What a view

Our cottage provided a breathtaking view of Green Bay and even included the sound of waves to lull us to sleep. Fall colors were at their peak and we loved the forest around the cottage.

Perfect location for a couples weekend away

Loved this property! From the dog-friendliness, to the bike access, and of course, sunsets over the lake. I definitely recommend for a weekend retreat of rest and relaxation. While, as noted, there is no WiFi, there is a smart tv with streaming available for entertainment. The location is just a short drive to anything you would want to see in Door county.

Beautiful view

Nice quiet location. Not too far of a drive from all door county towns. Especially liked that we had wifi service. Nice new tv. Galley kitchen and small bathroom but much nicer than a motel and the water front view and fire ring is the main attraction.

Breathtaking views

This was such a cute little cottage. Perfect for our group of 4. Beds were comfortable. Everything was visually pleasing. Well stocked. Owner took the time to fill planters with spring flowers. Area was quiet and peaceful . Wasn’t too far from the town where there were lots of cute little shops and bars. And the sunset views were stunning!! Didn’t like how far out of the way we had to drive to check in but that was a minor detail. Would definitely stay again.

Nostalgic Getaway

As a kid we came up to Door County every summer and stayed in a family owned cottage in Baileys Harbor. The location and view of this cottage were spectacular but it is very small. If it rains and you’re stuck inside like I was, it can be quite uncomfortable. The furniture is small and uncomfortable as well. Ideally when you come to DC you’re out and about most of the time. In that case this is a perfect place to rest and relax between “outings.”

Spectacular Location

These three cabins sit right on Green Bay at Little Harbor. The view is amazing. Our labrador retriever had plenty of time swimming. There isn't a beach, but it is possible to walk down some smaller rocks to the water (bring your water shoes!) The bay is shallow and most of the tijme calmer than the surrounding water. The dock is not sturdy enough for boats. We stayed at Starboard Cottage. It's a vintage cabin, with a small kitchen and microwave, coffeemaker, toaster, stove, refrigerator, counter with two stools, dishes, pots and pans, and utensils. The living room has been renovated and has a sofa and two chairs, tv and fireplace. The bedrooms have one full-sized bed and one dresser each, with a rack to hang clothes. The bathroom has a shower and plenty of nice towels and supplies. The cottage was clean and comfortable. There are four adirondack chairs outside, a table and chairs with umbrella, a fire ring and a charcoal grill. We enjoyed sunsets, campfires, star-gazing, and watching the boats and pelicans. We even saw a mink running around on the rocks. The cabin is right on Bay Shore Drive, but sheltered from the road by trees and in a quiet area. It's a bit of a drive (or a nice bike ride) into town, but we liked it that way. There is access to hiking up the bluff nearby. Route 42 is a short drive away. We had an amazing vacation here, and we'll be back!

Great location! The sight and sound of the waves right outside the cottage was definitely the highlight of this stay. Clean and quaint cottage had all we needed to get by. The staff we spoke with were excellent! It was far enough out of town to be peaceful but close enough to be able to zip in for anything. If you're brining your pup, know that there are three dog parks on the peninsula where they can run free. Our Zula slept well!
Saw the Northern Lights during a snow squall a few miles before we reached the cottage on the first night.

We had a great time for our anniversary with the fireplace, lapping waves, and fresh air. The cabin was cozy, had plenty of room, and the amenities you need. We would definitely go again. It was a wonderful space.

Cozy cottage, perfect for a short friends getaway. The water is just a few feet away, and the sound of the waves lulled us to sleep at night. Awesome sunsets.

The cabin was nice but much smaller than we expected. There wasn’t an indoor dining area, which wasn’t mentioned in the listing. The beds were probably the most uncomfortable beds we’ve encountered while at a VRBO. Because of the tight living area, no indoor dining area (which was challenging during the rain while we were there), and the uncomfortable beds, we chose to cut our stay short and leave a day early.
