About this property

⭐ 250' RELAXING WATERFRONT, SPACIOUS REMODEL & WALKING DISTANCE TO SAND BEACH ⭐

A perfect location between Sister Bay and Baileys Harbor. This home is away from the hustle and bustle of the towns, yet conveniently situated when needing last minute items or when wanting a little more activity. We just finished extensive remodel in 2018.

This year we added a new Napoleon wood fireplace to make having a fire easy. To celebrate we are offering a bundle of dry hardwood free with every stay November - April, so you can enjoy. If you really like fires we would be happy to fill the wood bin for an extra charge of $30. Just let us know when you book.

We have installed Premier One UV Air whole house purifier system to the HVAC system. It is a germicidal air purifier that uses ultra violet light. Our cleaning company is using CDC cleaning guidelines on every cleaning. We are NOT suppling towels at this time. Guests need to bring their own towels. We want you to be able to relax on your visit.

The house was recently finished in 2018 with a major interior remodeling. The remodeling project includes: hardwood flooring, painting, new custom kitchen, bathroom work, including 2 new tiled showers, and new mattresses. We are very excited to update the interior of our home to make it up to date and inviting.

Recently added Starlink wifi for speed over 150 mbps! That's impressive for Door County.

This property has a gorgeous view of the historical Cana Island lighthouse which is within walking distance. It is also located next to one of the State of Wisconsin Forests known as Spike Horn and Baileys Harbor Boreal Forest, which have large beautiful hiking paths and natural sand beach frontage, all walking distance from our home.

Kayak info: The fishing from Cana Island and through out nearby Moonlight Bay boasts a lot of fishing opportunities from Small Mouth Bass and Northern Pike to occasional Brown Trout. We have 2 fishing kayaks available at home. This sturdy kayaks can be used for just checking out the beautiful shorelines to catching a DC trophy.

Please follow kayak instructions when using.

The home, built in 1990, has all the modern conveniences you would expect. The two screened porches, facing lakeside, capture the beauty of the water and the lighthouse, as does the expansive deck. Both rooms have plenty of furniture to relax in.

We have a pier with a swim ladder. The water gradually drops off. Note water levels very greatly in DC from year to year.

The interior of the home has a foyer and great room which boasts a two-story ceiling with many windows that allow the natural light and surrounding beauty to enter from each side.

The new custom kitchen is spacious and and opens up to the dining and great room. It is gorgeous! Appliances are new with dishwasher, and refrigerator with an ice maker. The laundry room has a washer and dryer for your convenience. Capable of hosting many guests this three bedroom home has access to three full baths. The master bedroom and bath are located on the main level as is the second bedroom and a full bath. The second level has a loft bedroom with a full bath.

The living room has a new sectional couch with new double hide a bed.

The 6 acre lot is fully wooded with majestic cedars and pines. View wildlife visiting the back yard and enjoy a campfire in the fire pit next to the water.

Stressful check out, poor amenities, decent location

The house is nice however you have to cross a street to access the beach/ dock &fire pit which was stressful with kids when cars are zooming by. The rental agreement was impossible to find until after you make the non refundable purchase and it says you are responsible for washing the linens, cleaning the kitchen appliances fridge etc before check out at 10 am. Check in is at 4. All despite the cleaning fee you pay -this violates VRBO’s terms and conditions. Dog poop on the lawn as well. The rental agreement also says hand towels and body wash are provided however they were not and when I messaged the host he said only dish towels are provided (there is 1). I had to use the laundry machine at one point and there was barely any laundry detergent which I knew I had to save for check out/ linen washing. The nearest target/walmart is over 30 miles away so you can’t easily run out and find stuff. There is also no cell reception in this area until you drive away for a little bit. The kitchen is a collection of stuff no one wants but lacks practical things you actually need. 3 functional bowls but 9 super scratched up old non stick fry pans which are no longer non stick. Also 3 toasters and decorative bowls and plates which are not practical. The grill stopped working at one point and we were instructed just to change the propane take ourselves. We enjoyed our time here but the added stress and lack of amenities would prevent me from booking again.

Overall a very nice place, the listing and pictures are accurate.

We had a nice place at this property. When they say bring towels they mean all types of towels as there were not even hand towels in the bathroom or anything in the kitchen. There were not any cleaning supplies provided either. Wish the area by the water was a little more leveled off around the firepit. Overall it was a great place to stay, far from the hustle and bustle but close enough to anywhere you would want to go explore. I would definitely recommend the properties to others.

