3 Bedroom, 2 bath cottage on the shores of Garrett Bay with private beach

The Fleetwing cottage is a charming beach cottage with a private dock during the summer months right on the shore of peaceful Garrett Bay. Named the Fleetwing after the shipwreck by that name that is right off your private pier The Fleetwing cottage is tucked in a private, setting with beautiful views of Door Bluff. The Fleetwing is completely remodeled with 3 bedrooms (one with air-conditioning) and 2 baths, also super fast internet access, an ideal vacation home for a large family. A magnificent fireplace makes cool evenings a pleasure, or enjoy eating outside on the stone patio. There is a private dock (summer season) for sunning, swimming or enjoying sunsets, also a firepit on the beach for evening fires. Pets and kids are welcome! You are a bluff away from Gills Rock and great eating at the Shoreline or a ferry ride to Washington Island. Ellison Bay is a 3 minute drive away with coffee shops, Pioneer store and three restaurants offering curbside or outdoor and indoor eating.

I am a "repeat customer" and I once again enjoyed a nice stay at the Fleetwing. It's exactly what I want and need when I come to Door County -- quiet, on the water, and off the beaten path. Plenty of parks and natural areas within a short-ish drive. The host, Jen, is easy to get in touch with, but I rarely have the need. I hope to come back again.

Everything was great and the location and everything was beautiful. We had some mishaps and the owner was very friendly and worked with us on resolving everything. Our mishaps were to our own accord. She was great and the house was maintained and cleaned very well. We happened to see her cleaning another rental and she was thorough, giving us a lot of assurance to the cleanliness of our rental.

We loved our stay. The cabin has a beautiful view of the lake. Although it felt very private and secluded it was a short drive to Sister Bay. We were very comfortable.

Great views of Garrett Bay (In Lake Michigan)! Interesting one-level cottage, so no stairs. Comfortable beds and plenty of supplies (toilet paper, salt & pepper, zip-lock bags, towels, firewood, etc). Hostess was very responsive to requests.

Great place to stay with a beautiful view

We like the "quieter" side of door county when we stay. This is a great place to stay right on the lake. Super quiet and convenient for the 2 dogs we brought. 5 minutes away from Sister Bay. We will definitely stay again. Great host! Quick with answers to questions.

Family Memories Made

The cottage is so cozy. The outdoor space is beyond amazing, we spent almost all our time outside. A fire pit, beachfront, and pier allowed us to make so many memories. And family game nights at the kitchen table were a hit! The cottage was exactly as pictured and did not disappoint at all!! We definitely hope to be back next year.

Wonderful Stay

What else can I say other than I love Door County and I love staying at this property. The Fleetwing is a nice quaint cottage, literally on the shore of Lake Michigan. Being close to the water is a must-have when I stay in Door County, and this year I was entertained by watching some pretty amazing waves. The area is quiet and there are lots of options close by for enjoying nature (another must-have for me). Jen is a great host and I hope to stay at the Fleetwing again!

Lake serenity

We were looking for a place that would remind us of the quiet of the cabin in Canada owned by our family. This location nailed it. Quiet location, gorgeous view, loons, ducks, deer. A wonderful opportunity to decompress away from hubub of life, but civilization was only a short drive away. The host helped us resolve a typo on the VRBO typo. We are planning to use this location again.

Perfect Location!

The property owner was very communicative and friendly. We were drawn to the property by the lakefront access and it did not disappoint. There were kayaks for guest to use so we spent the afternoon kayaking and hanging out by the pier. For the price, it was really a great deal. We also loved that the property felt secluded but was a short drive to the Sister Bay action. I highly recommend this property if you are looking to connect with nature and still have access to all the fun things Sister Bay has to offer.

Peaceful getaway

It was so peaceful to wake up to waves rolling in from the lake. The house was a perfect set-up for myself and my adult granddaughter who was celebrating her 23rd birthday. Jen was very helpful and communicative and gave me some good advice about the restaurant I intended to visit for a birthday dinner. Fall at the tip of Door County is beautiful and we enjoyed every minute. My granddaughter would like to come back next year with her friends!

Garrett Bay Cottage

The view is spectacular. We saw pelicans and egrets. You will need the insect repellent Jen makes available. In the evening what appears to be biting flies come out. We were still able to make s’mores. Jen was quick to respond to my questions. There was plenty of room for five adults and a six year old. Fleetwing cottage is exactly as described.

We had multiple friends stay so we all had a bed and the two full bathrooms was a life saver to get ready in! The location is perfect for keeping a peaceful trip in Door County off the busier areas.
