About this property

Waterfront 1 bedroom and loft cottage with small private pier on Garrett Bay

  • Walk out your front door (or sit inside) and enjoy views of Garrett Bay. Death's Door Bluff is to your left and Washington Island to your right. Your own small pier is directly in front of your own private retreat. First floor one bedroom/one bathroom with steps to a loft that has another sleeping area. There is outdoor sitting and viewing space both by the house and down on the pier. Boat tie ups on the pier for docking your day fishing/recreational boat (no overnight docking available). The cottage has a well equipped kitchen (refridgerator, range, toaster oven, coffee maker, electric skillet and gas grilll) and all the amenities for a quick vacation away from life (towels, beach towels, beach chairs, linens, paper products and soaps/shampoo). Pelicans fly in over the bay, fishing off the dock is best on the bay for bass, views cannot be beat. Gills Rock and ferries to Washington Island and the Shoreline restaurant are a mile around the bluff. Ellison Bay with restaurants, coffee shops and a well-stocked "Pioneer Store" is a short two miles away. Come enjoy one of the most beautiful bays in Door County!

Charming, private and quaint property nestled in the quiet Garrett Bay area. It felt like home the moment we walked in and booked two additional dates.

Wonderful

This place is great. Quiet and secluded with beautiful views and sunsets. Easy communication with the owner and no suprises. We had a great time and enjoyed fires by the lake and waking up to the sunrise over the lake.

Perfect communication with hostess - prompt replies bur not intrusive. Truly outstanding location right on the water. Quiet and secluded. Well appointed kitchen. Close to all the hiking and restaurants we love. Roomy enough. A shower with more flow would be very nice but probably can't be accommodated on a private septic system. Snug and warm in chilly weather. Good firewood provided for private fire ring.

Beautiful Location

My family of 3 (and our pup) had a wonderful time at this cottage. The access to the water and its location were awesome. Upon entering the cottage, the clean smell of bleach and disinfectant made me feel that great care was taken to make sure it was ready for us. Jen was a great host! I'd love to rent from her again in the future!

Door County lakeside

A totally charming cabin with a rare beach access with its own dock! It is a magical location, and the furnishings were eclectic and comfortable. The host lives nearby and was very friendly and responsive to any questions or concerns. It is the perfect combination of peaceful, out-of-the-way seclusion yet just minutes away from Sister Bay, the County's most cosmopolitan village.

Enjoyed the view, fishing, and the location. Recommend upgrading furniture and decor as it is dated and/worn. Pls identify or mark kayaks that are noted in the description so they can be used without disturbing others.

Very nice. Quiet neighborhood lovely view of the bay. Jen is a great host. My companion stated that the only thing he could find disappointing was that the furniture could use some up grading. The shower that I thought might be a problem was easy to figure out.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The cottage is in a beautiful location right by the lake, quiet, peaceful, and very relaxing.However, the space was a bit dusty overall. The kitchen is set up for cooking, which we appreciated, but the knives were extremely dull and difficult to use. If you plan on preparing meals, I recommend bringing your own kitchen knives.The property listing mentioned a grill, but when we went to use it, it was dirty and not usable, so we had to cook indoors instead.The beds were quite uncomfortable, and the bathroom has a pump system that requires you to pause your shower occasionally to let the water drain, which was inconvenient.It’s a nice place in a great location, but those small issues made it difficult to fully enjoy our stay.

Ok, but could be better

VRBO pictures did not do the property justice. Much more roomy than pictures show. Nicely furnished but needs upkeep for the money spent. Floor boards upstairs are rotting and have holes. Refrigerator froze items. Bin in refrigerator was low and opened from the bottom...hard to access. Knives provided were not sharp. TV is much too small and programming was not free. Hot water in the kitchen was not always available. Lighting could have been brighter. Couldn't light the outdoor grill. The place was airy and had lots of natural light. Good view of the water. Nice yard. Beds were comfortable. Linens were clean and soft. Communication with the owner was excellent!!
