About this property

Lakefront!! 5 Star Home on the Bay! Waterfront Property with 200ft of Shoreline.

Welcome to Lulu's Bayside Retreat! Welcome to our cozy cottage with 200 feet of shoreline directly on the Bay. Wake up to the sound of water lapping on the shore, deer wandering by and birds singing in the trees. Watch as boats and ships make their journey north from Sturgeon Bay. Splash in the clear Bay waters, take a kayak for a ride, fish off the dock or just sit on the shore and enjoy the sites and sounds of our secluded location. End the day with a glass of wine on the deck or sit around the shore side firepit and watch the most amazing sunsets and cloud formations on earth. Make time to relax. Plan your trip today!

We named our home after our 4-year-old yellow lab who loves everything about our property. She especially loves launching herself off the dock to chase a ball or jumping in the boat as our boys head out to do a little fishing, so much she wears a lifejacket! She is so happy we bought this home for her...

While we do allow dogs, we have a strict one dog maximum. We are very sorry, but this is necessary to properly maintain our property for future guests as well as assist our cleaning service during guest turnover. Sorry, we cannot make any exceptions to this policy.

Experience our warm and inviting 2400 square foot (approx. 1,500 sf main level and 900 sf walkout basement) Bay Shore home located on a 3.3-acre heavily wooded lot set far back from the road with 200 feet of waterfront. The open concept main floor features a living room (20' x 15'), dining room (12' x 10'), kitchen (13' x 14'), master bedroom (14' x 13' with new Verlo queen mattress), 2nd bedroom (14' x 10' with 2 twin beds and pull out trundle bed), 3rd bedroom (12' x 12' with new Verlo queen mattress), full bathroom, and powder room. The main floor also includes a wood-burning fireplace set in a gorgeous stone chimney and sliding doors that walk out to a 14' x 53' elevated deck. Living room, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom all have amazing views of the Bay! It even has a nice sized screened porch (22' x 6') off the dining room facing the Bay and a 2 car garage for your use. Has forced air heat and central air conditioning. The living room also has a large screen TV with DVD player with local channel television stations.

The walkout basement features a giant recreation room (15' x 36') with pool table, full bath, nice sized bedroom, gas fireplace and new carpet. Wall to wall windows and door leading outside provide great light and views of the Bay. In addition to the two twin beds plus trundle in the basement bedroom, the basement couch also converts to a queen sized bed. Basement has a laundry room with new high capacity washer and dryer. Basement recreation room also has a large screen TV with Xbox, Wii and local television channels. Recreation room has tons of space for the kids to play while the adults can enjoy peace and quiet upstairs!

The large main deck has a patio table that seats 8 plus stairs to a lower deck that has a table with seating for 4-6 people. The main deck also has a nice sized area with Adirondack chairs. Both decks overlook the Bay.

The property has a large grassy sitting area on the shore with a picnic table and a fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs. The shore also includes a dock with both ladder and stairs for swimming and water fun! There is even a swing set with a slide, 2 kayaks and paddleboard for use by all guests. Life vests also provided! Do not tie kayak or paddle board to dock as this will damage our dock due to waves tugging on kayak/paddle board and therefore damaging dock.

VERY IMPORTANT: Guests cannot use our dock or boat lift to store there own boats. Any boat tied to our dock will very quickly damage our dock and your boat. The dock is not designed for boat tie ups. Egg Harbor Marina and Murphy Park offer boat ramps for daily boat trips.

We hope you love Lulu's Bayside Retreat as much as we do. There is plenty of room for 10 guests to relax and enjoy everything Door County has to offer.

Great stay.

All had a great time. Have stayed in Door County a number of times and this was one of the best. The kids (in their 40s) really enjoyed kayaking (even Papa & Nana enjoyed them). Would recommend for a great families vacation.

Beautiful waterfront property

This was our first time in Door County and we absolutely loved our stay at Lulu’s. The house was very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the fireplace and phenomenal view of the bay. Would love to come back in warmer weather.

