About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Outdoor dining, huge yard, free firewood, prime sunset, and all season fishing!

Porch Time is a perfect gathering space for couples, families, and friends looking to enjoy a comfortable new house with unique outdoor spaces and "perfect sunset views" of Little Sturgeon Bay from the massive covered porch that spans the entire length of the house or through large glass doors in the great room and bedrooms. The house is easily accessible with 36" doors all on 1 level and is well equipped with all linens, towels, soaps, spices, games, puzzles, TV, and reliable WiFi.

Only 45 minutes from Green Bay and 15 to Sturgeon Bay.

The modern kitchen with large island overlooks the great room and is perfect for food prep and conversation. All the pots, pans, utensils, and casseroles are provided as well as a well stocked coffee bar with a coffee maker, ground coffee, filters, and a grinder. The great room comfortably accommodates TV watching or game playing on the ornate coffee table and seating for 8 at the dining room table.

We can accommodate 6 adults comfortably in the 3 bedrooms. 2 bedrooms have queen beds and the master suite has a king bed. The master suite also has a full sized futon AND a set of twin sized bunk beds in over sized walk in closet. Both the futon and the bunk beds work great for kids, but can accommodate adults as well. We also have a queen size mattress under the king bed available which can be placed in the great room or in the master suite. Bedroom 2 also has a twin sized futon that comfortably accommodates 1 person.

The covered porch highlights the property. You can spend an entire day here in the comfortable patio furniture watching the boats and wildlife, eating your meals, sampling from your cooler, and then enjoying the setting sun. Grill up your food on the gas grill (with propane provided) and eat at the glass topped table.

There is also a protected sitting area outside the front entrance for days when there's a strong wind off the lake.

In the large yard, you can enjoy sun or shade (there is plenty of each!), play any of the provided yard games, enjoy volleyball or badminton (net is set up May -October), commune around the large fire pit (wood provided), hang out in one of the provided hammocks, or simply relax on the waterfront.

A seawall protects the waterfront with large rocks in the water and a flat, lighted walkway on the house side. The walkway provides an incredible vantage point for the expansive views of the bay.

You can easily access the water through an opening in the wall. We provide 2 kayaks, an inflatable stand up paddle board, and other items to enjoy the water. There are stairs crafted from large rocks leading into the water and is shallow but rocky and there are weed patches. The swimming here is great!

You may also use the 2 car attached garage and garage door openers.

Looking for 4 bedrooms? Check out our other property Peaceful Shores Door County (property ID 1198300)

Fantastic area with hiking, restaurants, golf, biking, county and state parks, boating, fishing, shopping, farms, orchards, all close Sturgeon Bay, Door County's largest and most vibrant city. There is also a friendly bar with great food and incredible views across the street! Check it out, it's called Sunset on Riley's Point.

Head to Sturgeon Bay and don't miss the Saturday morning Farmer's Market in summer and fall! Throughout the year, you can stroll through downtown and enjoy great shopping, food, and drinks. Be sure to walk across the steel bridge and enjoy the great views of nature, yachts, industry, and the wonderful collection of people that live in and visit this special place.

Viewing the North Pierhead lighthouse by walking out on the break wall jutting into Lake Michigan on the north side of the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal can make for a memorable experience and should not be missed. This may be the more photogenic place in all of Door County!

Don't miss Potawatomi State Park if you are looking for mountain biking, a boat launch, an invigorating hike (Hemlock Trail) or a challenging ski when there is snow.

Looking for a beach? Head to Haines County Park, just 2 miles away. The sand, sun, and water can not be beat here. This is a real Door County treasure!

Of course, you can always head north of Sturgeon Bay if you are looking for more shopping, dining, hiking, and beautiful shorelines.

Rileys Point is situated between Rileys Bay and Little Sturgeon Bay. We say “get to The Point!” meaning Rileys Point. Once you’ve been to The Point, you’ll understand what makes this area, and especially this property, very special.

Great stay by the bay
At this property, youll want for nothing. All very well appointed, everything you need and an amazing view. Thoughtful to have not only plastic dishes for children but also picnicware to use if needed. Really, everything you need is at the house. The area was quiet for our visit and should be at high season because it is away from the main area. Enjoy!

Nice stay
Nice house on the water. Weather wasn’t great so we couldn’t enjoy the outside amenities (long shot for March) but we all enjoyed ourselves and appreciated the cleanliness. Would go back in warmer weather.

A great place to call home while visiting Door County
Property is as advertised. Clean and modern with great views of the bay. The sunsets are amazing! Fully stocked kitchen with plenty of dishes and utensils for cooking. The owner supplied plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, soaps etc for the week we were there. Also plenty of towels. This property is pet friendly which was a big plus for us as well! The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Easy access to all you want to take in. A quick drive into Sturgeon Bay where you’ll find some great restaurants and coffee shops. Overall a great place to call home while you’re visiting Door County!

Great peaceful location with FUN amenities
We used the property both as our Door County home base as well as enjoying time at the property using provided amenities (fire pit - saucer tree swing - kayak - paddle board - badminton - bocce ball - grilling dinners). Our 3 generation group of 3 small families totaling 10 people fit nicely with the 3 bedrooms. It was our first time to Door County so we had a lot on our wish list of things to do. Location in Rileys bay / Little Sturgeon bay was peaceful and very minimal boating and calm waters with plenty of pelicans to watch keeping us amused.

Great Lake get away
The property was very nice and well stocked. It was nice for only 5 days to have enough things like toilet paper and paper towels. Kitchen was well stocked with pans and such and plenty of firewood stacked outside for fire pit. The location was a little remote but we liked that and choose it knowing that. The only issue we had at all was the sink water smelled like rotten eggs. Not sure if that is a area thing or not but it was very off putting and we just used bottled water except for showers. Overall was very happy, owner was very responsive and easy to deal with.

Family Time
The house was very clean and well-appointed. We had everything we needed at the house so we could relax and play cards and games. Wish the weather was better,-the fire pit looked amazing! -We'll have to try that next time. Beds were comfortable and the view was spectacular.
