About the host
Hosted by sophie taubert gehan
Built in 1946 by a founding fishing family with lumber from the surrounding cedar trees and recently remodeled, the cottages preserve the original layout while offering comfortable accommodations and a relaxing atmosphere.
Bought in 2001 by a Door County native with the idea of offering a restorative and safe environment close to nature and the beautiful landscapes of the Northern Peninsula.
