We are Pet Friendly, a place where Dogs Stay for Free. Off the beaten path, at the end of a quiet dead-end road, our family has welcomed guests for 87 seasons. We genuinely appreciate your interest in staying in one of our eight individual and unique cottages filled with the modest comforts and serenity a body, mind and spirit needs. ↟↟↟ Nestled into the Idlewild the woods and surrounded by towering oak trees, pines and lush natural flora-this listing is for Woodland Home, the largest inland cottage at Robertson’s Cottages-located a quick thirty second walk from the water's edge. Upon entry into Woodland home you will discover a large and airy screened in porch, splendid for jovial times with friends or curling up with a good book. The screened porch is also home to bunk beds for outdoor sleeping during the warmer summer and early autumn nights. Adjoining the porch is a large living room finished in pine paneling which contains a humble and efficient wood burning stove, a sleeper sofa (among other furnishings) for extra guests, a fully furnished kitchen, a dining room, and a breakfast bar perfect for warm buttery pancakes and scrumptious coffee scented mornings. Adjoining the dining area is a modest modern bathroom with a tub and shower, two bedrooms with queen beds, attractive rustic furnishings and refreshing and rejuvenating views of the natural surroundings.↟↟↟ Guests of Robertson’s Cottages have access to our spacious permanent pier (8ft x 120ft), protected moorings with finger piers, boat slips, a canoe, row boats, paddle boards, life jackets, communal fire pit, laundry room, library, sauna, play structure with two swings and a slide, picnic tables, tether ball, safe sandy beach, swim raft, and charcoal grills. Our free WiFi service is excellent. All cottages are furnished with a Smart Television. Idlewild is located at the juncture of the waters of Green Bay, Sturgeon Bay and Sawyer Harbor. The rejuvenating scent of the forest, the pristine waters and the closeness with nature makes it easy to take a break from the cares you left behind. Directly across the harbor from Robertson’s you will see the steep, densely wooded bluff of Potawatomi State Park. The 1,225 acre sanctuary is perfect for bicycling, bird watching, hiking, observing native Door County flora and fauna, picking wild berries in season and picnicking. The park is open year round from 6am-11pm. ↟↟↟ As nature changes the landscape in the spring, the woods become blanketed with white trillium. Life unearths gradually and proceeds swiftly this time of year in Idlewild. Nearby apple and cherry orchards bloom in late May and walleye fishermen quietly troll the harbor every night. With over 300ft of shoreline, a historical and spacious permanent pier (8ft x 120ft), and protected moorings with finger piers and boat slips, Robertson’s is a gem of a place for boat, fishing and nature lovers alike. In autumn, the view across the protected water of Sawyer Harbor is spectacular. One can observe the slowly changing panorama of colors and feel the refreshingly crisp fall air settle deeply in your lungs. The fresh, sun-warmed days and water-cooled nights are sure to make you feel stronger in body and soul. ↟↟↟ If activity is what you enjoy, there is a challenging eighteen hole golf course located at the entrance to Idlewild. You may also have interest in a day trip to the more populated areas of the county where you may indulge in village shopping, delight in local festivals, or flavor locally crafted beer or wine at one of the various craft breweries and wineries. One of our personal favorite activities, perfect for any age, is embarking on an afternoon adventure up the peninsula for a picnic and evening musical at Northern Sky Theater located in Peninsula State Park. Their incredible outdoor venue and all original productions are sure to fill your hearts with joy and wonder.↟↟↟ Whether you are bicycling the winding, wooded, back country roads, taking an invigorating morning meander or cozy sundown voyage by boat to nearby historic Sherwood Point Lighthouse, or are curled up with a favorite book on the dock or in front of the fireplace, the closeness with nature and time spent with your closest loved ones at Robertson’s Cottages at Idlewild will leave a genuine and lasting impression in your hearts.↟↟↟ Long time visitors and passing through vacationers alike are regularly heard describing Robertson’s as their ‘happy place’, their ‘home in Idlewild’ or, ‘a little slice of heaven on earth’...that being said, we would like to take this opportunity to be clear and direct about the practical details and realities of life at Robertson’s Cottages at Idlewild. We are new to managing this property for our family and we appreciate your unconditional understanding as we attentively and heartily navigate the ins, outs, ups and downs of anything and everything that arises with(in) these remarkable, rustic and vintage (OLD) cottages. Sometimes the sink drips and sometimes the shower leaks. There are leftover rust stains in the claw foot tubs from generations of use and the vintage bed frames tend to wobble. The fireplaces and wood stoves are decades old, time tested and insurance approved. Be weary of the wind and green wood sold. Smoke MAY enter your cottage when in use - if so give the 'cracking an ol' window trick' a try to see if that helps. ↟↟↟ We do not provide firewood, bed sheets, pillow covers, bath towels, beach towels, toiletries, hair dryers, cable television or pantry items other than salt & pepper. Not a single one of our cottages available includes air conditioning. All of the cottages feature ‘almost’ all original windows to finagle open, a rejuvenating harbor breeze and a few beloved fans to push the midsummer air around on the most humid nights. Traditionally, this area is known as “Nature’s Air Conditioned Vacationland”...but if it's sweaty o'clock and you have reached a point of physical, mental or emotional discomfort, we highly recommend a good ol’ fashioned dip in the lake. Nothing soothes a sweaty body or nurtures an inner child more than jumping off the end of the dock!↟↟↟ The wilderness is right outside and all around us. A stay in Idlewild means experiencing nearly the full spectrum of the natural world. Animals of Idlewild you may encounter during your stay include, but certainly aren't limited to, black squirrels, flying squirrels, red squirrels, regular (grey) squirrels, bats, Bubba (Robertson’s resident Bulldog), bunnies, chipmunks, deer, foxes, muskrats, mice, opossums, porcupines, raccoons, skunks and woodchucks...not to mention a PLETHORA of native and migrating birds, a variety of scaly slithery friends (who at times choose slither swimming as a means of transportation from one destination to the next) and bugs. Bugs have zero restrictions in Idlewild. Occasionally you may find a spider in the shower, experience the delightful buzz of a mosquito near your ear, or meet our little friends the gnats who are known for squeaking through screens in the evenings if lights are left on.↟↟↟ As you mentally prepare for a stay at Robertson’s, taking a moment to visualize this experience as ‘camping’ in conjunction with the MODEST amenities of a charcoal grill, coffee maker, refrigerator, stove and oven, cookware, tableware, microwave, mattress, pillows, extra blankets, a VERY small television and DVD player, flush toilets, warm showers, walls and a roof over your head, we feel you will have a memorable experience. If you’re looking for a refined, air conditioned, materially pristine and virtually bugless place to vacation, we fully honor that desire and sincerely support your decision to choose accommodations with one of the many facilities available in Sturgeon Bay. We feel a stay at Robertson’s Cottages truly all comes back to those looking to reconnect to a simpler time, a time before all things instant and wireless...an uninterrupted, slower time, deeply rooted in all things natural and nostalgic.↟↟↟ \*PLEASE READ\* Pre Season (Beginning of May - June 21), Peak Season (June 21 - August 23) & Post Season (August 23 - End of October) There is a two night minimum stay for all Pre and Post Season dates.

