Cozy and comfortable cottage located on 1.5 acres just 1.8 miles from downtown Sister Bay. Truly, the pictures just don’t do this spot justice. This great cottage features 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, terrific modern kitchen with basically every appliance you could need, wrap around deck for relaxing and entertaining plus a deck with seating off master bedroom. It is tastefully decorated and furnished and supplied with everything from dishware to cookware to linens and towels to much, much more. The huge fire pit and seating provides a lovely spot to enjoy any mild evening. Cottage is located on a quiet street just off Highway 57 with lots of privacy and trees around the property. Sister Bay is ten minutes from Fish Creek, Ephraim, Ellison Bay and Baileys Harbor – so this cottage puts you right in the middle of everything that northern Door County has to offer. First floor consists of great room with dining area with seating for four, lovely kitchen and cozy living room with vaulted ceiling with fire view propane stove. There is also a first floor laundry area with full sized front loading washer and dryer and storage, main bedroom with queen sized bed, roomy storage and full bathroom. Stairs lead to the loft area with media area and leather seating, second bedroom with queen sized bed and second full bathroom. Cottage has central heating and air conditioning – so it is the perfect spot in any weather. Satellite TV and wifi/internet are provided in case you time to settle in for a bit! We are definitely dog friendly -- with advance agreement. We use Mosquito Squad to treat our 1.5 semi wooded acres to keep mosquitos and tick populations down. Huge firepit with seating. Wrap around deck with gas grill and dining table and chairs. Private deck with seating off main, first floor bedroom.
We will leave bulk sized bottles for your use of hand soap, shampoo and conditioner. We will wash those bottles prior to your arrival. We will leave extra cleaning supplies and sprays under kitchen and bathroom cabinets.
And, in order to provide us with greater time to clean your rentals, we have moved check out time to 10 am and check in time to 4 pm. You can always contact us to see if it might be possible to arrive sooner – but with discharge at 10 am and arrival delayed until 4 pm, we need to have sufficient time to provide you with the cleanest rental possible. Ourdoor furniture will be cleaned as well prior to your arrival. All of our grills are gas grills and we will be certain to leave a back up small gas tank if needed at that rental. Please bag all garbage and leave in the outdoor garbage cans. Lawn care is provided to us every week to two weeks. We are often not aware what date they will be coming – but please rest assured that they will be fast and will not interrupt your visit.

The entire property is clean, inviting and comfortable. Pet welcoming and convenient to shopping, hiking, restaurants, but still private. Host is responsive if needed and we had a very enjoyable stay.
The rental was very clean and comfortable. We loved how dog friendly it was, too, with bowls, tie out, clean-up bags available. We also appreciated the extra sheets to cover the couch and bed to protect them from dog hair! There was also great info available about the community as well as how to use features of the rental. Kitchen thoroughly stocked with cookware and utensils.
This was the nicest property we have stayed in since we started vacationing in Door County. The house was supplied with everything we needed. The owner was so friendly and very responsive to our questions.
What a wonderful place to stay with our pup! Great location and the house had all the amenities we wanted. Karen is a terrific host and knows how to cater to pet owners. Will definitely stay here again when we return to Door Co.!
Our second time at Sister Bay Cozy Cottage and it did not disappoint. Everything you need conveniently located to everything. Will stay here again on any return trip to Door County.
Comfortable and well-equipped cottage that is close to everything we love doing in Door County.Wi-Fi access was very good and owners made themselves available to help with anything we needed.
We had a wonderful stay in Sister Bay, Door County. Karen was very responsive - especially when we had a bit of a clogged sink, she was right on helping us to remediate. The cottage itself was spotless, comfortable, and well appointed. The location was terrific - we had 1/2 hour access to just about anything throughout Door County.We'd definitely recommend!
Wonderful location. So quiet and relaxing. Close enough for shopping and eating but far enough so you are alone, not surrounded by others.The house had everything anyone would need. Great experience.

And, we will love seeing them again! It was a pleasure to have these nice folks stay with us! They were great guests in every way possible!
The house was outstanding. It was simple and very comfortable. The porch/deck were certainly highlights of this property. I was especially happy with the kitchen. Part of the yard is natural space, which was a huge plus for us. And, Sister Bay is sort of in the center of everything Door County. An awesome week.