Perfect Family Getaway: A Serene Waterfront Retreat

Our recent stay at this vacation rental was absolutely wonderful! It was exactly what our family needed—a relaxing getaway filled with laughter, fun, and quality time with sisters and spouses. The house provided each of us with plenty of room to spread out, recharge, and enjoy our own space.While we had a bit of rain during our stay, Mother Nature made it up to us with a truly spectacular sunset on our final night—well worth the wait! The location of the house was ideal for exploring the sights and charm of Door County, with easy access to everything the area has to offer.The home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and communication with the host was excellent throughout. We’re already talking about planning another trip and would love to come back. Highly recommend this property!

Family reunion

This lovely home by the lake truly offers the comforts of home. From the living spaces to the sleeping accommodations to the quality of the furnishings, you can tell this really is someone’s HOME, and not just a rental. The waterfront is spectacular, with great views from inside the house and well-appointed gathering places outside. Thank you, Kurt and Triona, for a wonderful stay in your home!!

Fantastic Egg Harbor Home

We (6 adults) loved this place. So easy to be in, so comfy and such a wonderfully stocked kitchen. We all cook, and were able to spend Thanksgiving there with a kitchen that everything we needed and more. The private location was down a private drive, right on Green Bay. Delightful. Six people was ideal and I recommend this place highly and without reservation. Thank you.

Awesome house and view

Wisconsin water beauty. Our stay was great but disappointed that a storm damaged the deck so it was removed. We went in September and there was a huge fruit fly problem, which was annoying. If you plan on using the kitchen, make sure you bring everything with you the nearest store in 30 minutes away.

Great location and view

First time to Door County and stayed here for 4 nights. The location and view are perfect. Owner is responsive and gracious! Very nice! The home is perfect for group of friends or family. You have everything you need for a great stay. The only reason I gave 4 stars for cleanliness was there is a musty, damp smell in lower level and cleaning crew caused a delay in check in. So the cleaning crew issue is one of those uncontrollable situations and just delayed check in by a couple of hours. Not a negative against the property or owner and nothing to stop anyone from enjoying this property. You can enjoy beautiful sunsets and the location is ideal! I would stay here again!!

Vacation in Door County!

Had a GREAT week at Lulu’s Bayside Retreat! The house was perfect for our group of 6 adults + one infant. It was great to have two “living room” like spaces for those in our group who wanted some quiet time. Kitchen was well equipped and clean with a table big enough for our group – AND – the bedrooms had some of the most comfortable mattresses in the world. Take full advantage of the lakeside fire pit – there is no better way to conclude a busy day than with a warm fire and an incredible sunset!!! We thoroughly enjoyed exploring Fish Creek, Ephraim, and Sister Bay! Don’t miss the chance to go to Al Johnson’s in Sister Bay – great eggs benedict and pancakes. Also, great breakfast at the Rusty Tractor Café, just a six minute drive away! For those of you who are Door County rookies, like us, be sure you do a Fish Boil – fun show and great food. We’ll be back!

Great place to stay with the family. Plenty of room and well equipped kitchen.

We so appreciate Kurt and Triona for making their property available. It is beautiful inside and out, very spacious, with room for everyone in the family (including our dog!), yet a very private space from neighbors, and we lacked for nothing.

About the host

Hosted by Kurt and Triona Schmelter

Host profile image
Our family has been visiting Door County for over 10 years. We love everything Door County has to offer, so much that we purchased this retreat on the bay. Some of us enjoy Door County in both the winter and summer! My wife and I have 3 high school aged boys and of course our yellow lab Lulu. We live about 20 minutes north of Chicago.

We are the 2nd owners of this home. The previous owners built the home in 1968 immediately after they got married. He spent his entire career working at the Sturgeon Bay Shipyard and raised his family in this home.

Why they chose this property

We knew immediately when we saw this property it was special. Nice sized home, on a large piece of land (very private 3.3-acre setting) with over 200 feet of waterfront. Sure it needed some minor updating, but we could tell the previous owners really loved their home. There was just something special about it.

What makes this property unique

The first time we saw the property we absolutely fell in love with the condition of the home, gorgeous land and shore. Having 200 feet of shoreline is hard to find. The house was in great condition and had a nice family feeling. We also loved the fact there was plenty of room to have guests come to stay with us. We looked at a lot of lake homes and this one stood out immediately as something special.