Peace, Tranquility, & Spectacular Views

This is what the 'quiet side' of Door County is all about. Tucked into the side of Boreal Forest while also facing the quiet shores of Spike Horn Bay, this home is absolutely majestic in every way! Spacious, windows everywhere, large decks & porches, and the BEST fireplace situation & Set up that we've every experienced.

Beautiful!

The home and location are beautiful! We spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying the nice weather, surrounded by the trees and gorgeous view of the water and Cana Island. Many amazing wildlife sightings, including a mature bald eagle! We appreciated being able to have our pups along with us, and my husband and son really appreciated the Starlink connection for getting some of their work done remotely in the mornings.

Door County Vacation

We had a great time at this property. We had 5 adults and an 18 month year old. The kitchen is well equipped and the dining area was more than adequate for us. The gas grill was a little dated, but worked very well. The bedrooms were comfortable and the family room accommodated us well. Our granddaughter loved the little nook under the stairs - it was her little spot. The water was right across the street and the sand beach was a short walk away. We've been renting cottages in Northern Wisconsin and wanted to try something a little different this year. Door County has always been a favorite and our kids hadn't been back there in 20 years. Our host Chris, was very responsive to questions we had before our stay as well as our checkout. Highly recommend this property!

Slice of heaven

The views from the front deck are absolutely beautiful. Despite the shoreline being too rocky for swimming, there is a beautiful beach less than 1/2 mile down the road. We watched gulls, turns, and pelicans from the property dock listening to all of the songbirds from the deck or screen porch . The layout of the home works beautifully for a group of 5. Could easily be comfortable for more. The owner is extremely pleasant to work with! Genuinely wants to assure people using the home are comfortable. This home was wonderful central location for going to different sightseeing and hiking sites in Door County.

Beautiful Location

We booked a last-minute getaway for Easter weekend. The location of this property is amazing, surrounded by forest and next to Lake Michigan on the “quiet side” of the Door. Although we were here in March and this didn’t spend any time sitting outside, the deck on the lake side and the fire pit and seating areas at the back of the house looked awesome. Great kitchen, plenty of room at the dining table, ample and comfy seating in the living room, and the beds were mostly comfortable (although the master bed could use a new mattress, as the current one has a downward slope from the middle to the side). Overall, we had a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
This is our third VRBO home in Door County as we have been in the vacation rental business for several years. The home was built in 1990 and is very comfortable and in good shape. We completed our major remodeling in 2017 that everyone is sure to love. It's exciting to transform an already very nice home into one you will be sure to remember when you come back to visit Door County again.

We continue to add upgrades each year such as new fishing kayaks, new fireplace, furniture pieces. We are always looking to make improvements so your next stay is even. more memorable.

Growing up in Door County, we have always loved the Cana Island area. There is amazing beauty in this unique location halfway between Sister Bay and Baileys Harbor. There are hundreds of acres of public hiking trails within walking distance of house and a boat launch less than a mile away.

We hope you enjoy your stay and look forward to providing you with a memorable stay.

Why they chose this property

We continually hear from our guests how much they love our home and that they plan to return. The location is great for relaxing, but close enough to all the activities around the county. Every year our dates fill up earlier and earlier. You will not be disappointed. Take some time and look over the reviews.

What makes this property unique

We love this area of Door County with its pristine shorelines, mature trees and abundant wildlife. Door County resembles the Atlantic Coast of New England with its rugged limestone shorelines and bluffs. This home is located away from all the noise and congestion of other areas yet is conveniently located to most activities of Door County in less than 10 minutes. We love outdoor activities such as going to the beach, hiking endless trails, kayaking or paddle boarding by the lighthouses and bays, world class King Salmon, Small-mouth Bass and trophy Walleye fishing, thrilling zip lining, golfing, awesome kiteboarding and its all right here without the noise and congestion of traffic. There is also very fine dining in all of the towns in Door County whether you like steaks and seafood, Italian or a Friday fish fry. Door County boasts several wineries as well as art and theatre entertainment. Every weekend there is a festival in one or more of the nearby towns. We find that one summer is not enough time to take it all in, but we love trying. We are very excited to be able to offer such a great property for you to enjoy your vacation at and we care about your visit being memorable.
