About this property
Waterfront Home In Baileys Harbor ~ Fantastic Views Of The Harbor And Islands!
Vacationing by the lake is the consummate Door County experience. The waves will lull you to sleep and the ever-changing mood of the lake will become your favorite memory. Kite and sail surfers practice in our bay because of the calm conditions. All types of pleasure and fishing boats arrive and ore ships hug the shore as they pass.
The clean lines of the Empire style interior are accented by our collection of one-of-a-kind antiques from around the world. Each area has an access to the outside by way of a porch or balcony. Each room is cleverly designed to have a lake view.
The queen bedrooms are off the porch and deck on the main floor and upstairs in the whirlpool area. The standard bedrooms are off the garage and upstairs in the Carousel area. 3 bathrooms are attached to bedrooms; one in the upstairs Carousel area is not. A bunk bedroom for children has on full and four single beds.
You are ten minutes away from thick and lively shopping traffic on the bay side. Our lake side is known as the quiet nature sanctuary of unique wild plants and animals. The beauty and calm has drawn the most talented actors and artists to this area since the early 1900's. We have been sharing this house for the last twenty-two years.
Children are delighted to play in the sand at the shallow water's edge, walk to Anclaim Beach Park, ride the wild carousel rabbit, play the unique folk toys, or other games and antique bicycles. The collection of five hundred DVDs can be viewed as the family prepares for bed. Ask for directions to The Farm where even older children like to purchase food for the hungry baby barnyard animals.

Excellent location!! House has a lot of character will keep everyone talking with the cool old items displayed in home. Only concern was a few things could have been cleaned better before our arrival but overall had a wonderful time.

We are glad you enjoyed yourselves. Thanks for telling us about the partially clogged sink. I used power foam on all oof the sink drains. We want the building to five-star ready for the next group. Our other building Mary’s Beach House is booked solid but if you want a comparable change for next year.

We enjoyed the comfortable and cozy environment. The antiques were very nice.
Beautiful location right on the water and in the middle of everything Bailey's Harbor has to offer. House had plenty of space for our family. Owners were very kind and answered all our questions.

We are glad you enjoyed the Cedar Beach House and its updated facility. Mary and Ray
Large house, great for accommodating a big group of people. The house was well stocked and also conveniently located next to a small grocery next door. Harbor view was beautiful and perfect for watching the sunrise. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful frontage and home . Amazing carvings and antiques . Loved sitting on the deck and overlooking the Lake. Needs a few repairs here and there but overall, a great stay !
Property was located for easy access and allowed walking to Beaches and tourist visiting areas. The backyard provided a safe and fun place for grandkids to play and family to gather. Kitchen and Bathroom facilities were properly stocked and provided easy access for all people to use and be comfortable.

Thank you Don.! You were excellent guests! Maryandray
This is the most unique and interesting vacation rental I've ever seen! A truly fully stocked kitchen, expansive DVD collection, and lots of space for relaxing and socializing. We took advantage of the spacious lakefront yard and fire pit. The decor was a hit amongst our party! And the location is ideal for walking to shops, restaurants, and the nearby beach and park.
Fascinating wood carving collections by owner. Many entertaining options. Walking distance to shops, churches, restaurants. Historic. Great view over lake Michigan.Mattress a little hard.
The property was as described by prior renters. Quirky and in need of some updating &TLC. That being said the house was what we needed for a family reunion of 5 couples. The location is great and the views were stunning.
Great property within walking distance of anything you would want in Bailey’s Harbor

The location of the house was perfect. Walkable to the downtown area and also close to cities and activities - we had fun. And, having Lake Michigan in the backyard was great! We weren't aware that 2 of the bedrooms were built off the garage and had to walk through the garage to get to them. Also, one of the those bedrooms didn't have any window treatments which is difficult for privacy. We enjoyed the outdoor space and a bonfire.

Fantastic views and location!
The location is great. Can walk all over. Views are stunning. The biggest issue was the cleanliness of the home. It really needs a deep clean and some updating.

We are disputing this review. We had one more hour of cleaning when the group arrived early. They took control of the house and began decorating it for the bride's arrival. 1/3 of the cleaning couldn't be completed and a few beds were not made by us. This happens often but to ask for a refund on the cleaning after asking for a discount because they didn't use all the rooms has never happened in 56 years of renting out our homes.
Spacious older house with a large backyard overlooking Lake Michigan. Located on the main highway (busy during the day) within walking distance to restaurants/shops/nightspots. Good-sized bedrooms.

Thank you for your review. Mary’s Beach House (listing 130307 on VRBO) is rural with a lovely beach.
Our whole family and dog were here for a 4 day vacation. We enjoyed the beautiful view of Lake Michigan. On the clear nights, the stars were bright. The layout and size of the property is great for a large group like our family. The large dining room table was perfect for meals and gathering for games. The kids enjoyed running in the backyard and being within walking distance of the beach. The host was quick to respond and answer our questions. The location worked for taking advantage of the many activities throughout Door County.
We had an amazing time in this beautiful historic house with our group of 11. Plenty of space and the most spectacular lakefront views. Also, within walking distance to a great Brewery and other restaurants. The owners were a pleasure to work with as well. Can’t wait to come back!
We all enjoyed our time in this unique home. The backyard water view, balconies and time around the firepit were a bit hit! The hosts were very helpful and available to us.

Why they chose this property
It is large enough for family reunions and on the water. We just did reconstruction on the balconies overlooking the harbor, removed the green carpeting upstairs and put in a hardwood floor and a bunk bed room instead of the second kitchen(2018).
What makes this property unique
The view of the water from three decks and an all weather porch.