Easy check in and quick communication with host. Cabin was moist the entire time we were there. Floors had been bleached and were wet when we arrived. Water basin of coffee maker was dirty so we did not use it. Water must be from a well and smelled of sulphur - this is no one’s fault, just something to be aware of.

Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Jennifer M. 18 Aug 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a nice stay at the cottage and appreciated the charm of the older property, as noted in the listing. When checking in we noticed a spill in the fridge and a privy guest left a swim suite hanging in one of the rooms. A few updates could really improve the overall guest experience. Adding newer, sturdier chairs down by the beach would make the outdoor space more comfortable for adults to enjoy. Inside, having at least one good quality fry pan available would be a simple but valuable addition for those who prefer to cook during their stay. With a little extra upkeep and attention to these details, this property could be an even more enjoyable place to stay. ##### Jennifer M.

Some sort of information binder would be helpful. The cabin was as described- which was fine. Definitely rustic- terrible water pressure and wifi is really bad- keep getting kicked off- more of an issue for emergency issues and getting directions to go anywhere. ##### Taylor Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jesse D. 23 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very private getaway with GREAT FISHING!! The description of this property was spot on! It is camping with a roof, running water, a kitchen, and a bathroom. As long as you go into it with that expectation, this is the best place to stay for a quiet and private getaway. The cabins are older as this property has been family owned for decades. That means that not all the doors and windows seal. We had gorgeous weather and quickly found the perfect rhythm of 'windows open and lights off' to cut down on our winged friends. The common area was great to get to see people while still maintaining a great social distance. We had our own boat slip at the private dock and got to experience amazing fishing every day. My pups thoroughly enjoyed barking at all the wildlife and the resident gentle giant of a dog, Diesel. The owners were great and greeted us upon arrival and were available every day in case we encountered any issues (like my mother in law locking herself out of the cabin). This is definitely a trip that I will remember, and I hope to be able to return again next year! ##### Jesse D.

We came with our dogs. The front porch was only screen stapled to the frame. Our dogs would break through that with the wildlife around so we could not leave them there. The back door was only secured with a hook and eye lock. We had to go buy bungee cords to secure the handle to a kitchen drawer. Again my dogs could have gotten out. Let alone the security. The other cottages looked more secure. Nice people, nice place, just not secure. ##### Shelley T.

Basically sleeping outside. At some point in the distant past, this was probably a quaint family compound of cabins. To say that the Woodland cabin was rustic would be generous. We cut our stay short after the first night of swatting gnats and June bugs off ourselves. Much of the cabin is rotting away and almost every screen has holes in them allowing in a tremendous number of bugs once it got dark and a few lights wet on. This cabin should be removed from VRBO until basics are completed, like making sure screens are sufficient and the floors are level. Both beds are sloped significantly, causing us to have to sleep the opposite way, cramming get into the headboard. Beds were also advertised as queens, but were in fact fulls. Will be calling the owners and asking for a refund! Photos do not accurately depict the property. Bring a tent. This is a campsite. ##### Michael M.

Very nice beach, but too cold to swim. Wish they would of had boats or kayaks to rent. Nice pier for fishing though. ##### Kathleen T.
