four by four ebony stained beams, original push out freshly reglazed casement windows allows light and breeze in from all directions.The first floor bathroom has a tiled glass shower with a Door County rock floor and a sweet west facing window making it heavenly to shower before dinner. The vanity sink situated in front of the open north facing casement window makes it enjoyable to brush your teeth in any season.

The entire second floor 28x 22 is a king loft bedroom with a sunken bathtub for two. There is a very comfy sofa w/chaise situated under the south facing dormer creating an extra nice place to sink in and relax. The upstairs also has an extra vanity sink, places for your personal things and loads of space to stretch out.

The original barn structure came from Whitefish Bay Dunes State Park. Meticulously dissembled piece by piece by the original owner and then ambitiously reassembled and enhanced making the cottage barn refuge a gem. We invite you to settle and relax into the northern door peninsula!

Great private stay option for couple + dog

My wife and our 45-lb dog spent several nights in the refurbished barn/cottage, and we really enjoyed our stay! The place wasn't super-spacious, but the space available was well-used. The kitchen especially was well-appointed (minus a microwave). The location worked well for us. It's not especially close to much, but Sister Bay was less than 10 minutes away, and everything from Egg Harbor on north was within a 30-minute drive. We went during an especially warm September period, and the place did warm up a bit in the afternoon, but once we mastered the windows, it wasn't a problem. There were also a few flies inside (though I'm not sure how one can avoid that in a cottage). Overall, we were impressed with the place and would go back again.

Labor Day Weekend getaway

We absolutely loved our stay. The outdoor area is lovely and we enjoyed eating on the patio and sitting by the fire pit at night. The stars are beautiful to see in the night sky. The bed was very comfortable and we had plenty of room for us, our golden and our baby. The host was very responsive when we had a minor plumbing issue with the tub and it was immediately fixed while we were out exploring. I highly recommend this home to stay in.

Anniversary get away

Loved the little barn. For the smaller size, it felt roomy and was very very nice inside. It was located far enough away from town that we felt like we were in the woods. The upstairs was especially nice, big tub, sitting area and king sized bed.

Unique Stay at Three Sisters

My wife, 2 year old, and I (and dog) stayed here over Labor Day weekend. They have done a really nice job converting the old barn into a modern and cozy place to stay. This has been a recent annual tradition to come up to Door County and, for the first two years, we stayed in different VRBOs. This year I may have found the perfect place for a small family and will be staying here again in a year. Thanks for the great time!

Great getaway for our 40th anniversary

This little place is tucked away in the country but only 7 min from Sister Bay! It is only 20 min from most of the Door County tourist sites. This cottage was well decorated and cozy. Please note: there is no AC and the bed is upstairs! We were fine at night with the windows open when it cooled down with the fan upstairs. It was in the low 60's at night. The upstairs was such a sweet place. The bed was very comfortable and the couch was nice. If you wanted to watch TV you had to move things around a bit and set it up. The HUGE sunken tub was used nightly and was wonderful! There was also a sink (but no toilet) upstairs. There was no place to hang clothes except a coat stand. The only curtains upstairs were at the headboard of the bed where the sun comes up.The stairs were solid and well constructed. The handrails were a bit loose. They were very dark at night. There were two small globe candles on the steps that we put tealights in but they didn't burn all night. There were lights downstairs that could be dimmed that helped. In the country it is really dark with the lights out and when you are 60 you don't want to fall at night. The kitchen was well stocked with most items you would need and well laid out. The downstairs bathroom was great but had no curtains or blinds. A city girl like me struggled a bit with this even though we were in the country. We spent so much time on the patio in the mornings enjoying our coffee! It's such a peaceful place to start or end the day

Charming!

The property was clean, quaint and had lots of personality and character. The kitchen was equipped with all necessary cooking utensils, and the back porch was well utilized by my husband and me as we relaxed at the end of the day!

Loved Our Stay! Will be Booking AGAIN over the summer!

My boys (ages 14&11) and I were looking for just the right place to stay in Door County, WI for Spring Break. And boy did we find it! The space is absolutely adorable and had everything we needed and then some. Plenty of wonderful cookware, towels, comfortable bedding, snuggly blankets, games, puzzles and so much more! Kathleen was wonderful and always available if we had questions about the area. We took her up on all of her suggestions including the delicious nachos at Husby's. YUM! Very easy checkin/checkout. The view was lovely and we took advantage of all the hiking we could find! Newport State Park was our fave! We look forward to coming back and booking again in the summer months to experience more of Door County! Thank you again Kathleen for sharing this lovely home with us!

Perfect Winter Getaway

This property is exactly how it is described. Perfect for couples or girls getaway. Host was very attentive. Location is great, not too close to all the hustle and bustle but close enough to enjoy all our favorite towns.

Nature-inspired countryside charm

This barn-turned-cottage feels both rustic and upscale, cozy and spacious. Surrounded by oversized stepping stones and wildflowers outside, the interior space is beautifully decorated with a unique live-edge wooden bar and staircase hand railing. A short distance from Sister Bay, it’s easy to relax and relish in the quiet (minus birds singing good morning), while enjoying the cross breeze from windows wide open. Highly recommend.
