About this property
Peaceful, Cozy, Clean, Fun Mid-Century Stay! Backyard Oasis Waterfall, Fireplace
Fish Creek Beginnings is a charming, peaceful, and updated mid-century modern home nestled in the woods. Although a more private location, it is located just minutes from the hustle and bustle of downtown Fish Creek. Activities, restaurants, a swimming beach, YMCA, and a marina are all nearby. You can even ride your bike the 1.5 miles to the heart of Fish Creek. The home is also centrally located to access the other major towns in Door County. Your private oasis is truly close to everything Door County has to offer!
Enjoy the nostalgic charm of this updated mid-century 2 bedroom home. The cottage is stocked with retro board games, croquet, bags, and bocce ball. Make smores around the outdoor Door County firepit, gaze at the stars, watch the birds, cozy in with the indoor gas fireplace, dance to the record player, and enjoy a meal in the fully stocked kitchen.
The interior open concept is very comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen; cook-top, oven, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, dishwasher and ample seating. A spacious living room with comfortable furniture, TV, satellite cable, DVD player, VCR along with tons of VHS classics, WIFI, stone gas fireplace, big windows, and an extra large view of the woods & waterfall.
There are two bedrooms; The master with a king bed and large view of the backyard, and the other a peaceful king bedroom. The master has blackout curtains and both bedrooms have sleep machines making for a good nights sleep. There is central air, an updated bathroom with a clean shower, and a washer & dryer. Fish Creek Beginnings' backyard is a nature paradise with a gorgeous stone waterfall (5' drop.) The sound of the waterfall makes the backyard feel extra tranquil and peaceful. It's complete with a large outdoor patio, charcoal grill, built-in fire pit, outdoor string lights, large dining table, and fun chairs. You can also walk the private bridge, trails and woods. Enjoy Mother Nature here. It's woods, water features, wildlife, a busy bird feeder, and stargazing. The home is nestled in 14 acres of forest containing cedar and maple, wetlands, and perennial landscape. Fish Creek’s seasonal creek begins on the property which is where the name comes from.
Fish Creek Beginnings is perfect for a Romantic Getaway or a Family Vacation. However, as much we love little kiddos, if they are extra active and you don't feel like watching their every move, this is not an ideal place to rent. There is too much within their reach indoors and out.
Check-in: 4:00 PM or later Check-out: 11:00 AM or earlier There is a $75.00 cleaning fee. Sorry, No Pets or Exceptions. There is ample parking for your vehicles, bikes and/or boat. The garage is for the owners.
Fish Creek Beginnings does not provide charcoal for the grill or firewood for the outdoor firepit. If any is left from previous guest you are welcome to use it.
If you want to relax in a retro happy home in a private and peaceful location, we welcome you to FISH CREEK BEGINNINGS! Where Fish Creek starts & memories never end.

Our family of 4 loved staying at Fish Creek Beginnings for our first time visiting Door County. The location could not be better. Many thoughtful touches throughout that made our stay easy and peaceful. We hope to come back soon!
The house was cozy and comfortable. We loved watching the birds in the back yard and hearing the waterfall. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. The house is centrally located to Fish Creek and Egg Harbor.
We had an amazing time at the cottage. It’s in a beautiful wooded setting that is peaceful and relaxing. The home is very well-equipped, clean, stylish, and cozy. The hosts are great to work with. This is our 8th return trip and we’re already looking forward to next summer.
Overall wonderful. Nice quiet location with easy access to town by car (or bike). Checkout was a bit of a challenge as we worked hard to wash and dry all towels and sheets in time.
We enjoyed having a getaway only a short drive from Fish Creek as well as the other DC towns. We loved the vintage feel and put the fire pit to good use, enjoying it with a local glass of wine! We'll definitely be back and we'll recommend to others!
We had the best time staying at this property. It was perfect for our girls getaway to Door County for Fall Fest. We especially loved the backyard and using the fire pit to make S’mores. We appreciated all the little details the owners have put into their home for guests. Thanks for the wonderful stay!
This is the most comfortable home that we have ever stayed in. Nothing was lacking. Hosts were responsive to all communication. Directions and check-in info were clear. Lovely home and park-like grounds. This is a home that we would happily return to in the future.
Very pleasant place to be. Inside and out. It feels very private, but is only a few minutes from Egg Harbor or Fish Creek. Hosts promptly respond to any inquiries. Beds are comfy. Sheets are cotton, so perfect sleeping. Quiet!
