About this property

Prime Location & Highly Rated Dog Friendly Cottage with 'Perks'

Popular and well appointed, 2 bedroom 2 full bath cottage, with open floor plan. As you enter the door, to your right is the dining area, with table and chairs. To your left is the galley kitchen with breakfast bar and stools. Kitchen includes range/oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, dishwasher, regular & per cup coffee brewer as well as dishes, pots & pans, glassware etc. Cook a little, cook a lot , whatever the mood. Off the kitchen is a full bath with tub.
The living room is straight ahead. Windows line the entire wall along the dining area and living room affording you a view of the wooded area outside the cottage. There is a queen size sofa sleeper, comfy chairs, cable TV, DVD player, child safe fireplace, WiFi, and Bluetooth speaker.
The two private bedrooms are accessed to your left (off the kitchen.) The master bedroom hosts a queen size bed, closet and en suite bathroom including shower. The second bedroom has 2 twin beds and closet holding stackable washer/dryer.
Outside patio features Adirondack chairs for six, charcoal grill, and urban fire pit. Dedicated parking is right out front.
The cottage stays very comfortable due to thermostat controlled central air conditioning and heat as well as electric fireplace.
Located on Main Street in front of cottage (very short walk.) is the very popular Blue Horse Beach Café. All guests of The Java Hut enjoy discounts at the café including breakfast, lunch, teas, and smoothies, as well as a full coffee/espresso bar.
A great feature of this cottage is its ideal location. Even though The Java Hut is downtown it is still in a quiet area so you get the convenience of shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation but you still have a good measure of privacy as well.
Added bonus- your kids and pets will love it here!
Walk to numerous restaurants in town as well as groceries via Fish Creek Market just a half block away.

Perfect

My 15 years old daughter and I were looking for a quick get away. The Java Hut was perfect accommodation for us. We each had our own bedroom & bathroom. The place is cozy and clean. The table was great for putting our new puzzle together. The location also lovely!

Winter Getaway in Door County

We loved the charming, cozy and extremely clean Java Hut cottage. Plenty of room for two to spread out and very comfortable living room furniture. Nice sized well stocked kitchen to make meals in, especially in winter when many restaurants are closed for the season. It is very centrally located to get up and down the peninsula. Would have stayed an extra day or two more but it was available, bummer. Yes we would stay here again.

Absolutely Wonderful!

The property looks exactly like the pictures. It is clean and just perfect. You can walk to Berringer’s Supper Club, the little Market and small restaurant/tavern as well as many shops that are all only a few minutes away. The Java Hut is located in The Blue Horse Beach Cafe’s backyard so walking down is less than 30 seconds for coffee and breakfast. We could not have asked for anything better!

We stayed 3 nights in September and had a great time. First time in Fish Creek and loved the location of The Java Hut. Easy access to shops and restaurants downtown and the Blue Horse Beach Cafe and beach was just steps away. Hope to return again.

Anniversary Week

My husband and I were tremendously happy with our stay at this property. For us, Pros: perfect/private location, responsive/friendly owners, 2 bathrooms, lots of closet space, washer/dryer, ability to adjust thermostat to preference, furniture was comfortable, Cons: we arrived after dark and could not locate property (owners immediately responded and assisted), water had an iron like smell (we have experienced this before in Door County, so maybe this is just due to location) It is a wonderful place to stay.

Tranquil

When you hear Java Hut you think caffeinated. The coffee at Blue Horse was but the Java Hit is peaceful and tranquil. Easy walk to great dining as well as amazing sunrises and sunsets. Java Hit is well appointed and the pictures do not do this awesome cottage justice.

Off-Season Getaway

We decided to visit door county in the off season for a weekend getaway away from the city. The Java Hut was a perfect location for us and the dog! Easy walk to restaurants and easy access to the state park with a short 3 minute drive. All amenities were utilized with the grill outside for dinner and the fire pit for smores! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Carina Helm

Host profile image
Having met and resided in Door County since early 2001, my husband Michael and I were thrilled to acquire the property at 4113 Main Street in Fish Creek ostensibly to move Blue Horse Beach Cafe (with business partner Eric) into the Main house, but also to move our family upstairs from the cafe and offer The cottage, now known as The Java Hut, behind the Main house as a vacation rental.

Why they chose this property

Both Michael & I vacationed in Door County every summer as children. We both spent summers working in DC during college. Before meeting each other, we had both gone the entrepreneurial route; Michael buying into Dano's Pizza in 1999 and Husby's in 2000, and me opening Blue Horse Cafe in 2001-the year we met. We knew Door County was our home. So in 2012 when it was time to buy a permanent location for the Cafe, we found a property that could accommodate the Cafe, our family, and traveling families in the cottage...perfect.

What makes this property unique

Unique to The Java Hut cottage is its ideal location with proximity to downtown and the beach while being on a quiet low traffic street. Its a good sized comfortable layout with modern updates and most everything a person needs to enjoy their stay without having to bring so much with them. We allow dogs!
Also, guests enjoy discounts at Blue Horse Beach Cafe, a very popular and well established coffee and brunch cafe next door.
