ON THE WATER - Best Sand Beach in Door County!
The cottage doesn't look like much from the OUTSIDE. Please take a close look at the pictures on the inside. My mother and father built this Log Cabin in 1950 on the 'Quiet Side' of Door County near the borderline of the Whitefish Dunes State Park. As you look out the windows you will see beautiful Lake Michigan along with white birch trees, an assortment of evergreen trees, the sand dunes. The beautiful Sand Beach begins at your door. The sand on the beach is so clean that it 'squeaks' when you walk on it. You will absolutely love our beach! Relax and build sandcastles with your kids. The water is very clean and the drop off is very gradual - ideal for kids of any age.
The furniture in the log cabin has been updated and is very comfortable. The bathroom is very small BUT there is a "dressing room" adjacent with plenty of counter space and an additional sink and mirror. In September 2018 all the mattresses were replaced with new ones.
Due to COVID-19 all members of our cleaning service have received additional training in enhanced cleaning and disinfecting. For more information regarding our enhanced cleaning click this link - https://www.homeaway.com/discoveryhub/tips-and-resources/improve-performance/covid-19-cleaning-tips.

Amazing!
Literally the best place on the water. You have to see it to believe it.
We had the most peaceful wonderful time with our dogs.
Morning walks along the beach.
Coffee with the sunrise.
Wine with the sunset.
The cabin had everything you would need to enjoy a relaxing stay.
The owners are wonderful and were very accommodating and friendly.
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
We already booked a week for next summer and will continue to do so every year .

Amazing beach
This beach spot is just amazing- the sand, chairs to relax and read and watch the sunrise. The energy in the house feels relaxed and welcoming.
Fred was a gracious host and we will definitely be back.

Cozy family cottage in perfect location!
The cottage was perfect and as-described, with many cool artifacts from the property-owners family! The location was perfect for star-gazing and walking on the beach. It was chilly when we stayed, but I bet the swimming is fantastic during the summer! The property owner was very responsive and accommodating. Would absolutely stay again!

Perfect Beach Get-Away
After leaving Chicago on a Friday afternoon, full of traffic frustrations it was amazing to drive-up to the cabin, get out of the car and see an amazing beach in front of me. True "wow".
The cabin is rustic and reminded me of summer days as a child at my parents cottage, the atmosphere of the cabin is awash with fond memories and joy. I loved my stay and it was a perfect get-away from the city for a weekend.
The beach is amazing, I could have sat and watched the water forever and walked up and down the coastline all day too.
The host is so nice, and was super easy and a delight to interact with.

Quaint Beachside Cabin
Lovely beach getaway! The vintage cabin, full of love and memories, and beachside, dog friendly access made our stay. We would love to find our way back here in the near future.
As an fyi, this is not the right accommodation for those looking for a glamorous stay away, but if you appreciate the days of old and the love of family, this is the place for you. The upstairs loft / bedroom area is spacious, but the stairs are steep so keep that in mind. There is also a downstairs bedroom which is quite comfortable.
