About this property

Cozy Log Cabin ON THE WATER with the Best Sand Beach in Door County!

The cottage doesn't look like much from the OUTSIDE. Please take a close look at the pictures on the inside. My mother and father built this Log Cabin in 1950 on the 'Quiet Side' of Door County near the borderline of the Whitefish Dunes State Park. As you look out the windows you will see beautiful Lake Michigan along with white birch trees, an assortment of evergreen trees, the sand dunes. The beautiful Sand Beach begins at your door. The sand on the beach is so clean that it 'squeaks' when you walk on it. You will absolutely love our beach! Relax and build sandcastles with your kids. The water is very clean and the drop off is very gradual - ideal for kids of any age.

The furniture in the log cabin has been updated and is very comfortable. The bathroom is very small BUT there is a "dressing room" adjacent with plenty of counter space and an additional sink and mirror. In September 2018 all the mattresses were replaced with new ones.

Due to COVID-19 all members of our cleaning service have received additional training in enhanced cleaning and disinfecting. For more information regarding our enhanced cleaning click this link - https://www.homeaway.com/discoveryhub/tips-and-resources/improve-performance/covid-19-cleaning-tips.

Location of log house is on private beach and sand dunes starts from your 1st step towards beach from log house. Beach was clean with shallow water. Log house is original and antique but isn't maintain well. There are cobwebs and dead insects in the corner, ceiling and behind the items in the house. We saw a mouse and a bat in the house on 2nd day. My daughters were too scared from these pests and forced us to leave the house one day early. Chairs in the house are not maintained, and covers are torn. Vegetation surrounding the house is terribly grown and unnecessary items thrown around log house. Inspection and approval of the house are questionable.

A slice of heaven right on the beach!

This little rustic cabin takes you back to a simpler time. It is well appointed with everything you need for a relaxing stay on the beach. My husband and I took our two dogs with us for a last-minute early fall long weekend in Door County. This cabin was perfect! The weather was unseasonably warm and sunny so we were able to say one last goodbye to summer on the beach. Fred is very responsive and friendly. He checked in on us via email a couple of times to be sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again.

Fall getaway 2019

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Most notable is the cabin is right on Lake Michigan with a beautiful vista above the lake on a sand dune. Very comfortable chairs are provided so you can enjoy the waves and clean air. The state park is 1000 feet away so it is really convenient for a hike in the woods. The cabin is, very spacious and comfortable with a newer modern washroom - really well equipped kitchen. Great views from the cabin of the lake. Property is also set in very wooded area. Great time. We hope to return.

We came to unwind in nature and got that beyond our wildest dreams! Staying in this family cabin filled with love and memories was magical. It’s rustic, yet good for a couple. Fred, u are the best host ever and meeting your brother by chance was also a gift. He told us about the Northern Lights, and saw them from the beach the next night! Thank u both! Every night we had a fire. One warm night, we built one on the beach in a new fire pit provided. Listening to the waves and gazing at the clear night sky was a perfect anniversary gift! Mornings and afternoons flew by enjoying the sandy beach and kayaking Lake Michigan on calmer days. 2 nights we enjoyed the short beautiful drive to the for dinner and fun. Loved it all!side f o

Amazing!

Literally the best place on the water. You have to see it to believe it. We had the most peaceful wonderful time with our dogs. Morning walks along the beach. Coffee with the sunrise. Wine with the sunset. The cabin had everything you would need to enjoy a relaxing stay. The owners are wonderful and were very accommodating and friendly. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We already booked a week for next summer and will continue to do so every year .

Perfect remote get-a-way, with a couple thing to work on.

Pro’s: super remote, steps away from the Whitefish Dunes state park hiking trails, beautiful property on the beach, couldn’t ask for a better location. Hot water for shower, stove works great, nice seating inside & out. Cute family paraphernalia all over & it was like stepping back into time. Beautiful fireplace, plenty of bed space. Con’s: this place is so lovely, but it’s in dire need of updating, especially the bed/mattresses. We were trying all the beds in the house like Goldilocks, but they just really need to be replaced. Everything else is old, but usable. When you’re at the beach it doesn’t matter, but if we owned this lovely little place I’d definitely update all of the kitchen supplies & all of the furniture & give the place a good scrub. Another huge con for us was no notice about the annual Mayfly phenomena. There were mayflies literally everywhere. Apparently this happens every year around mother’s day to late May, and we didn’t know anything about it. We were totally unable to enjoy the beach because of this & some of our hikes were spent swatting masses of mayflies who cling to your pants, shirts, anywhere. Luckily they don’t bite, but they really are bothersome. It would be great for the owners to let folks know this occurs each year, and when (mid-late May, for about 2weeks- says the lady at the nature center.) We wouldn’t come back unless we read that the beds/mattresses had been updated (vacation must include good sleep for me!) however it really is a gem of cabin nestled in the heart of a wonderful place. We were close to fish creek, egg harbor & the highlight for us was renting bikes just outside of the Peninsula State Park & biking their sunset trail. Bayside Restaurant & Wild Tomato were great places for lunch.

Nice location

Location to get around Door County is great. We hiked at several of the main parks around Door County, two of them walking distance from this cabin - Whitefish Dunes State Park and Cave Point Park (which was our favorite). Beautiful sunrises. Great beach - feels like you are at the ocean. The place itself is small and rustic. It’s definitely showing its age, but it had all the amenities you needed (and a lot of great memories for the family). Hiost was great too. We enjoyed our weekend there.

We’ve been to door county a handful of times and feel so lucky we found this spot. It’s hard to beat being right on the beach. Our kids were in heaven and we brought our dog as well and he loved it! A perfect rustic cabin on the beach.

Cozy family cottage in perfect location!

The cottage was perfect and as-described, with many cool artifacts from the property-owners family! The location was perfect for star-gazing and walking on the beach. It was chilly when we stayed, but I bet the swimming is fantastic during the summer! The property owner was very responsive and accommodating. Would absolutely stay again!

Perfect Beach Get-Away

After leaving Chicago on a Friday afternoon, full of traffic frustrations it was amazing to drive-up to the cabin, get out of the car and see an amazing beach in front of me. True "wow". The cabin is rustic and reminded me of summer days as a child at my parents cottage, the atmosphere of the cabin is awash with fond memories and joy. I loved my stay and it was a perfect get-away from the city for a weekend. The beach is amazing, I could have sat and watched the water forever and walked up and down the coastline all day too. The host is so nice, and was super easy and a delight to interact with.

Quaint Beachside Cabin

Lovely beach getaway! The vintage cabin, full of love and memories, and beachside, dog friendly access made our stay. We would love to find our way back here in the near future. As an fyi, this is not the right accommodation for those looking for a glamorous stay away, but if you appreciate the days of old and the love of family, this is the place for you. The upstairs loft / bedroom area is spacious, but the stairs are steep so keep that in mind. There is also a downstairs bedroom which is quite comfortable.
