About this cabin rental

Step Back in Time: A Lovingly Restored 1938 Log Cottage in Sister Bay

Welcome to your perfect Door County getaway! Originally built by a Norwegian immigrant in 1938, our historic log cabin has been lovingly restored to blend vintage charm with modern, fresh amenities. If you are looking for an authentic, cozy, and unforgettable Wisconsin retreat, you have found it.

The Perfect Location: Walk to Town, Retreat to Peace
Nestled along highly desirable Bay Shore Drive, you get the absolute best of both worlds:
A 5-Minute Stroll into Sister Bay: Leave your car behind! You are just a short, scenic walk from the vibrant local beach, marina, waterfront park, charming boutiques, coffee shops, and iconic restaurants.
A Quiet Sanctuary: After a day of exploring, retreat to your private, peaceful cabin to unwind, listen to the breeze, and truly relax.
Central to Everything: Want to explore the rest of the peninsula? We are centrally located, making Ellison Bay, Gills Rock, Ephraim, Fish Creek, Egg Harbor, and Baileys Harbor an easy 5 to 20-minute drive away.

Cozy Comforts & Thoughtful Spaces
This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage is fully equipped with everything you need for a seamless and relaxing stay:
Main Level: Features a cozy bedroom, a bright and open family/dining area perfect for board games or movies, a fully equipped kitchen for home-cooked meals, and a pristine bathroom.
Upstairs: A spacious, whimsical bunkroom that kids (and kids-at-heart) will absolutely love.

Year-Round Comfort: We welcome guests through all four beautiful seasons! With whole-house heating and central air conditioning, you’ll be perfectly cozy whether you're watching the autumn leaves fall or coming inside from a winter hike.

Outdoor Living at Its Best
Our favorite feature is the expansive wrap-around deck and front yard. Your daily itinerary here looks like this:
Morning: Sip fresh coffee on the front deck as the morning sun hits the trees.
Afternoon: Fire up the grill for a relaxed lunch on the back deck.
Evening: Pour a glass of wine and watch the spectacular Door County sunset over the bay.
Night: Gather around the fire pit for s'mores, storytelling, and unforgettable stargazing.

Great location! Beautifully restored cabin. Great for our dog. Walking distance to Sister Bay. Very clean and nice amenities. Our host was excellent with communication on everything we needed. Great parking behind the cabin. Bedroom and kitchen were really nice. A really nice fire pit - didn't get a chance to use it this trip but would definitely take advantage of it on future trips. Hope to get back to Door County again this year. Would definitely stay here again!!

Such a quaint cabin, and in a great spot! We were looking for a place that was pet-friendly, as we were traveling with our two dogs; there was a pet bin waiting for pet necessities, which was a nice bonus even though not expected. Chocolates and a Door County bottle of wine waiting in the kitchen. Host was very easy to get in touch with and communicated everything we needed to know for our stay. We were able to walk to most places that we wanted to visit in Sister Bay, and any other spots we wanted to go were within a 4 to 15 minutes drive. Couldn't have asked for a better location. We traveled with two of our children, ages 15 and 10, and were able to watch anything we wanted on the TV from March Madness to movie night. We recommend this place to anyone looking to visit Door County with 5 or less people, it's a great find. Pros: location, ample parking/driveway, stocked kitchen for any basics you may need including Door County coffee, stocked bathroom for any basics you may need, quiet, great host.Things to be aware of (but not changing our rating of the cabin, we'd definitely return): floors are very creaky so you can hear when/where anyone is in the cabin, at all times of the day, the main bedroom has a very low bed, bathroom stall shower is VERY small (adults are 5'7" and 5'11", smaller builds) and our heads almost hit the shower head and space is tight.

Everything about our stay was fantastic. Loved the cottage, and communication with the owner was flawless. Would definitely stay here again!

It was cute, but way to expensive for a cabin with no closets, especially in the main bedroom and only one small bathroom if you had more than two people staying there.
