About this property
Door County's Chalet On The Shore
Our home is set on a quaint piece of Door County's shoreline. Just steps from the waters of Sturgeon Bay, its location is very private, yet convenient to the city. The Chalet was built by my father in law, who spent his life working as a shipbuilder in Sturgeon Bay. Much of the structure is constructed with wood from ships dating back to the building of mine-sweepers during World War II. We've worked hard to try and update the home without losing its true uniqueness.
The Chalet hosts 3 bedroom-2 baths. With its distinctive structure, the cathedral ceilings present an open concept living/dining room area plus a newly remodeled kitchen with upgraded appliances. Captains Quarters- The upstairs loft including a balcony provide the master with a king bed and en suite bathroom. The balcony adds extra sleeping with a futon. On the main floor there are 2 bedrooms & a shared full bath. Queens Stateroom-Has a bed fit for a Queen. Also a Pack & Play and an air mattress are in this bedroom closet. Crews Quarters- Supplied with 4 twin beds (1-Bunk Bed & 1-Trundle Bed), to accommodate added guests. As well as the toddler rail for one of the twin-beds. Full-size laundry facilities are tucked in the closet of this room. Also a Queen Sleeper Sofa is located in the shared living room on the main floor.
From the Chalet's large patio you will enjoy the early morning sunshine peaking from the east and the evenings captivating colors lighting up the surrounding bay. We hope you take pleasure in its unique hidden setting and think you're going to love the charm of our shoreside retreat.
Located in Sturgeon Bay, this holiday home is in the city centre and on the waterfront. Potawatomi State Park and Door 44 Winery are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those looking for area attractions can visit Third Avenue PlayWorks and Door County Maritime Museum. Travelling with kids? Consider The Garden Door and The Farm. Take in the nearby slopes with cross-country skiing and skiing, or try out other outdoor activities such as snowmobiling and sledging.

We really enjoyed our stay. The chalet is beautiful and exactly what you would want for a relaxing time. Beautiful views and comfortable beds. Well done all around!
The Chalet by the Lake did not disappoint. It's as pictured, very clean, and in a wonderful location. The view is awesome. Our hosts were wonderful - great communication. They made our stay easy. Would highly recommend!
The Chalet was perfect! The location, the cleanliness, the amenities, the view, the hosts and the house itself.
We we will definitely be back for another stay at the chalet… hopefully soon!!
We had a wonderful stay at the Chalet on the lake. The host thought of everything! The Chalet was perfect for our family and friends. There were great view and easy access to all the Door County offers. We will definitely be staying here again!
This property is amazing! The house was perfect for our family of six. Jennifer and Brian have provided everything down to the smallest detail. We had many trips up into Door County and quiet evenings on the deck watching the most beautiful sunsets. Thank you Jennifer and Brian for sharing your amazing Chalet on the Shore…can’t wait to come back.
After 32 years, my husband and I returned to Door County with my son's family for a week of family fun. The Chalet on the Shore was the perfect home for all of us. With young children from 1-8, there were activities available for all, from playing yard games to fishing off the dock and kayaking. Our hosts could not have been more accommodating and we look forward to making this a new annual family tradition.
Fabulous Stay - the vacation home on the shore with everything, great location, excellent hosts
We loved our stay at the Chalet on the Shore. Jennifer & Brian have made this vacation home away from home perfect. It is stocked with everything - bikes, kayaks, row boat, fishing gear, marshmallow sticks, guidebooks, info, locale-specific amenities - amazing!
The loving care and detail put into this place makes it a unique and special place to stay. From its history, built by Brian's father, who was a shipbuilder, to the purposeful renovation and Jennifer's special touches in all of the little design & fun details, everything available you might need or even just instructions on how to find or operate stuff; all taken care of in a beautiful, private, safe, clean place.
My husband and I work hard and travel a bit so our stay was a needed break for 6 days. We looked through 100s(!) of properties for the right Midwest, Northeast, or Southeast cottage, cabin, or small house that would provide both respite and enough activities/mild adventures in a location that wasn't too far from a major airport.
