Picturesque Door County Waterfront Cottage! Swim, Play, Relax...Have It All!

If you can envision a waterfront lot with mature trees and views straight out of a dream, thoughtful interior design and décor suited for a cozy waterfront cottage, and every creature comfort you could ask for in a Door County waterfront retreat...then you are envisioning The Bayhouse!

As you pull up to The Bayhouse, you will instantly feel the "Up North" pull and be met with the most beautiful and expansive water view. We have cultivated what we feel will be the most all-inclusive Door County stay one could ask for; ideal waterfront prime for swimming and fishing, included kayaks for guest use, a gas fireplace utilized by the flip of a switch, outdoor waterfront fire pit, outdoor furniture, interior touches that enhance your Door County vacation, and every creature comfort of home. Our property is located a mere 15 miles south of Sturgeon Bay allowing you the peace and tranquility only a property with this location can offer, while allowing for endless adventures travelling further North up the peninsula.

If you allow us the opportunity to host your stay, it will be an unforgettable experience with memories made to last a lifetime. This is your TRUE Door County getaway!

WELCOME!

*DISCLAIMER: Our pier was recently damaged and swept away in a large storm so there is no longer a pier. We do, however, have a concrete seawall at waters edge that allows for great waterfront access. The cottage is located in a more remote waterfront location and as such, our internet may experience intermittent spottiness. We have invested substantial resources in an attempt to improve the internet quality by switching providers and adding signal boosting equipment within the cottage. Also to note, the cottage utilizes a well and some guests may have an aversion to the hard water. The water is safe to drink but as an added convenience to our guests we provide filtered Culligan drinking water.

Tranquil water
Easy access. Right on the water, which was warm enough to swim in. Kayaks available along with floaties. Not too far from Sturgeon Bay and its restaurants. Host also was accommodating. Great stay overall.

Bayhouse Stay
Our 50th birthday girls trip had a great stay at this house. It was very clean & had plenty of room- the beds were very comfortable! The view & sound of the water rolling in was very relaxing. We loved the large fire pit & appreciated how easy the owners were to work with. Would love to go back again!

Bachelorette Weekend - 6 Women
Everything was super cute inside and the views outside were unbeatable. After reading other reviews, we were super conscious of our water use (arguably too much so) and didn't run into any issues. Already keeping this place in mind for future trips!

Great cabin & fun weekend. A little far from towns with restaurants, so plan accordingly.

The place was just as advertised except you can't describe the view unless you experience it. Just beautiful! Nice chairs to sit and take it all in. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect for A girls getaway!
Booked this property for a girls getaway weekend! The property was beautiful and was well maintained, kept up and clean! We appreciated the Culligan water on the property as well! Our only feedback would be the house has a 6 gallon water heater. Unfortunately this was not listed in the VBRO listing. It would have been nice to know in advance. We made it work, but it would have been tough if we had brought more then the 4 girls on the trip. Otherwise everything was great! We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed our weekend away!

Beautiful view!
Beautiful view of the bay from this house! We absolutely loved our mornings of drinking coffee and relaxing before heading up the peninsula. It was a bit dark on the roads driving back each night, but it was well worth it. Would definitely book again for our next visit to Door County!
