Great place for family

We had a great stay. The place was clean, and there were plenty of towels, sheets, and blankets. I even found coffee supplies. Dan quickly responded to all questions. We loved the location. Make your morning coffee and watch the sun rise over the lake from your private bit of shoreline. It was a convenient drive to everywhere we wanted to go, but had an out in the woods feel. I would have zero hesitations about returning.

Nice house with lots of space inside and out for the kids to let out energy. Has everything at the house you could need. Close to town and the neighborhood was quiet and easy to get around. Dan was friendly and made sure we had a great stay

Door Co Getaway

Loved all the space, nice area outside right on the water. TV very limited unless you subscribe. Wish the water quality would have been better. Smelled bad and was discolored probably because of location on the water. Beautiful area for taking a walk and beautiful sunrises.

Great

The quality of the indoor water was poor so we used bottled water for cooking and drinking. There is no beach, so we could not use the boats provided as 2 of us were 80+, one 60. three females and one male 30 year old. We were mother, sister, daughter and grandson. It was in a good location to get around the whole penninsula. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the sunrises over the water.

Beautiful location

We enjoyed our stay at Cozy Cottage as a family of 6. It was spacious and the location was great. The side of the house facing the water is all windows and 20 feet from the water. You also get a lake view of the other bay from the front of the house including the sunset. The cottage is nicer than it looks in the photos. I appreciated that the cottage is clearly a beloved family home and I loved seeing the things they’ve collected over the years. The kitchen was also well equipped and easy to cook in. Sturgeon Bay is only 15 minutes away and has great coffee shops and antique/thrift stores. We will try to come back!

Excellent location for fishing

The property is very nice. It looks like a quaint family cottage with a newer large addition. Everything worked perfectly and the views are gorgeous. Lakeside is on Sand Bay, and a few hundred yards in front is Riley Bay. Water on two sides. Property is within 15 minutes of our two favorite boat ramps to fish the Sturgeon Bay Area. Beds and amenities all good and the property manager is very responsive. Great place for families or fisherman. Twenty steps out the door and your toes are in Sand Bay. We are definitely going back. Plenty of room for our whole family.

Perfect Family House!!

This property is just down the street from us. We were having a family reunion so I rented this house for overflow guests. Two adults and four children aged 4-10 stayed at this property and they could not have been more delighted. It is very kid friendly, very clean, and decorated in a charming cottage style. The kids LOVED the layout of the house, especially the upstairs with the two huge beds and couch and plenty of play area to enjoy the multitude of games and puzzles that were available. I don’t think the kitchen was used for much because the meals were all prepared and eaten at our house, but it looked like it had everything you could need or want to prepare meals. Check in and out was simple, the host manager was informative and good about communicating. My guests enjoyed their stay so much that they asked if we could do it again next year. My great nephew announced that he wanted to stay 75 more nights! If you have kids or if you don’t, it would be hard to find a better place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Dan Krauel

Host profile image
I am a Door County native and started managing properties a few years ago. I quickly discovered that I really love it. Helping others with their getaways is something I truly enjoy. I understand how important vacation time is and strive to help others get the most out of their vacations.

Why they chose this property

Southern Door County is my favorite. It boasts wonderful shorelines and fantastic views, but without the sheer number of people that northern Door sees. You can always travel up the peninsula to explore all that Door County has to offer. However, if you prefer your own space, just relax in the peace and tranquility of Cozy Cove Cottage.

What makes this property unique

Experience a classic Door County waterfront cottage vibes with plenty of space both inside and out. The cottage features charming decor, including a cozy electric fireplace that adds to its inviting atmosphere during the cooler months. In summer sit by the water and let the world pass you by. Relax, unwind and recharge.
