About this property
The Creek View Suite at Lily Bay Creek Homestead in the heart of Door County.
Welcome to the Creek View Suite at Lily Bay Creek Homestead! A peaceful spacious getaway on 40 acres along Lily Bay Creek in Door County. Centrally located, only 8 minutes to downtown Sturgeon Bay and 12 minutes to Jacksonport on Highway 57, you'll have easy access to all your Door County must-do's. Discover the Door County lifestyle with your own private suite surrounded by beautiful vistas of fields, wildflowers, wooded paths, wildlife sightings, roaming chickens and fabulous fungi.
The Creek View Suite is available for short-term vacation rental and accommodates up to 4 people. Located on the lower grounds of the property with a view of the woods and creek (April-July), the suite has a private entrance, parking for two standard vehicles. Free WIFI.
Lily Bay Creek is an ephemeral waterway that begins its flow in early April with the melting of snow and is also spring fed. At the homestead, the creek opens wide to create a large pond and as the summer progresses the pond plants absorb the water to become a wetland. By mid-July, the water is nearly entirely absorbed into a lush green zone. The creek and surrounding woods host a variety of wildlife including deer, coyote, sandhill crane, wood duck, ground fowl and even experiences an early spring sucker fish spawning.
It is the permanent residence of Helen del Guidice, who serves as the Curator of Exhibitions and Collections at Miller Art Museum in downtown Sturgeon Bay. Helen is also a practicing artist and the owner of Del Guidice Studio, an art studio and gallery located on the low grounds of the Homestead.

Very comfortable stay, loved watching the birds on the feeders! We were there on a work trip so didn’t have a lot of time to explore, but it was a great stay and the host was wonderful.
Very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the setting, ease of access, large deck, and the abundance of wildlife. The hostess was readily available and most gracious. We had an excellent time.
Helen was so kind to accommodate us last minute and share her beautiful home. Absolutely beautiful property, surrounded by nature and wildlife. Very comfortable, quiet, and relaxing atmosphere. As a bonus, we enjoyed seeing some of Helen’s stunning artwork!
We enjoyed this cozy VRBO which was close to many of the things that we wanted to do. We were able to enjoy Sturgeon Bay downtown area, the farmer's market, and visit many of the surrounding wineries.
Great, comfortable, quiet get away. And still close to everything!Clean, and with the extra items available that you may have forgotten at home. ( Toothbrush, floss, hand lotion in bathroom)Ketchup and mustard in the fridge.Easy check in and check out.
Very nice place, very spacious. Check in process was so simple. We did run into host when we got there. She was friendly and said if we needed anything just let her know. Will definitely come back again!!
We glad to stay in this property. We had all we needed for relaxing after walking in the parks and enjoying beach.
We’d like to recommend this property for our friends!
Thank so much, Helen.
Best regards

Beautiful location. Easy check in. I did not see in the listing that you are unable to control the thermostat but have to text the owner to change the thermostat. It was quite cool in the unit. The owner was responsive when contacted to make the change. The thermostat was set at 62 which seems a bit cool when expecting guests. Otherwise- it was great!
Overall the site and house fine, comfortable, and easy to locate. There are a couple of things that could be improved:1. Access to the house from the parking are is a challenge for people with mobility issues.2. Control of the ventilation system was upstairs with the owner.Other than those two things our time there was enjoyable and co for table.
It’s a lower level walkout apartment. The one bedroom has a great mattress. Slept like a baby. There is an open concept with a small kitchen, table and chairs, a sitting area with YV that has ROKU. WiFi. Out door spaces to sit and enjoy. Bathroom with shower and a 2nd bed at the other end of open area. The driveway is a little hard to see but that adds to the beautiful setting. Property manager was friendly and helpful. A nice clean and comfortable place. Loved it!
I’ve been visiting DC annually for about 6-7 years during the summer and finally made the leap to visit during fall to see the color. During our stay the weather turned rainy, cold and windy one day so we stayed in and played board games and card games all day. The large table easily accommodated all four of us. The space is very roomy and comfy so we never felt crowded. The electric stove really surprised me by how quickly the oven heated up when we heated up snacks during our game day. The wifi was awesome even with all four of us streaming at times. The grounds are just what I wanted, rural but not isolated. We met 3 out door kitties and a chicken while walking the grounds. There are extra touches like puzzles, some toiletries, and decor that were the cherry on top of a great weekend. Highly recommend.
Property is beautiful. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck and using the fire pit. Nice location to get to Sturgeon Bay and other areas of Door County.
What a wonderful hidden treasure! Helen ensured that check in/check out was a breeze. The unit had all the comforts of home and beautiful details throughout. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous. It’s private and just country enough while still being close to all Door County has to offer. We are already planning our next adventure and can’t wait to come back. We highly recommend booking your stay here.
We came to show our foreign exchange student Door County and it didn’t disappoint. The colors and weather were perfect. We had such a fantastic girls weekend!!
