About this property

Above Bakery: Cozy Studio, Perfect for Couples!

Bird's Nest by Getaway and Stay

This cozy studio is on the second floor and is situated directly above a bustling sourdough bakery, 'Cultured.' We may be getting up early to prepare some delectable treats. To prevent any disruption to your rest, we have supplied a noise machine for your use. This studio has its own private entrance located at the back of the house and its own balcony perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee or a sunset overlooking the stunning scenery.

Once you open the upper floor doors, you'll enter immediately into this studio's core - we've got our washer and dryer here in an enclosed space, then next is our fully stocked kitchen including a sink, stove, and oven, full-size refrigerator, coffee machine; all for use when inside. This place also includes dishes (including silverware) and cookware to make breakfast or dinner for yourself during your stay.

Walk right past the kitchen, there sits a spacious dining table by windows looking out over trees - perfect for eating while taking in nature! Past the dining area is our bright bedroom space configured with a large King bed. On the other side of this space, there you'll find the living area with a "full" size sleeper sofa & flat screen TV tucked away in one corner; what comes next? Well just beyond it all is our full-size bathroom just waiting for its next guest.

This unique and tranquil home in the heart of Door County is designed especially for couples, or perhaps a couple with 1-2 young children. With its unique design, this studio provides an open space living and dining area and a fully-equipped kitchen perfect for your intimate relaxation. It is a wonderful place to be alone and unwind, and yet a short distance to all that Northern Door County has to offer!

Please note that our vacation rental is located above a live bakery, which may result in some delicious aromas wafting into the space. While we hope that you enjoy the scent of fresh-baked goods, we also understand that it may not be for everyone. Therefore, we have taken measures to minimize any potential disruptions to your stay. We have provided an air purifier to help with any lingering bakery smells, as well as a white noise machine to mitigate any early morning noise. We hope that these amenities will ensure that you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay with us.

★ Curious about our cleaning fee? While ours might be slightly higher than others, we believe it's worth it for the quality experience we provide. Take a moment to read through and learn how it contributes to an exceptional stay! ★

OUTDOORS
Enjoy a relaxing evening in our backyard with a cozy fire pit. It's perfect for roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, or simply unwinding under the stars. A great addition to your stay, offering a warm and inviting space to gather with family and friends.

CULTURED (Sourdough Bakery)
Indulge in specialty sourdough bakery, where mouthwatering bagels, bread, and a delightful selection of fermented goodies like sauerkraut and kimchi are crafted. Visit their newly opened storefront every Friday to Sunday for a delicious experience (Please check their Social Media Pages for updated hours). Enjoy tempting bagel sandwiches, paired with aromatic drip coffee, while relaxing in our inviting outdoor seating area.

PETS
Dogs are welcome. We allow up to 2 dogs, with a pet fee of $75 for every 2 dogs. Please bring bags and clean up after your pets.

WI-FI
We have high-speed internet in this house, which is plenty fast enough to stream videos on multiple devices and facetime your friends and family. The cell phone service can be a bit spotty, but the WIFI will hopefully make up for it.

PARKING
The driveway can park up to 2 cars or trucks but please do not park in the grass.

LAUNDRY
We have a washer and dryer in the unit you can use.

NEIGHBORHOOD
Our studio is above our bakery! :) This property is in a residential neighborhood while also situated next to other local businesses. Please respect our friends and neighbors and avoid loud, large parties. Please treat the neighbors like you live there. The neighborhood and backyard are perfect for grilling out, enjoying a fire, and laughing with your friends and family.

DAMAGE WAIVER
While you're on vacation, rest easy knowing that you are protected under Safely if any accidents or damage occur. We will take care of the cost of this coverage, which is additional to any protection provided by the platform. If any damage happens, please let me know and I will make a claim with Safely. You can trust me to take care of everything for you, provided that you clean up after your dog.

The damage waiver fee, which is included in the total cost of your reservation for this property, covers up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the property or its contents, such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances. To qualify for coverage, you must report any incidents to us before checking out.

