Imagine yourself sitting on the quiet side of Door County enjoying the beautiful sandy beach of Lake Michigan (VRBO shows it as a 5 minute walk, but it is literally 100yds out our back door). You will be able enjoy fun days in the sand and water and peaceful evenings listening to the waves. Walk along the shoreline and enjoy the sites, as well as what Jacksonport has to offer.
We have everything you need to enjoy your stay including a game room, beach towels and toys, a grill, and many more amenities.
Located within walking distance is a quaint coffee shop, grocery store, restaurants, and more. Get ready to enjoy the water and rent kayaks from the kayak rental store right across the street. Or, bring your bikes and bike throughout the county on quiet country roads.
To top it off, we are located near Cave Point State Park.
We look forward to having you as our guests.

Very clean. Good location with an easy drive around Door County. Responsive hosts whenever we had questions. Beautiful area right on the lake - especially to watch the sunrise! Very kind and left a cute gift basket for us :)
We would highly recommend this “Cottage on the Lake”! The hosts were amazing, very helpful and accommodating; the view from the lake was breath-taking, perfect to watch the sunrise; check in/out made simple. Would definitely stay again!!!
We've stayed a few different places in Door County, and this stretch in Jacksonport is my favorite. House is well appointed and comfortable for a large family; or multiple friends. Beach is steps out your door and the provided SUP and kayaks were a hit. Game room offers fun activities in case it's raining!
Owners were very responsive and helpful.
We had a great stay!
All the amenities for a fabulous family stay in door county. Personal touch on arrival including notes, Door County classics, and freeze pops for the kids.
Game room was great for active boys.
Hosts were exceptional with communication and understanding of inevitable hiccups when traveling with kids.
Only additional feedback is cottage is situated on road with multiple other surrounding cottages whereas photos appear it’s directly on beach.
Nevertheless still less than a 30 second walk to beach area.
Easily would/will stay here again when visiting Door County.
My husband and I have been traveling to door county for the past 12 years during the fall, but we quickly realized fall time wasn’t as much fun for our two small children. So we decided to find a place on the beach and this cottage did not disappoint! It was even been than the listing, and I know we will be back! Rita was amazing to work with and responded so quickly. Oh and our boys LOVED the beach!
The cottage was very cute and had everything we needed! The host was wonderful We enjoyed our stay very much The game room was great and everything we needed was supplied ! We will be back !

About the host
Hosted by Rita H
Jeff and I are true Wisconsinites and Door County is our favorite part of the state. We love the lakes, state parks, wineries, and the water. From biking, to going for a run, to heading out for a swim, we both love the outdoors. Jeff even more so then myself.
When we purchased this property, we wanted to make sure it had everything we would need as a family when we stay. Once, we saw the beautiful sandy beach and quite residential area, we jumped.
Why they chose this property
When we saw that this home was 100yds out the back door to a beautiful sandy beach with private access, we couldn't let the opportunity pass us by. Now...having stayed in this home, there is nothing more peaceful then the cool breeze which comes off of Lake Michigan at night and waking up the the amazing sunrise. Such a beautiful sight!
Each bedroom offers at least a double bed, with the master bedroom having a king size bed. We also have a sleeper sofa bed in the living room.
Plus....the super awesome game room. This game room has a ping pong table, bar (BYOB), table and chairs for games and much more.
What makes this property unique
This very pretty 1915 home is such a quaint place to stay. Our "Cottage On The Lake" was the original lodge to a resort. The additional cabins are still in use to this day.
It has a spacious kitchen including an island with seating and a full dining room. In addition, the living room is so comfortable and perfect for relaxing and spending time with family.
