Starkhaus: A Modern Cabin | Walk to DT SB

Imagine gathering your friends or family to a vacation where you can wake up to the sound of birds chirping and waves crashing in the distance, then casually walking to downtown Sister Bay for breakfast.

After you’re done exploring all Door County has to offer within minutes of your front door, come home to embrace the crackle of a freshly lit campfire.

With the perfect set up for family gatherings or friends getaways, Starkhaus is designed to deliver a top-tier experience for your getaway to Door County for up to 12 guests and your furry family members.

Picture being tucked away in your own section of woods with the scents of maple trees and the sounds of Lake Michigan’s rolling waters in the distance. Starkhaus offers you just that, and much more.

At any moment, you’ll be able to take a quick stroll with the dog or drive to let your feet feel the mix of warm sand and cool water of Sister Bay beach.

It may be the location and amenities that many desire that creates Starkhaus’ allure, but it's the sense of comfort and tranquility that give it its' spirit.

THE SPACE

MAIN FLOOR

Tucked just inside the front door and laundry area, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms with plenty of room to spread out with two rooms that include a king bed and two twin beds.

Downstairs two queen beds await with plenty space to spread out. All bedrooms feature luxury-grade plush bedding and smart TV’s.

☆☆ BATHROOMS ☆☆

There are three bathrooms spread throughout the home, offering plenty of space for your group.

There are many great restaurants just minutes away, but on days you want to cook at home, the open-concept kitchen has everything you need to create delicious meals. It features modern touches like a subway-style backsplash, expansive counter space, custom cabinets, a large sink, whisper-quiet dishwasher, and kitchen appliances like a toaster, oven/stove, microwave, and multiple coffee maker options to suit every java lover's dreams. If you’re feeling extra Wisconsin-y, head outside to the deck, where you’ll have access to a full propane grill for those nights you feel like cooking up some burgers and brats.

The warm and welcoming living room centers around a classic yet modern fireplace that adds a warm glow to the room on those chilly evenings. There's a mounted flat-screen TV just above, and the plenty of soft seating to ensure everyone gets the best seat in the house. Pop some popcorn and enjoy a family movie night together.

Step off the deck into the backyard where you’ll experience the crackle of a freshly lit campfire.