Please note that this waiver does not negate your responsibilities as a renter for items beyond Safely's scope of responsibility.

CANCELLATION POLICY
We understand that plans can change unexpectedly, which is why we have a flexible cancellation policy that puts your mind at ease. If you decide to cancel your booking more than 14 days before your scheduled arrival date, you will receive a 97% refund of the total booking amount. The remaining 3% will be retained as a non-refundable transaction fee to cover the costs associated with processing your booking. However, if you cancel your booking within 14 days of your scheduled arrival date, we regret that we will not be able to offer any refund. Nevertheless, we will do our best to accommodate any change requests that you may have, subject to availability and applicable fees.

CLEANING FEE
We understand you may have questions about our cleaning fee, so let us shed some light on its purpose. It's not just a number; it reflects our commitment to immaculate cleanliness and fair treatment of our cleaning team.

The cleaning fee primarily supports our cleaners with living wages, empowering them to thrive in today's economy. We believe in respecting their hard work, which directly translates into the quality of your stay.

Beyond cleanliness, we're dedicated to ensuring your experience is seamless. We're on call to address any issues promptly, guaranteeing your peace of mind throughout your stay.

Rest assured, the cleaning fee isn't for profit. It directly supports fair compensation for our cleaners and includes a unique damage coverage policy, providing added protection for both you and our property.

Additionally, our commitment to excellence is reflected in the consistent praise for our cleanliness from previous guests.

We look forward to hosting you in our carefully prepared home, where every detail is chosen with your comfort and peace of mind in mind. We're here to ensure you have a great stay!

Wonderful place to stay when visiting Door County

The listing was exactly as listed. If we wanted we had everything needed to cook our meals in the small but fully furnished kitchen, plus a washer and dryer if needed. It was spacious, updated and had the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on. It is only minutes away from town . On the ground level is a bakery that has the most amazing bagels I have ever had, including those in NYC. The host was very prompt in responding to any questions we had. Definitely will stay here next time we return to Door County. Can't go wrong with this rental.

Perfect stay near Sisters Bay with amazing Bakery!

This was a perfect property for our trip to Door County! Great location that put us 3 minutes from downtown S. Bay & Ephraim, but the location put us close to Bailys Harbor & Fish Creek in 10 minutes. The Bakery below in open 3 days per week and has amazing food and scents. The bagel sammie is a perfect way to start your day! The property was very clean, and the perfect size for us. We did not need anything during our stay, but the owner reached out & was available if needed. Highly Recommend! Thanks for a great stay!

Great place!

We stayed just one night but the location was very close to Sister Bay which we love. Very clean and communication with the host was fast and easy. It is above a bakery and you can smell the aromas in the early morning but it was not bad. It smelled quite good and we did decide to wait to leave until the bakery opened so we could give it a try. Wow - so delicious!! Highly recommend. Also you can’t go to Door County without trying Cultured. Yum!

Perfect place to stay for my wife and I, as well as our dog. Very comfortable and close to most everything in northern Door, and we’ve been coming up for many years. Communicating with the owner is very easy and open. The Bird’s Nest has most everything we need, and the property has a big, beautiful yard as well. We’ll be coming back here for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Ackley

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Wisconsin and enjoy traveling. I've been to over a dozen countries and have been all over the US while I was in the Air Force. I'm married and we have two boys. We all enjoy being in nature and spend most of our free time with Scouts and baseball.

We started buying vacation homes in areas we enjoy visiting, then we kept buying a few more because we really enjoy proving great properties for families to make lifelong memories.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this house because our family enjoys travelling to Door County, exploring the Sister Bay, visiting all the attractions it has to offer and simply getting away from home.

What makes this property unique

The property is in a prime location, a popular tourist destination in Sister Bay. The scenic surroundings and proximity to amenities enhance its appeal. Enjoy a convenient and delicious breakfast at Cultured Bakery without having to travel far.
