The Refuge Log Home is nestled in a beautiful, wooded 5 acres across the street from Lake Michigan and is 4 miles east of Sister Bay in Northern Door County, WI. Listen to the waves from the home or take a short walk (300 ft) down the road to our private property with 100ft of shoreline. Enjoy the water from an Adirondack chair, a canoe or kayak, or wade right in! The wooded setting is quiet and sheltered and the lake may be viewed from the separate waterfront property. Have fun exploring the woods. Deer are frequently seen. if you're lucky, you might spot a turkey family, an owl, or the newly discovered porcupine that occasionally makes an appearance. Spend your evenings around the fire enjoying the incredible stars. The home is located on a peaceful dead-end street with light car and foot traffic. It is less than ten minutes to downtown Sister Bay, a wonderful town with fun shops and great restaurants to explore and enjoy. Sand Bay Beach is just five minutes away and the villages of Baileys Harbor, Ephriam and Fish Creek are close too. These two properties, woods and water, are the perfect getaway for family and friends! The open floor plan is spacious and comfortable. The whole family can gather around the stone fireplace. There are many cozy places to retreat to for some quiet relaxation. Enjoy the outdoors from the front porch or the screen porch in back. Or grab a book from the bookcase and head up to a window seat in an upstairs dormer for some quiet reading. The home has four private bedrooms, one on the main floor with a King size bed and three more upstairs. The large bonus room with three sky lights over the garage is perfect for movie nights or reading. The built-in bunks in the bunk room are always a thrill for kids! Please note that the 2nd floor bunk room does not have doors to close it off from common areas. The Refuge is a true retreat any time of year. Whether it's enjoying the long days of summer on the screen porch, the crisp Fall nights around the campfire, hunkering down on a cozy wintry night by the fire, or spotting the first sounds and sights of Spring, we sure you will enjoy your stay.

The house was beautifully secluded in woods and wildflowers. The property's private access to the lake just down the road from the house offered an awesome spot to sit and watch the water and the moonrise. The house was very spacious, the kitchen well stocked, and dining on the back enclosed porch pretty darn magical. Also appreciated the quality mattresses. ##### Deb S.

It's such a cozy home in a very quiet location, yet a short, beautiful drive to downtown Sister Bay. As a serious cook, I thought the kitchen was very well equipped, I always travel with my knife though. Charming touches throughout, and really loved the window over the kitchen sink that let in so many sounds of nature, and the great sunroom. Tons of space for the kids upstairs. The owners, Gary & Kitty, communicated wonderfully. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. ##### Kristin L.

The amount of kitchen supplies and other small necessities you would have never thought to bring, they had there for you. The lock for the cabin is very user friendly. The lighting is a little tricky but you get used to it. We did have to make 2 beds upstairs (queens) upon our arrival \[all the bedding was there, just not made\]. There is only 1 TV in the cabin and is upstairs in back room. Wish they had one in the main living space for background/ games or movies. This cabin will be a repeat booking cabin for a few of the ladies in the group with their families. We may turn this into our annual weekend away. Short drive to multiple locations. Our longest drive was 30 minutes and that was to the Wine Tour Trolley. ##### Liz U.

So much natural beauty and just a short drive into Sister Bay, Ellison Bay, and Rowleys Bay. The street has several other houses on it but the home itself is further back on the property so we never heard any noise from the neighbors and felt very secluded and private the whole time. Although the house is not on the water, you could hear Lake Michigan in the distance, which was lovely. The rental also includes beach/waterfront access just a short walk away. Our young kids loved exploring the backyard and the path to the lake! Despite not having any snow during our trip, the cabin itself had plenty of warm, cozy, winter vibes. We loved playing all of our favorite childhood games and checking out the collection of books in the main living space. Plenty of options for sleeping, good kitchen space, simple decor, excellent puzzle table. Everything we needed! We would definitely stay again. ##### Jenny H.

So close to all the shops/activities of Door County but also felt like we were camping in nature. The place had everything we needed plus so much more. Loved that it had puzzles, books and games available if the weather hadn’t cooperated. Enjoyed having coffee in the sun room. Would definitely recommend!!! ##### Marcia P.
