We came to explore Caves Point and Whitefish Dunes State Park in the winter only a few miles away so the location was perfect. Also near by were all the wonderful little unique towns we love about Door County with fantastic eating options, shopping and wine tasting. After exhilarating winter hikes we came back to this cozy little cottage with the wood burning stove that offered a beautiful view of the lake. Clean, comfortable beds and all the wood we needed to keep the stove going we couldn’t have asked for more.

We loved how clean, cozy and quaint the cabin was, so many details to make our stay comfortable! We loved how quiet, peaceful and relaxing the cabin and yard were. Hearing the waves roll upon the rocks and the birds sing were truly music to our ears! The spot was so close to so many fun parks and beaches!

The Perfect Spot

The location was wonderful and not overly touristy but close to all the small towns on the Peninsula. The house was so creatively done and being right on Lake Michigan was such a treat. A perfect spot to unwind.

A great Door Co. get away

My teenage son & I had a wonderful time staying in this cozy cottage on Lake Michigan. We loved the quiet side, and the cottage was an excellent location for our adventures of hiking, swimming, and eating lobster rolls. We can't wait to make another visit and stay in this charming property again.

Wonderful Stay!

This precious cottage was a perfect stay for me and my mom. I highly recommend it and would stay here again! The view including the sunrises was amazing and we loved being so close to the water. This was our first time to Door County and probably won't be the last. It's a wonderful area and we enjoyed all the little towns and driving on the relaxing and calming backroads - great getaway from city life hustle and bustle! So glad we did this trip and didn't want to leave, a special place indeed!

This cabin is exactly as advertised and more! The view is gorgeous, especially the sunrises. Cabin is incredibly clean, nicely decorated, and comfortable. We stay in lots of vacation homes and this one ranks in the top 3 for sure! Location is really nice if you want to explore all of Door County. Owners were super nice and attentive. We would totally stay here again, and probably will.

A Taste Of Heaven

Our stay at the cottage was quiet, picturesque and beautiful. The cottage was so warm, cozy and comfortable. The sunrises were amazing and the wood burning stove was an added extra. We enjoyed many hikes and walks in Door County and the bars and restaurants were all excellent. Everyone that we met in the area and surrounding areas were very friendly. The scenery was awesome. We cannot say enough about this "Taste of Heaven. Serenity and nature and peace is what this stay meant to us.

Amazing cabin

Stayed for a long weekend, amazing place! Cute, clean, well organized. Only complaint was iffy/spotty internet, made watching tv in evening very difficult. While we wanted to unplug to a certain extent, would have been nice to know ahead of time, it wouldn’t deter me from happily renting Cedar point cabin again in future. We will be back!!!

Winter Getaway!

This was the perfect winter getaway. We were lucky to get snow on our first day which made the whole experience magical. The lake is just a few feet away & had a breath taking view. We enjoyed sitting on the couch while having the fire going and listening to the waves. I would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the lake even more. The location was perfect, it’s within 10 mins of major stores and for the longer drives we had very scenic roads. We loved having access to a stove and fridge since we wanted to cook a few meals ourselves. I would 100% recommend this place!

Cottage charm

We've been coming to Door County off and on for almost 40 years, so we knew the location would be wonderful, in the trees, on the lake, on a wooded road leading to great biking and hiking. But this place! First, the cottage was the perfect size, now that it's just two of us. And then...The design! The quality! The decor! The pristine clean! The shed for our bikes! The lovely outdoor space on the lake. The big and small touches everywhere! Just charming. Everything we needed for our week in Door County. Thanks, Becca!

Can’t wait to come back!

From the great communication with the property, owner, Becca, to the location and actual cabin.. we were blown away. The little red cabin is so cute, clean, and charmingly Cozy! We loved it. It was a perfect getaway for my husband and I with our new baby boy. Waking up looking at the water and hearing the calm sound of the waves was my favorite part. You cannot be this location and the views— also was an easy drive to every place we visited, plus we really enjoyed the privacy of this lot. The only thing we wish the house had that it did not was closets in the bedrooms, even a small one would have nice. This wasn’t a deal breaker for us. All the other well thought out details more than made up for it! Thank you- we hope to come back one day.

Serene Surroundings

Loved the location on Lake Michigan! Spent a lot of time in the chairs by the water taking in the peacefulness- listening to the birds and critters. One daughter and husband braved the fairly cold water temps to go floating - quite shallow for quite a ways out. Fire chimney was also fun to enjoy in the evening. Used the grill to make lunch two days and sat at the picnic table to enjoy the view. The inside space has everything you need for a weekend or week-long stay. Pictures represented the space perfectly - super cute! Only regret was bringing too much stuff from home as space is limited. Didn’t realize until looking under the bed as we were packing up that there was a luggage rack under there :) We also enjoyed the cottage location - close to so many great places to explore in Door County. Thank you to the host Becca for excellent communication prior to our trip answering all my questions.