The location was perfect, about 54 minutes from Green Bay's airport, located 8-10 minutes from Sturgeon Bay's restaurants/shops, and part of Door County. We visited many of the national parks and drove quite a bit of the county. The restaurants were great, the people were nice, the weather was a little cold, but warming up. My husband did his HAM radio on property and participate in Parks On The Air and I was able to paint & draw.
We will be back! Mahalo, Jennifer & Brian!
You couldn't find a more perfect spot to put your boat and go fishing. You're on the channel and you have options to go to the lake or to the Bay it was perfect. The yard was nice and big to play with the dogs and the kids. The views were wonderful. The house was very cozy and clean we really enjoyed our stay. A very quiet neighborhood which was greatly appreciated. The decor was very nicely done. We were on a dead end street so really no traffic.We needed nothing more. The Kayaks and yard games were a big hit with the kids, they loved it.
Had a wonderful 4 days at the chalet! The property was beautifully decorated, nice amenities for outdoor activities and great location to explore Door County. We would like to plan another trip soon!
This place is awesome! So charming and well-kept! Excellent location - the view is amazing and so close to everything in Sturgeon Bay. Communication with the host was excellent - We will be back here again for sure!
It was wonderful and the Chalet was even better than anticipated. Jennie and Brian were terrific hosts and the Chalet was the perfect vacation spot. Something for everyone.
Everything about this chalet is perfect. The hosts have gone above and beyond and have thought of everything you would need. We spent 2 weeks here and fell in love! Thank you for sharing your chalet with us.
Great location, beautiful views, not for swimming though
We had a great time as a location for a extended family vacation. Sunsets were superb! Bummed the swimming was not possible at the location but kayak and SUP was great!
We had a great time! Property is very clean and has everything we needed! Beautiful view, peaceful and very relaxing! Jennie was available and answered right away if we had any questions. Great getaway and we look forward to staying again!!
The views, location, amenities and a fully stocked kitchen for cooks made this a wonderful family vacation! The hosts did a fabulous job in providing everything you could want in a vacation rental. Highly recommend booking this chalet!!! Thank you again sharing your home with us.
Our family stayed here during our teenager’s fall break. The chalet was wonderful. Very clean and comfortable. The chalet is stocked with tons of activities for both indoor and outdoor use. I spoke to Jennie a few times and she gave us great ideas for things to do in the area.
Updated, clean, and comfortable house right on the water
We had a wonderful stay in this house. We had great access to the water and were able to swim right off the doc with our large dog. The kitchen and grill had plenty of room and supplies for us to cook our meals. The yard and patio were great for relaxing and eating meals with a view of the water.
We had a wonderful stay! Thank you Jennie and Brian!
Loved the location. Right on the water at the end of dead end. Dogs could roam freely and enjoy the water at their will. Easy access to the downtown of Sturgeon Bay. Easy day trips to anywhere in Door County. Very clean and well kept home.

Charming lakefront home with plenty of amenities
This cozy bay front home made our first trip to Door County truly memorable. We appreciated the many thoughtful items offered at the house that made it comfortable. Our family enjoyed sunset picnics overlooking the water, leisure bike rides on country roads, napping on the hammock, fishing, boating, kayaking and more. There really was something for everyone and we couldn’t have asked for a better summer getaway experience.
This place is amazing, but I’d kinda like to keep it a secret ;) So cozy, clean and very well kept. The owners thought of everything! No need to travel further north as we prefer a somewhat rustic less commercialized area yet near everything we need from groceries to a quaint downtown to sandy beaches and boat rentals. It was perfect for our family and we intend to return.
What makes the Chalet truly special are all the little touches and details. This is a warm home with breathtaking views. Everything to make a house a home you will find here. This is a family home that deserves all the memories you can share with it. Jennie is awesome. A truly special find that deserves the respect from all who visit.
